Design and implement lane-level localization, perception-map association, and lane selection systems using navigation maps. Develop efficient, safe C++ algorithms and productize software to automotive quality and safety standards for deployment in consumer autonomous vehicles. Work with large-scale real and synthetic datasets and collaborate across teams.
We are looking for Localization and Planning Engineers to join us. Navigation maps are an essential piece of autonomous driving systems, providing rich driving context, including road level and lane level information. In this role, you will work on localizing, perception-map association, and lane selection with navigation maps to enable advanced features for autonomous vehicles.
What you'll be doing:
- Design and implement systems using standard navigation maps, e.g. Google maps, to help navigate the car along a route on a lane level.
- Ensure algorithms perform effectively across large-scale real-world and synthetic datasets in diverse environments..
- Write safe, highly efficient code in C++.
- Productize all software for real-world deployment to consumer cars, follow automotive quality and safety standards (MISRA, ISO26262).
What we need to see:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related fields (or equivalent experience).
- 8+ years of proven experience.
- Strong algorithmic design background.
- Outstanding communication and teamwork skills, as this project requires both cross-team collaboration and work in a tightly-knit team.
- Meticulous craftsmanship of software in modern C++, using RAII and the best exception safe coding practices.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Prior industrial experience with navigation maps, online mapping, or lane planning.
We believe that realizing self-driving cars will be a defining contribution of our generation (e.g. traffic accidents cause ~1.25 million deaths per year world-wide). We have the funding and scale, but we need your help on our team. NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers with some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working here. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
