Computer Scientist Jobs in Seattle, WA

INTRODUCTION

We are looking for a Deep Learning and Computer Vision engineer for our Autonomous Vehicles team. The role involves applying state-of-the-art techniques to build ground truth for autonomous vehicles, a critical aspect of our next-generation products. You will have the opportunity to work with top researchers and engineers in the field of deep learning and computer vision to deliver impact to our customers around the world. Intelligent machines powered by Artificial Intelligence computers that can learn, reason and interact with people are no longer a science fiction. Today, a self-driving car powered by AI can meander through a country road at night and find its way. An AI-powered robot can learn motor skills through trial and error. The era of AI has begun. NVIDIA's GPUs run Deep Learning algorithms, simulating human intelligence, and acts as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Just as human imagination and intelligence are linked, computer graphics and AI come together in our architecture. This may explain why. NVIDIA GPUs are used broadly for Deep Learning, and NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI company”. Make your choice to join us today. We are training Deep Neural Networks for NVIDIA's Autonomous Vehicles effort, with the goal to enable autonomous driving. We are seeking Deep Learning/Machine Learning interns who are passionate about solving problems in perception, prediction, planning and control for self-driving cars to achieve full autonomy. Are you interested in inventing human level AI for navigation in the unconstrained world under any conditions? If so, join us!
