Job description
from Nvidia careersWe are looking for a technically adept and motivated Principal Carline Program Manager to coordinate the complete implementation of self-driving features for one of our vehicle models. You will partner with engineering, product, system, and validation teams to bring next-generation driving intelligence from concept to production. Ideal for problem-solvers who excel at integrating software, hardware, and vehicle systems in fast-paced environments.
NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work: to amplify human creativity and intelligence. NVIDIA is often viewed as one of the most sought-after employers in the tech industry. We have some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people working in the team. If you're creative and love challenges, we would love to hear.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Lead the full lifecycle of an autonomous driving program—from definition and prototype to mass-production readiness.
Coordinate multi-functional engineering teams (software, perception, control, hardware, testing) toward shared milestones.
Manage schedules, dependencies, and risk across internal and customer programs with transparency and urgency.
Define and supervise key metrics (velocity, release cadence, validation readiness) to ensure high-quality delivery.
