Senior Staff/Principal Software Engineer - GPU System Software, Onboard Execution

Architect onboard GPU execution. Define how perception, prediction, and planning workloads share onboard GPUs, including scheduling, multi-tenancy, isolation, and deterministic latency under contention.

Drive compute reduction. Own the multi-year roadmap to cut onboard compute per vehicle by setting latency and utilization budgets and landing the biggest levers across models, runtimes, middleware, and hardware in real releases.

Shape hardware and platform direction. Guide next-generation compute decisions (GPU and SoC selection, topology, memory budgets) with workload models and performance projections that justify them, then lead performance bring-up of each new platform.

Lead inference performance at scale. Set direction for the inference stack (TensorRT, CUDA, custom kernels, quantization) and partner with ML teams so models are designed for the hardware they ship on.

Provide technical leadership. Lead and mentor senior engineers, align directors and VPs through design docs, and make the hard calls when performance, safety, and schedule conflict.

Real-time or embedded GPU experience: autonomy, robotics, AR/VR, games, or HPC. Production GPU multi-tenancy (MPS, MIG, priority streams). New GPU architecture or platform bring-up, benchmarking methodology, or workload modeling and projections.
