For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics and data centers products. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of innovative visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass personal computer games, movie production, product design, artificial intelligence, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people interact with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team. NVIDIA is now passionate about innovation at the intersection of visual processing, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence.

Besides being a leader in AI, NVIDIA has entered the Automotive graphics' segment with GPUs since 2006. Since then, we have increased our product offerings to include complete graphics support for customer navigation and instrument clusters. It is an exciting time for the auto industry, as the car is becoming a connected system, and graphics and computing power is redefining the automobile. NVIDIA is at the forefront, providing high-end to mid-level performance solutions for these meaningful changes in automotive industry, we are now looking for a Senior Reliability Engineer. The position is an individual contributor role, working with the cross-functioning teams. Below are the required key responsibilities of the position.
