Senior Director, Engineering - Imaging Software

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work.

Are you ready to chart a path to empowering intelligent autonomous vision? We are now looking for a Senior Director to lead our Camera Software organization and grow imaging capabilities across consumer, automotive, and edge platforms. The ideal candidate has a strong background delivering production camera and imaging software stacks on embedded systems. You will have deep expertise in advanced image processing and neural imaging pipelines. Experience building AI-based camera solutions at scale is critical. We invite a proven engineering leader to guide the future of intelligent camera systems. This includes combining computational imaging, real-time neural processing, and stable embedded software to power new vision-enabled devices.

What you'll be doing:

• Refining how imaging pipelines are processed, developing the next generation of algorithms and interfaces to world models and inference

• Enabling production quality stacks for humanoid robotics and autonomous vehicles

• Developing applied research capabilities bringing together imaging and inference

• Leading teams across NVIDIA in the development of world class imaging capabilities

What we need to see:

• 8+ years of leadership experience leading multiple software engineering and algorithm teams and projects

• Strong software development skills and experience leading teams to deliver production software on time. Agentic SW development (Claude Code, Codex) is a must

• Experience formulating and completing technical roadmaps and strategies while delivering embedded software stacks at production quality

• History of developing computational imaging, computer vision, and sophisticated imaging algorithms and solutions—from ISP pipelines to deep learning for camera systems (e.g., HDR, denoising, super-resolution, scene understanding)

• Working experience with embedded HW technologies and I/O interfaces such as MIPI CSI, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, SPI, I2C

• 15+ years of overall experience

• Master’s or PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Vision, Applied Math, or related field

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 340,000 USD - 517,500 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until April 4, 2026.
