Senior Software Engineer, Humanoid Robotics

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer on the Isaac Applications Team, you will help build the platform for Physical AI robots — enabling sim-first development, real-world deployment, and continuous learning to make them smarter over time. The ideal candidate will have strong software engineering skills for (soft) realtime robotics applications and real-world experience with multi-body robots, such as humanoids or quadrupeds.

What You Will Be Doing

• Bring the latest advancements in Physical AI to simulated and real humanoid robots by building the humanoid reference platform showcasing the power of NVIDIA's technology.
• Collaborate across team boundaries to integrate NVIDIA robotics products such as Jetson Thor, Isaac Gr00t, and Isaac Sim/Lab into one solution for humanoid robots.
• Take on a variety of challenges, bridging between research and commercial environments.
• You will be deploying and testing your software on real robots in the lab.
  
  

What We Need To See

• Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience.
• Proven experience in designing and building real-time robotics software stacks.
• Demonstrated success in bringing robotics solutions from lab to launch, with direct involvement in implementation and deployment.
• Proficiency in Python, C++, PyTorch, CUDA, and middleware. Willingness to learn new languages and tools as needed.
• Ability to adapt to fast-paced development lifecycles, multi-functional organizations, new technologies and platforms.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to determine the best approach to complex challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working effectively with diverse teams.
