Software Engineer, Robotics

As a Software Engineer on the NVIDIA Isaac projects, 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 real-time robotics applications and real-world experience with multi-body robots, such as humanoids and surgical robots.

What You Will Be Doing

• Bring the latest advancements in Physical AI to simulated and real robots by building the runtime framework and healthcare industrial workflows, showcasing the power of NVIDIA's technology.
• Collaborate across team boundaries to integrate NVIDIA robotics products such as Jetson Thor, Isaac GR00T, Holoscan, and Isaac Sim/Lab into the solution for robots.
• Take on a variety of challenges, bridging between research and commercial environments.
• Deploy and test the developed software on real robots.
  
  

What We Need To See

• Master's degree or above in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of experience.
• Skilled at robotic policy development workflow, from lab to launch: teleoperation, synthetic data generation, domain randomization, VLA and RL post-training, sim2real transfer, deployment with edge AI platforms.
• Familiar with popular VLA and RL algorithms, co-working with robotics researchers to design robotic policy for specific tasks, especially healthcare scenes.
• Proven experience in designing and building robotics software stacks.
• Proficiency in Python, C++, PyTorch. Willingness to learn new languages and tools as needed.
• Ability to adapt to fast-paced development lifecycles, multi-functional organizations, new technologies and platforms.
