Job description
from Nvidia careersNVIDIA's Robotics Platform is at the forefront of the physical AI revolution, developing the software and hardware systems that power the next generation of intelligent machines — from industrial robot arms to humanoid robots capable of operating autonomously in complex, real-world environments. We build the foundational compute stacks and AI sensor processing frameworks that enable robots to perceive, reason, and act with unprecedented capability. In this role, you will design, build, and optimize core platform features, shape how developers interact with the platform, and create the reference integrations, examples, and tools that help our developers bring physical AI to life.
What you'll be doing:
Build and develop new Robotics Platform runtime features, optimizations, tooling, and developer-facing APIs — with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability.
Create clear, comprehensive, and AI agent-ready reference applications, benchmarks, skills, and tutorials showcasing platform capabilities in real-world robotics scenarios.
Develop integrations with simulation tools for software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing workflows.
Develop features and tooling for performance optimization, observability, and debugging of robotics applications.
Optimize the platform to best leverage NVIDIA's hardware for sensor I/O processing and physical AI.
