Job description
from Nvidia careersNVIDIA's Robotics Platform delivers an end-to-end software and hardware solution driving the future of Physical AI. It supports training foundation models on DGX infrastructure, validating robot behavior through Isaac Sim, and deploying intelligence on robots at the edge via Jetson Thor. As intelligent machines move from labs into factories, hospitals, and warehouses, the Robotics Platform team builds the base software that enables this shift. They fuse simulation, accelerated compute, and real-world deployment into a single development process for robotics developers around the world.
In this role, you will lead the development, crafting, and refinement of core platform features. You will influence how developers engage with the platform. You will also build reference integrations, examples, and tools that support developers in bringing physical AI to life. As a lead, you will guide technical work across the Robotics Platform stack and coordinate efforts between our team and other NVIDIA partner teams.
What You Will Be Doing:
Lead the development of new Robotics Platform runtime features, optimizations, tooling, and developer-facing APIs — with a strong emphasis on performance and reliability.
Build clear, comprehensive, and AI agent-ready reference applications, benchmarks, skills, and tutorials showcasing platform capabilities in real-world robotics scenarios.
Optimize the platform to best leverage NVIDIA's hardware for sensor I/O processing and physical AI.
