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.

Ways to Stand out from The Crowd:

• Familiarity with NVIDIA robotics products such as Jetson, Isaac Gr00t, Isaac ROS and Isaac Sim/Lab.

• Experience with Machine Learning / Reinforcement Learning.

• Experience with Bazel.
