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 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 Thor and Isaac Sim into one solution for humanoid robots.

• Spearhead efforts at NVIDIA's Shanghai offices, collaborating with team members in America and Europe.

What We Need To See:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of experience in robotics.

• Proven experience in designing and building real-time robotics software stacks, and deployment on real robots.

• Demonstrated success in bringing robotics solutions from lab to launch, with direct involvement in implementation and deployment.

• Proficiency in C++ and Python, knowledgeable in robotics middleware.

• 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 (including English) 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 and Isaac Sim.

• Background with Bazel.

• Experience as a team lead or manager.
