Robotics Companies Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking an exceptional and technically skilled Director to manage NVIDIA's Isaac for Healthcare Engineering initiative. This position entails constructing the platform that will influence how top healthcare robotics companies develop, simulate, train, and deploy next-generation physical AI systems. This is a rare opportunity to create foundational technology at the nexus of physical AI, robotics, and healthcare.

This position entails directing the technical approach, planning, and engineering activities for the Isaac for Healthcare platform. It includes NVIDIA technologies such as Isaac Sim/Lab for simulation and training, Holoscan for on-robot deployment, NVIDIA MedTech Open Models for pretrained medical AI, and synthetic data pipelines. You will collaborate closely with NVIDIA's principal healthcare collaborators, including healthcare robotics companies and MedTech pioneers. You will recognize their primary challenges and design platform features that enable their forthcoming product innovations.

What you'll be doing:

• Platform Leadership: Assume full accountability for the entire engineering strategy and roadmap for Isaac for Healthcare, encompassing simulation environments, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, synthetic data generation, AI policy training, and real-time edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson/IGX embedded platforms.

• Team Building & Development: Recruit, mentor, and grow an extraordinary team of engineers spanning robotics software, simulation, applied AI/ML, systems software, and clinical domain expertise. Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and ownership.

• Partner & Ecosystem Enablement: Function as the lead engineering interface for NVIDIA's core healthcare collaborators (healthcare robotics OEMs and MedTech companies). Transform partner demands into platform features and work together to develop engineering solutions.

• Technical Strategy & Architecture: Define the long-term technical vision for healthcare physical AI development toolchains. Make critical architectural decisions about simulation fidelity, AI model integration, data pipelines, safety validation frameworks, and on-device inference.

• Multi-Functional Collaboration: Interact directly with NVIDIA's Isaac Robotics Engineering and Research teams, Holoscan, MONAI, Omniverse, and Embedded teams to coordinate platform strategy, exchange technological insights, and maintain consistent development of Isaac for Healthcare on NVIDIA's remarkable infrastructure.

• Product Roadmap Influence: Work with product management and business development to build Isaac for Healthcare's go-to-market strategy, developer experience, documentation, and release cadence.

• Represent NVIDIA at healthcare robotics and MedTech conferences, engage with standards organizations, publish technical articles, and uphold NVIDIA's position as the leading platform for healthcare physical AI.

What we need to see:

• 15+ overall years of engineering experience, including 5+ years leading engineering teams in robotics, medical devices, autonomous systems, or AI platform development.

• Consistent track record building and shipping sophisticated software platforms or developer frameworks at scale, ideally spanning simulation, AI/ML, and embedded or real-time systems.

• Deep expertise in one or more of: robot perception and control, physics-based simulation, medical image analysis, medical robotics software, or real-time embedded AI inference.

• Demonstrated ability to hire, grow, and retain senior engineers and engineering managers; experience scaling teams from single-digit to 20+ people.

• Strong multi-functional communication skills - able to engage credibly with research scientists, product managers, clinical collaborators, and C-suite partners.

• Graduate degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related technical field, or equivalent experience.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience at a healthcare robotics company or a medical AI company with a background in physics-based simulation tools..

• Practical experience with NVIDIA platforms such as Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Holoscan, NVIDIA MedTech Open Models, Jetson/IGX, or CUDA-accelerated computing.

• Familiarity with regulatory pathways for AI-enabled medical devices, including FDA SaMD mentorship, IEC 62304, ISO 13485, and IEC 60601.

• Experience developing synthetic data generation (SDG) workflows for robotics or medical imaging applications.

• Publications and patents in healthcare robotics, medical AI, robot learning, or simulation-to-real transfer.

NVIDIA gives you the opportunity to build a platform that will drive the next generation of healthcare robots and AI-integrated medical devices worldwide.
