Job description

We are looking for a Senior Systems Software Engineer for our Robotics Team working onNVIDIA Isaac ROS. Modern robot development for the next wave of AI-powered physical agents is athree-computer problemleveraging accelerated compute for simulation, training, and edge inference. NVIDIA's ISAAC platform binds together high-fidelity visual and physical simulation, a high-quality development platform, hundreds of optimized algorithms to tackle hard problems in computer vision and artificial intelligence, and a small but powerful computational platform to form the brain of intelligent machines. Our team consists of experts from all over the world and dozens of different fields, and together we want to change the way robots are programmed. We're looking for someone to help energize the ROS ecosystem with accelerated computing to tackle the rigorous real-time demands of deploying complex, learned policy-driven robots.

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead the design & development of software frameworks aimed at helping robots perceive and interact with the world through learned policies

  • Drive improvements with the open-source community to make ROS the de facto standard for robotics development

  • Debug and optimize ROS-based autonomy stacks from application to system-level drivers on NVIDIA platforms

  • Develop innovative ways to characterize and measure robotics software for functionality and performance

  • Collaborate with other teams to incorporate NVIDIA technologies

  • Manage issues during integration, testing, deployment & QA

What we need to see:

  • BS, MS in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent experience)

  • 8+ years of proven experience

  • Expertise with ROS (middleware, ecosystem, development, debugging tools)

  • Experience working in distributed systems and embedded software roles

  • Proficiency with data structures and core algorithms

  • Excellent C, C++ programming and design skills

  • Ability to learn fast & debug complex system issues

  • Flexibility to adapt quickly to varying roles & responsibilities

Ways To Stand Out from the crowd:

  • Engagement as contributor to the ROS framework, tools, or packages

  • Experience training behavior policies using Isaac Lab, Isaac Gym, MuJoCo, or similar

  • Strong grasp of deep learning applications for physical agents

  • Expertise with DDS, UCX, MQTT, or other middleware transport technologies

  • Background with software performance profiling and optimization

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers with some of the most forward-thinking and dedicated people in the world working here. If you want to help make robotics progress in challenging contexts, we want to hear from you!

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.
