Senior Software Engineer - Robotics Application

Job Description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to work on embodied AI and robotics simulation projects using Isaac Lab and Mimic.

Requirements

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience in simulation-based reinforcement learning or robotics software.
• Proficient in Python and C++, with experience in GPU programming or CUDA being a strong plus.
• Deep understanding of physics simulation tools (Isaac Gym, Mujoco, Bullet, or similar).
• Experience with motion imitation, pose tracking, or trajectory optimization using tools like Mimic or RL frameworks (e.g., IsaacRL, RLlib, Stable Baselines).
• Proven track record of delivering complex software projects or publishing at top-tier conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, NeurIPS, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable data generation pipelines using Isaac Lab and Omniverse for learning dexterous, high-DOF robotic tasks.
• Extend and optimize NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab/Mimic toolchain for large scale learning from demonstration.
• Collaborate with research scientists on cutting-edge problems such as imitation learning, motion retargeting, manipulation, and loco-manipulation.
• Integrate large-scale, GPU-accelerated training workflows leveraging NVIDIA’s AI and simulation infrastructure.
• Develop modular and reusable environments for benchmark robotic tasks across manipulation, locomotion, and loco-manipulation.
• Contribute to open-source initiatives or publish high-quality research and where appropriate.

Benefits

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
