Job description

NVIDIA's Robotics Platform is seeking a software engineer to contribute to the development of advanced robotics systems. The role focuses on building and optimizing core platform features that enhance the interaction between developers and the platform. You will work on creating reference applications and tools that demonstrate the capabilities of physical AI in real-world scenarios. This position requires collaboration within a fast-paced environment to drive innovation in robotics technology.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on systems software, robotics, or developer tooling.
  • Strong C++ and Python skills, with the ability to work across both application and platform layers of a software stack.
  • Familiarity with robotics concepts including sensor pipelines, real-time execution, and robot application architectures.
  • Proficiency using agentic AI tools to accelerate software development.

Responsibilities

  • Build and develop new Robotics Platform runtime features, optimizations, tooling, and developer-facing APIs.
  • Create clear, comprehensive, and AI agent-ready reference applications, benchmarks, skills, and tutorials.
  • Develop integrations with simulation tools for software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing workflows.
  • Develop features and tooling for performance optimization, observability, and debugging of robotics applications.
  • Optimize the platform to best leverage NVIDIA's hardware for sensor I/O processing and physical AI.

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.
