NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of Physical AI systems for humanoid robots. This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, focusing on building generative AI workflows that encompass simulation, real-world deployment, and continuous learning. The engineer will set the technical direction for the team and ensure the successful integration of NVIDIA products into cohesive robotics solutions. The position requires a strong background in robotics software engineering and the ability to mentor junior engineers.

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years of robotics software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production-quality systems.
• Proven ability to own technical direction by setting strategy, building consensus, and driving momentum across competing priorities.
• Deep experience building and deploying full-stack robotics software for AI-powered robots from architecture through implementation.
• Hands-on experience with generative AI workflows in robotics or Physical AI contexts.
• Strong Python and C++ skills with familiarity in CUDA and robotics middleware.
• Experience in robot learning including reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and sim-to-real transfer.
• Ability to influence teams across multiple functions without formal authority and communicate effectively with engineers, leadership, and partners.

• Set the technical approach for building generative AI workflows for Physical AI robotics.
• Define priorities and resolve architectural trade-offs for a small team.
• Build the humanoid reference platform from architecture through deployment.
• Integrate NVIDIA products like Jetson Thor, Isaac GR00T, and Isaac Lab into cohesive solutions.
• Engage with select external partners on technical collaboration.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers without any formal management responsibility.

• 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.
