NVIDIA is looking for a Software Engineer to join the Isaac Spatial Intelligence team, focusing on geometric and semantic understanding for robotics. The role involves developing perception systems that convert raw sensor data into actionable insights, contributing to the advancement of physical AI. The engineer will work closely with various teams to deploy and validate capabilities on physical robots and in simulations. This position emphasizes innovation, collaboration, and the integration of applied research efforts.

Requirements

  • PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience working on computer vision, robotics, or deep learning technologies.
  • Strong foundation in 3D geometric computer vision including multi-view geometry and SLAM.
  • Strong hands-on programming skills in Python and/or C++ with experience in Deep Learning frameworks.
  • Experience training and evaluating deep learning models for perception tasks.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and deploy novel algorithms for spatial understanding.
  • Develop robust perception, mapping, and reasoning systems for robots and simulations.
  • Advance the state of the art in geometric computer vision using deep learning approaches.
  • Train and evaluate vision-language models relevant to robotics.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate engineering work into impactful products.

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.
