NVIDIA is seeking research scientists to join the Seattle Robotics Lab, which focuses on advancing robotics technology through fundamental and applied research. The team is dedicated to developing algorithms and methods for robotic manipulation and loco-manipulation, targeting both industrial and household applications. This role involves collaboration with product managers and engineering teams to integrate research into NVIDIA products. Candidates should have a strong research background and be prepared to engage with the academic community.

• Completing a PhD in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• A strong research track record with publications in top robotics and AI conferences and journals.
• Exceptional programming skills in Python and proficiency in modern deep learning frameworks.
• Experience with robotics frameworks and physics simulation frameworks.
• Exceptional communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

• Develop algorithms, models, and methods for robotic manipulation and loco-manipulation.
• Integrate methods into real-world robotic manipulation systems.
• Contribute to multi-person research projects across the robotics and machine learning stack.
• Engage with the academic community through publications, conferences, and workshops.
• Collaborate with product managers and engineering teams to transfer research into NVIDIA products.
• Mentor interns during their PhD programs.

• 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.
