NVIDIA is seeking a senior or principal engineer specializing in robotics systems to join the Generalist Embodied Agent Research (GEAR) group. This team is focused on Project GR00T, which aims to develop foundation models and technology for humanoid robots. The role involves working with a collaborative research team on multimodal foundation models and large-scale robot learning. The engineer will contribute significantly to research projects and product roadmaps.

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of full-time industry experience in robotics hardware or software full-stack.
• Hands-on experience with deploying and debugging neural network models on robotic hardware.
• Ability to implement real-time control algorithms, teleoperation stack, and sensor fusion.
• Proficiency in languages such as Python, Rust, C++, and experience with robotics frameworks and physics simulation.
• Experience in maintaining and troubleshooting robotic systems, including mechanical, electrical, and software components.
• Ability to physically work on-site at NVIDIA HQ on all business days.

• Design and maintain teleoperation software for controlling humanoid robots with low latency and high precision.
• Develop and optimize the control stack, including locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body control algorithms.
• Deploy and evaluate neural network models in physics simulation and on real humanoid hardware.
• Implement tools and processes for regular robot maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting to ensure system reliability.
• Monitor teleoperators at the lab and develop quality assurance workflows to ensure high-quality data collection.
• Collaborate with researchers on model training, data processing, and the full MLOps lifecycle.

• 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.
