Senior Software Engineer, Humanoid Robotics

About the role

Join NVIDIA's Solution Engineering team that is shaping the future of autonomous machines. Our goal is to build and deploy scalable robotic solutions and enable the next generation of AI robots. Our team is hands-on, passionate about practical results, and values diversity.

Responsibilities

• Build and drive the application architecture internally, with a focus on humanoid robotics, by collaborating closely with architecture and software development teams.
• Scale the deployment and integration of robust and performant implementations of new technologies spanning whole body controller and manipulation algorithms into solutions and products.
• Integrate hardware and software components efficiently and develop scalable software solutions.
• Lead profiling, benchmarking and evaluation activities for verification.
• Provide deep technical guidance and strategies to resolve functional and system performance issues, working with internal and external partner teams.
• Collaborate with our global engineering teams in our US, APAC, and Europe locations to deploy the solution to our customers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of work related experience in software development related to robotics.
• Bachelors, Masters or equivalent experience in computer science, robotics, computer engineering, or a related field.
• Proven track record in developing software products in the domains of machine learning and reinforcement learning, and hands-on physical robot experience, and/or publishing in robotics conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IROS, NeurIPS, etc.).
• Established proficiency in application development and scalability for autonomous machines, and familiarity with robotics or automotive related middleware frameworks.
• Experience with robot simulation platforms and simulation-based reinforcement learning for training and validation of robotic systems, with hands-on experience on sim-to-real transfer of RL policies being a plus.
• Proficient in Python and C/C++, with experience in GPU programming or CUDA being a strong plus.
• Capable of adapting quickly to new technologies and platforms.
• Able to adapt in a fast-paced development lifecycle and multi-functional organizations.

Qualifications
