Senior Software Engineer, Robotics - Isaac Lab

Today, NVIDIA is tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, encouraging environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how we can make a lasting impact on the world. We are seeking a software engineer to join the Isaac Lab team and propel our flagship platform for robot learning to new heights. Our mission is to become the industry's leading tool, redefining how autonomous systems are trained and shaping the future of robotics and AI.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop the next features for our platform, such as perception-in-the-loop reinforcement learning, multi-agent and multi-task learning, VLA and RL integration.

• Automate our workflows and scale them massively in the cloud, perform extensive benchmarking and profiling to ensure best-in-class system performance and scalability.

• Collaborate with research and engineering teams all across NVIDIA, such as DEX and GEAR, to enable the next generation of humanoid robots and on sim-to-real efforts, including defining workflows for domain randomization, sensor and actuator modeling, latency considerations, and deployment pipelines.

• Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and contribute to internal and open-source software.

• Engage with the robotics industrial and research communities.

What we need to see:

• BS, MS, or PhD degree in Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

• Extensive experience in software development with Python and the deep-learning software stack (Pytorch, Tensorflow, Jax, etc.).

• 4+ years of experience in robotics and simulation workflows, including reinforcement learning, imitation learning, motion planning, and trajectory optimization.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Prior experience with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Isaac Gym, or Mujoco.

• You have already trained a robot in simulation and deployed the policy sim-to-real.

• Publications in major AI and robotics conferences.

With highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology industry's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working with us and our product lines are growing fast in some of the hottest fields such as virtual reality, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and more.
