About the job
NVIDIA is seeking a senior or principal engineer to join the Generalist Embodied Agent Research (GEAR) group, focusing on robotics systems. This role is central to Project GR00T, an initiative to build foundation models and full-stack technology for humanoid robots. You will collaborate with a research team known for its influential work in multimodal foundation models, large-scale robot learning, embodied AI, and physics simulation, contributing to impactful research projects and product roadmaps.
Responsibilities
- Design and maintain low-latency, high-precision teleoperation software for humanoid robots.
- Develop and optimize control stack algorithms, including locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body control.
- Deploy and evaluate neural network models on physics simulations and real humanoid hardware.
- Implement tools and processes for robot maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting to ensure reliability.
- Monitor teleoperators and develop quality assurance workflows for high-quality data collection.
- Collaborate with researchers on model training, data processing, and the MLOps lifecycle.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of full-time industry experience in robotics hardware or software full-stack.
- Hands-on experience deploying and debugging neural network models on robotic hardware.
- Ability to implement real-time control algorithms, teleoperation stacks, and sensor fusion.
- Proficiency in Python, Rust, C++.
- Experience with robotics frameworks (ROS) and physics simulation (Gazebo, Mujoco, Isaac, etc.).
- Experience maintaining and troubleshooting robotic systems (mechanical, electrical, software).
