The posting

As a Robotics Software Engineer on the Isaac Applications Team, you will bring together the software and hardware that enable Physical AI robots to operate in the real world. You will build working robotic systems and end-to-end workflows for engineers and AI agents. These workflows connect data, simulation, and real-world deployment to continuously expand and improve robot capabilities.

We’re looking for strong software engineering skills, broad robotics knowledge, and enthusiasm for working hands-on with physical robots when taking ideas into practice. You enjoy understanding how components interact, solving problems across their boundaries, and seeing them come together to deliver new robot capabilities.

What you will be doing:

  • Lead the forefront of Physical AI progress in both simulated and real humanoid robots by building the humanoid reference platform that features NVIDIA's robotics technologies.
  • Build end-to-end workflows to develop, evaluate, and deploy increasingly autonomous and interactive robot capabilities.
  • Extend our platform to new robot embodiments and demonstrate its adaptability through hands-on integration and validation. Address real-world compute, latency, and bandwidth constraints on physical hardware.
  • Collaborate across teams in Shanghai, America, and Europe to connect capabilities and deliver reliable robotic systems.

What we need to see:

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience working on robotics software.
  • Hands-on experience integrating, deploying, and testing software on physical robots, and confidence working directly with hardware when needed.
  • Experience deploying and evaluating learned policies to control physical robots.
  • Broad working knowledge of robotics software, hardware, AI, and agentic systems. We value an understanding of how these components interact within a complete system.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, including tracing issues across software and hardware boundaries. Ability to work independently through ambiguous technical challenges.
  • Interest in designing robotics interfaces for agent-driven operation, with the ability to learn and evaluate new approaches.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

  • Experience integrating humanoid robots or mobile manipulators, from initial bring-up through reliable demonstrations of robot capabilities.
  • Experience diagnosing and resolving system-level challenges across robotics software and hardware.
  • Experience building end-to-end robotics workflows where AI agents perform substantial portions of the work and guide engineers through data collection, training, evaluation, and deployment.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until October 20, 2026.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
