NVIDIA is looking to build the next generation of embodied AI using Isaac Lab and Mimic to solve large-scale mobile manipulation problems and accelerate breakthroughs in generalizable robot behavior.
Requirements
- Proficient in Python and C++, with experience in GPU programming or CUDA being a strong plus.
- Deep understanding of physics simulation tools (Isaac Gym, Mujoco, Bullet, or similar).
- Experience with motion imitation, pose tracking, or trajectory optimization using tools like Mimic or RL frameworks (e.g., IsaacRL, RLlib, Stable Baselines).
- Experience developing and deploying sim-to-real policies on physical robot hardware.
- Contributions to open-source projects in the robotics, RL, or simulation ecosystems.
- Prior experience working with NVIDIA Isaac Gym/Isaac Sim and the Omniverse platform.
- Familiarity with large foundation models for vision or language, and how they can interface with embodied agents.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable data generation pipelines using Isaac Lab and Omniverse for learning dexterous, high-DOF robotic tasks.
- Extend and optimize NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab/Mimic toolchain for large scale learning from demonstration.
- Collaborate with research scientists on cutting-edge problems such as imitation learning, motion retargeting, manipulation, and loco-manipulation.
- Integrate large-scale, GPU-accelerated training workflows leveraging NVIDIA’s AI and simulation infrastructure.
- Develop modular and reusable environments for benchmark robotic tasks across manipulation, locomotion, and loco-manipulation.
- Contribute to open-source initiatives or publish high-quality research and where appropriate.
Other
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 4+ years of experience in simulation-based reinforcement learning or robotics software.
- Proven track record of delivering complex software projects or publishing at top-tier conferences (RSS, CoRL, ICRA, NeurIPS, etc.).
- If you are creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
- NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
