We are in the midst of a revolution where artificial intelligence is helping us accelerate all aspects of our lives. NVIDIA's mission is to accelerate this revolution. By combining NVIDIA's strengths in simulation (Omniverse), world models (Cosmos), foundation models (GR00T), and compute, we strive to bring general intelligence to robots.

NVIDIA is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Robotics Neural Reconstruction & Real2Sim Applications team within the Isaac Engineering org! You will lead a group of world-class robotics software and applied research engineers focused on advancing robotics real2Sim technologies and applications for creating digital twins and their workflows at scale, shaping the future of physical AI!

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of robotics software and applied research engineers focused on robotics Neural Reconstruction & Real2Sim Applications.

  • Drive the definition, planning, and execution of projects involving 3D reconstruction, Digital twin creation, and robot simulation & validation tools.

  • Guide the team in advancing Real2Sim and its integration in robot learning developments.

  • Hands-on design, implementation, and deployment of novel algorithms for Neural Reconstruction, Real2Sim and their real-world applications & validation.

  • Collaborate & support other Isaac teams including Sim/Lab, Platform and SQA to deploy, validate, extend and release the capabilities & features on physical robots as well as on at-scale simulations.

  • Ensure effective integration, validation and releases of applied research efforts in collaboration with research teams and on top of NVIDIA's advanced robotics platforms.
