Details

At NVIDIA, we’re pushing the boundaries of AI, robotics, and accelerated computing. We are seeking a Robotics Developer Relations Manager with deep technical expertise to partner with leading researchers and engineers in AI and robotics. In this role you will use knowledge of simulation technologies and robot learning to build strong technical relationships with research teams and help accelerate robotics application development and commercialization.

Responsibilities

  • Act as a technical advisor, collaborating with partner engineering teams on architecture, integration, and code for Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, and AI-enabled robotics solutions.
  • Build and maintain deep expertise in NVIDIA robotics SDKs, with a focus on simulation and robot learning.
  • Track emerging trends in the robotics ecosystem to identify new research and commercialization opportunities.
  • Co-design and deliver advanced robotic solutions with partners—defining objectives, architecture, milestones, and implementation plans.
  • Create technical enablement resources such as sample code, reference architectures, integration guides, and workshops.
  • Lead technical workshops, code reviews, and architectural design sessions with partners and internal teams.
  • Work closely with partner engineering leaders and decision-makers to identify challenges, recommend solutions, and drive adoption of NVIDIA robotics technology.
  • Represent partner needs internally, providing feedback to NVIDIA product and engineering teams to influence roadmaps.
  • Support product launches and go-to-market activities with technical validation, demos, and customer-facing materials.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in the technology industry, with at least 5 years in hands-on software development or engineering.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Whole software development lifecycle experience — from requirements and design to testing, integration, and support.
  • Technical background in at least one of: robot foundation models, simulation, synthetic data, robot perception, reinforcement learning, or imitation learning.
  • Expertise with robotics simulation tools (examples listed: Gazebo, MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Robot Studio).
  • Experience leading technical workshops, code reviews, and architectural design sessions.
  • Strong communication skills for both technical and executive audiences and the ability to structure and deliver complex technical engagements.

Ways to Stand Out (Preferred)

  • Experience with NVIDIA tools and libraries (CUDA-X, Isaac Sim, OpenUSD, Cosmos).
  • Recent hands-on experience with robot simulation tools.
  • Knowledge of AIOps, cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes, Docker, and monitoring tools.
  • Proven success growing developer ecosystems through technical enablement.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary ranges (location- and level-dependent):
    • Level 4: 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD
    • Level 5: 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD
