Robotics Software Intern, Sim2Real Deployment - Fall 2025

Details

NVIDIA’s robotics Isaac is a fast-progressing effort inside the company and will have a decisive impact on the future of the robotics industry, including on humanoid robots. This internship will focus on investigating approaches to large-scale mobile manipulation problems, including synthetic data generation, sim-to-real transfer, foundation models for mobile-manipulation, and task and motion planning. The anticipated results include deep technical insights, novel implementations, and applications to real robot systems.

Responsibilities

• Implement and test robotic software stacks running machine learning policies to control real robotic hardware (humanoids).
• Collaborate with the team to refine machine learning policies for sim-to-real transfer.
• Improve policies and algorithms related to mobility, loco-manipulation, whole-body control, and dexterous manipulation.
• Learn professional software development methodologies in a commercial environment.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing an MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or related fields.
• Experience creating and running robotics control software on physical robots.
• Proficiency in Python and C++ programming.
• Familiarity with robot learning tools and libraries (PyTorch, CUDA, middleware, physics simulation).
• Coursework or academic classes in machine learning, control, and robotics systems.

Ways to Stand Out

• Previous internships or hands-on experience with robotic systems.
• Experience with NVIDIA robotics tools (Isaac Lab, Isaac Gym, Isaac ROS) and Jetson hardware.
• Experience with legged or humanoid robots.
• Experience in sim2real deployment on robots.

Compensation and Benefits

• Internship hourly rates range from 18 USD to 71 USD depending on position, location, year in school, degree, and experience.
• Eligible for NVIDIA Intern benefits.

NVIDIA is committed to diversity and equal opportunity employment.
