Senior Manager, Embedded Imaging Software

Details

Robotics needs reliable visual perception to reason and act. As robotics evolves from hand-engineered algorithms to learned AI policies, imaging is becoming central to the end-to-end intelligence loop. This role will help develop a camera stack that delivers synchronized, low-latency, model-ready data from sensor to tensor for NVIDIA's Jetson platform.

The Senior Software Manager will lead the imaging software roadmap and coordinate engineers and managers building camera drivers, image-processing algorithms, streaming frameworks, and developer tools. The team will help customers move from prototype to production and support perception for humanoid robots and autonomous machines.

Responsibilities

• Lead delivery of emerging sensing and imaging technologies into the Jetson BSP across drivers, algorithms, frameworks, agents, and skills.
• Support a team transitioning to an agentic development workflow to improve execution velocity, transparency, software quality, and system performance.
• Translate customer and ecosystem requirements into prioritized capabilities and measurable product outcomes.
• Align engineering efforts between software and partner teams in imaging research, tuning, Jetson product, hardware, and QA to ship features into releases on a predictable schedule.
• Develop and mentor engineering managers and senior technical leaders while creating growth opportunities for the broader team.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• More than 10 years of relevant software engineering experience, including more than 5 years leading software teams, along with a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience developing embedded Linux software for systems-on-chip with modern agentic workflows, including device drivers, platform bring-up, and debugging on target hardware.
• Technical depth in C, C++, or Rust systems software, with the ability to guide architecture, performance optimization, and system-level debugging.
• Proven ability to translate market requirements into software roadmaps and align interdisciplinary, matrixed teams to deliver results.
• Hands-on development experience with modern agentic tools, skills, and workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of embedded camera technologies such as MIPI CSI, GMSL, Camera over Ethernet, V4L2, ISP control, or image quality tuning.
• Experience taking edge AI systems from concept to production, especially in robotics.
• Experience building agentic skills or AI-assisted workflows that improve engineering efficiency and software quality.
• Familiarity with functional-safety development practices such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
• Understanding of input requirements and image-quality dependencies for VLMs, VLAs, and other perception models.

Compensation And Benefits

• Base salary range of USD 272,000–431,250 for Level 4.
• Base salary range of USD 320,000–488,750 for Level 5.
• Eligibility for equity and benefits.
• Applications will be accepted at least until September 6, 2026.
• This posting is for an existing vacancy.
• NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive work environment.
