Senior Manager, Interactive World Model Platforms

Details

NVIDIA’s Interactive World-Model Platforms

NVIDIA’s OmniDreams and FlashDreams are the foundation for a new generation of interactive world-model systems. This release sets the standard for fidelity and real-time inference performance, and includes an open weights model release with an associated open source inferencing engine.

Responsibilities

• Scale the engineering team building NVIDIA’s interactive world-model platform across OmniDreams, FlashDreams, AlpaSim technologies.
• Establish the production engineering path for interactive world models in AV, rendering, robotics, and simulation.
• Build the architecture and processes needed to turn fast-paced research into reliable developer-facing software.
• Own product and engineering excellence: performance, scalability, reliability, developer experience, CI/CD, and release management.
• Partner with research, simulation, rendering, and AV teams to translate world-model breakthroughs into production-ready platform capabilities.
• Grow the open developer and research ecosystem around NVIDIA’s world-model stack.

Requirements

• Demonstrated research or applied innovation in world models, video diffusion, neural rendering, Gaussian splatting / NeRFs, neural reconstruction, neural shading, simulation, robotics, or AV.
• Technical fluency in ML primitives behind interactive world models, including diffusion or flow-matching models, autoregressive / causal video generation, self-forcing or causal-forcing style training, Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, and neural reconstruction.
• Demonstrated experience turning research-stage systems into dependable, scalable products.
• 12+ overall years experience, 5+ years leading teams.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• Results-focused leadership: build the process, hit the dates, and hold the quality bar.

Ways to Stand Out

• Experience adopting Gaussian splats, NeRFs, neural reconstruction, neural shading, or other advanced rendering techniques for AV, robotics, simulation, synthetic data, or production rendering workflows.
• Hands-on experience building, adapting, or deeply evaluating world models, video generation systems, neural rendering systems, Gaussian splatting / NeRF pipelines, or neural shading techniques.
• Experience moving from earlier neural rendering approaches (e.g., NeRFs or Gaussian splatting) toward generative world models for interactive simulation, rendering, robotics, or AV.
• Published or peer-recognized work advancing the state of the art in world models, neural rendering, generative simulation, video generation, or production ML infrastructure.
• Experience building developer ecosystems or research communities around open-source projects.

Compensation and Eligibility

• Base salary range (determined based on location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions):
  • Level 4: 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD
  • Level 5: 320,000 USD - 488,750 USD
• You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
