Senior Software Engineer, Agentic Robotics Infrastructure
Job description
Join NVIDIA's Isaac Applications Engineering team and help build the platform for Physical AI robots — assembling the full robotics stack and proving it out on real hardware, from simulation through deployment. This role owns a question that runs through all of it: is our software ready to be used by agents? That means the coding agents we build with, the agents our customers will use to build on our stack, and the embedded agents running on the robot itself. You'll design for it, build for it, test for it, and build the infrastructure that keeps it true as the stack evolves.
Job responsibilities
- Design for it. Shape APIs, error surfaces, tooling, and documentation so that agents can build with our robotics stack as effectively as human engineers — across multiple products and neighboring teams.
- Build for it. Create agent skills and automated workflows that teams adopt in their own repos, and support embedded agents on the robot (code-as-policy and related approaches) where latency, safety, and determinism…
- Test for it. Run and integrate skill evaluations so agentic workflows are measured, not just deployed, and turn those evaluations into automated checks that catch regressions before they land.
- Build the infrastructure that keeps it true. Own CI/CD across the applications repos — spanning CMake, Bazel, and Python builds — including runners, Docker images, dataset provisioning, nightly builds, and release and…
- Spread what works. Package patterns into docs, templates, and starter kits, then drive adoption — running the conversations with teams and following through until a practice is live in more than one repo.
