Senior Robotics Systems Engineer - Neural Reconstruction and Real2Sim Applications

Responsibilities

• Build end‑to‑end Real2Sim pipelines that ingest multi‑modal sensor data (RGB/RGB‑D, LiDAR, IMU) and produce high‑fidelity scene and object representations for Isaac Sim.
• Develop neural 3D reconstruction systems and related 3D vision components to build digital twins of real‑world environments and objects.
• Integrate reconstruction outputs with mapping, localization, and multi‑sensor fusion systems for robust perception and navigation.
• Collaborate with ML researchers to integrate, deploy, and optimize workflows to enable training and validation in sim.
• Deploy and optimize reconstruction, data generation, and data augmentation pipelines at scale.
• Optimize, validate, and debug cross‑stack systems spanning sensors, models, simulation, and downstream robot policies.
• Instrument and monitor production Real2Sim and reconstruction services, ensuring reliability, performance, and debuggability in large‑scale deployments.
• What we need to see:
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years in robotics systems, 3D vision, simulation, or closely related software engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience with neural 3D reconstruction, mesh/object reconstruction, or deep‑learning-based 3D vision.
• Exposure to reinforcement or imitation learning workflows for robotic perception and control.
• Experience with ROS 2 and real‑time constraints, plus familiarity with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or MuJoCo.
• Proven ability to drive technical direction or architecture for complex robotics or 3D perception systems, with strong Python and C++ skills and experience shipping production‑quality systems.
• Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Experience with neural scene representations (NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting, occupancy networks).
• Experience with object reconstruction and sim‑ready asset generation pipelines (for example, mesh extraction, material and collision setup, USD export).
• Familiarity with multi‑sensor fusion, sim‑to‑real transfer, and data augmentation workflows.
• Experience building or integrating agentic frameworks, including LLM/VLM‑based task planners, tool‑use pipelines, or multi‑step reasoning systems.
• Contributions to robotics or 3D vision open source, or publications at venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ICRA, RSS, or CoRL.
• Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits .
• Applications for this job will be accepted at least until June 28, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
• NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
