## About the Role

+ PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

 + 8+ years of experience working on computer vision, robotics, or deep learning technologies.

 + Strong foundation in 3D geometric computer vision: multi-view geometry, visual odometry/SLAM, structure-from-motion, or dense correspondence (optical flow, scene flow, stereo).

 + Strong hands-on programming skills in Python and/or C++; experience with Deep Learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).

 + Experience training and evaluating deep learning models for perception tasks; familiarity with vision-language models is a strong plus.

 + Strong skills in agentic tool use - proficiency working with AI coding agents and agentic workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to accelerate development, testing, and experimentation.

 + Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

 + Contributions to widely used SLAM, SfM, or 3D reconstruction systems (open source or shipped products).

 + Experience with large-scale model training on GPU clusters, including VLMs or other foundation models.

 + Publications at top computer vision or robotics venues (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL).

 + Hands-on experience with simulation-based training and evaluation, sim-to-real and real-to-sim transfer.

## Description

+ Work closely with the Cosmos and GR00T teams on perception and spatial understanding for foundation models and collaborate with other Isaac teams including Sim/Lab, Platform and SQA to deploy, validate, extend and release capabilities & features on physical robots as well as in at-scale simulations.

 + Contribute to the effective integration, validation, and release of applied research efforts in collaboration with research teams and on top of NVIDIA's advanced robotics platforms.

 + Foster a culture of innovation and collaboration, supporting deliverables such as prototypes, open source software contributions, patents, and publications.

 + Collaborate cross-functionally with product, hardware, and software teams to translate engineering work into impactful products.
