Software Engineer Intern, Robotics - 2027

Job description

As a Software Engineer intern on the NVIDIA Isaac projects, you will help build the platform for Physical AI robots — enabling sim-first development, real-world deployment, and continuous learning to make them smarter over time. The ideal candidate will have strong software engineering skills for real-time robotics applications and real-world experience with multi-body robots, such as humanoids and surgical robots.

What You Will Be Doing

Bring the latest advancements in Physical AI to simulated and real robots by building the runtime framework and healthcare industrial workflows, showcasing the power of NVIDIA's technology. Collaborate across team boundaries to integrate NVIDIA robotics products such as Jetson Thor, Isaac GR00T, Holoscan, and Isaac Sim/Lab into the solution for robots. Take on a variety of challenges, bridging between research and commercial environments.

Deploy and test the developed software on real robots.

What we need to see

Master's degree or above in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Skilled at robotic policy development workflow, from lab to launch: teleoperation, synthetic data generation, domain randomization, VLA and RL post-training, sim2real transfer, deployment with edge AI platforms. Familiar with popular VLA and RL algorithms, co-working with robotics researchers to design robotic policy for specific tasks, especially healthcare scenes.

Proven experience in designing and building robotics software stacks. Proficiency in Python, C++, PyTorch. Willingness to learn new languages and tools as needed. Ability to adapt to fast-paced development lifecycles, multi-functional organizations, new technologies and platforms. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to determine the best approach to complex challenges. Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working effectively with diverse teams.

Ways to Stand out from The Crowd

Familiarity with NVIDIA robotics products such as Jetson, Isaac GR00T, Cosmos, Isaac for healthcare, and Isaac Sim/Lab. Experience with VLA / Reinforcement Learning. Experience with healthcare robots, humanoid robots, and surgery robots. With highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to outstanding growth, our special engineering teams are growing fast.
