We are in the midst of a revolution where artificial intelligence is helping us accelerate all aspects of our lives. NVIDIA's mission is to accelerate this revolution. By combining NVIDIA's strengths in simulation (Omniverse), world models (Cosmos), foundation models (GR00T), and compute, we strive to bring general intelligence to humanoid robots. The Isaac team is looking for a robotics foundation model expert to help with this revolution. In this role, you will be working on imbuing humanoid robots with natural language intelligence, semantic understanding, and geometric awareness. Come join us push the boundaries of robotics and enable the next generation of robotics! * Conduct applied research and design innovative algorithms in the space of geometric computer vision and image/video/vision-language/vision-centric foundation models. * Deploy algorithms on real humanoid robots to gauge sim-to-real transfer of models. * Work hand-in-hand across multiple engineering and research teams to enable foundation models on humanoid robots. * Constantly learn and explore unfamiliar technologies. * Masters in Computer Science, Robotics, Deep Learning, or other related fields (or equivalent experience). * 5+ years of algorithm development/research experience relevant work/research experience in one or many of the following areas: Vision-language models, Foundation Models, 3D-LLMs, Video generative models and diffusion algorithms, or Action-based transformers. * Experience in training vision-foundation models including 3D-VLMs, ViT, LLaVA, CLIP, Diffusion, and VLMs. * Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and proficiency in modern software development practices (version control, testing, CI/CD). * Hands-on experience with running algorithms on real-world robotic systems. * Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate efficiently in a cross-functional, distributed team environment. * Proficient in C++ and Python. * You have a thirst and ability to learn and adapt to new technologies. * Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Deep Learning, or other related fields. * Publications in top-tier AI conferences or contributions to open-source projects. * Experience with vision-language-action models.
