Senior Software Engineer, Visual SLAM

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer - VSLAM to integrate, evaluate and productize robotics technologies. For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics.

With our invention of the GPU we also set the stage for advances in the field of medical research, computer vision and artificial intelligence.

Today NVIDIA is at the groundbreaking level to innovate in robotics and intelligent autonomous machines. There has never been a more exciting time to join our company and team.

The team around Isaac AMR is building a robotics platform for developing the next generation of intelligent and autonomous robots.

Isaac is binding together high-fidelity visual and physical simulation, a high-quality developing platform, hundreds of optimized algorithms to tackle hard problems in computer vision and artificial intelligence, and a small and powerful computational platform to form the brain of intelligent machines.

Our team consists of experts from all over the world and dozens of different fields, and together we want to change the way robots are programmed.

In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Refine and optimize existing VSLAM algorithms for efficiency and robustness, ensuring readiness for real-world deployment.
• Conduct extensive testing and validation of the VSLAM system both in simulation environments and on actual robotic hardware.
• Develop and implement automated evaluation pipelines to supervise and benchmark the algorithm’s performance over time.
• Collaborate closely with the navigation team and QA for flawless integration of the VSLAM system.
• Provide documentation and training to support teams and end-users, ensuring smooth operation and maintenance of the system.

What We Need To See

• BS or MS or equivalent experience in Robotics, Computer Science or related field
• 8+ years of experience in deploying VSLAM or similar algorithms in a production environment (deployment, validation, tooling)
• Proficient in C++ and Python
• Have a robotics generalist attitude, i.e. ability to work across robotics disciplines with little supervision
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with other teams and groups
• You have a thirst and ability to learn and adapt to new technologies

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Exposure to mobile robotics, autonomous vehicles or similar
• Experience developing tooling for evaluation of VSLAM pipelines
• Background with developing cloud-based map distribution solutions
• Experience with GPU programming and parallel computing for real-time systems.
