Senior Developer Relations Manager - Robotics

At NVIDIA, we’re pushing the boundaries of AI, robotics, and accelerated computing to transform industries and improve lives. We’re looking for a Robotics Developer Relations Manager with deep technical expertise to partner with leading researchers and engineers at the forefront of AI and robotics. In this role, you’ll use your knowledge of simulation technologies and robot learning to build strong technical relationships with strategic partners, helping them accelerate their robotics application development. 

The ideal candidate is highly technical, quick to adapt to changing priorities, and skilled at guiding architecture and implementation plans. You’ll collaborate closely with product and engineering teams and engage confidently with executives both within NVIDIA and across our partner network. If you’re a self-starter who thrives in dynamic environments and delivers results, we’d love to hear from you! 

What you’ll be doing:  

• Act as a technical advisor, collaborating with partner engineering teams on architecture, integration, and code for Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, and AI-enabled robotics solutions.  

• Build and maintain deep expertise in NVIDIA robotics SDKs, with a focus on simulation and robot learning.  

• Track emerging trends in the robotics ecosystem to identify new opportunities.  

• Co-design and deliver advanced robotic solutions with partners—defining objectives, architecture, milestones, and implementation plans.  

• Create technical enablement resources such as sample code, reference architectures, integration guides, and workshops.  

• Work closely with partner engineering leaders and decision-makers to identify challenges, recommend solutions, and drive adoption of NVIDIA robotic technology.  

• Represent partner needs internally, providing feedback to NVIDIA’s product and engineering teams to influence future roadmaps.  

• Support product launches and go-to-market activities with technical validation, demos, and customer-facing materials. 

What we need to see:  

• 10+ years in the technology industry, with at least 5 years in hands-on software development or engineering.  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

• Whole software development lifecycle experience—from requirements and design to testing, integration, and support.  

• Technical background in at least one of: robot foundation models, simulation, synthetic data, robot perception, reinforcement learning, or imitation learning.  

• Expertise with robotics simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Robot Studio). 

• Experience leading technical workshops, code reviews, and architectural design sessions.  

• Strong communication skills for technical and executive audiences.  

• Ability to structure and deliver complex technical engagements. 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:  

• Experience with NVIDIA tools and libraries (CUDA-X, Isaac Sim, OpenUSD, Cosmos).  

• Recent hands-on experience with robot simulation tools.  

• Knowledge of AIOps, cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes, Docker, and monitoring tools.  

• Proven success growing developer ecosystems through technical enablement. 

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. If you're a creative and autonomous professional with a genuine passion for technology, we want to hear from you!
