Santa Clara, CA

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 to partner with companies focused on capturing, generating, and curating data for robotics training. In this role, you’ll use your knowledge of simulation technologies and robot learning to build strong technical relationships with these companies as we help them accelerate robotics application development. 

This individual will combine deep technical expertise in AI, robotics, and simulation with strong program management skills to align our product development, research, and engineering teams to drive outcomes that will scale across the ecosystem. The role requires a keen understanding of NVIDIA’s robotics software platforms—such as Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab—to evaluate data opportunities, identify those with the greatest potential, and accelerate their path to market, accelerating physical AI and robotics innovation. 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, including sample code, reference architectures, integration guides, and workshops. 

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

  • Represent partner needs internally and provide 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 interpersonal 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 in growing developer ecosystems through technical enablement.
