TL;DR · Developer Relations Manager, Federal Government

NVIDIA seeks an experienced Developer Relations Manager to lead technical engagement within the U.S. defense autonomy ecosystem, focusing on ISVs, primes, and emerging drone manufacturers advancing autonomous aerial platforms and counter-UAS systems. This role involves deep interaction with engineering teams to define edge inference, coordination among multiple agents in contested airspace, and simulation environments for training and validation. Key responsibilities include promoting NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack, embedding with partners to integrate Jetson Thor and Orin into flight-ready autonomy pipelines, and delivering reference architectures and production-grade workflows optimized for SWaP-constrained airframes. Ideal candidates have extensive experience in robotics, onboard autonomy, or flight software, along with a track record of influencing partner roadmaps and delivering autonomy stacks on DoD timelines.

What you'll do

  • Build deep technical expertise in autonomous drone mission workloads.
  • Embed with partners to integrate NVIDIA’s software stack into flight-ready autonomy pipelines.
  • Lead partner engineering teams through onboarding and integration processes.
  • Identify new opportunities in defense autonomy ecosystems for NVIDIA technologies.
  • Engage senior technical leaders to tackle complex architectural challenges.
  • Run workshops and hands-on programs to onboard engineers to the NVIDIA stack.
  • Support development of AI blueprints and reference builds for autonomous systems.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace/Controls, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 15+ years industry experience, including 7+ years hands-on in robotics, autonomy, flight software, perception, or edge AI.
  • Proven technical depth in GPU-accelerated autonomy software: CUDA, TensorRT, Isaac ROS / ROS 2, Holoscan, DeepStream.
  • Experience architecting real-time perception and planning stacks for SWaP-constrained airborne platforms.
  • History of leading developer programs with defense ISVs, primes, or venture-backed autonomy companies.
  • Strong ability to translate between engineering depth and senior-executive strategy in program offices and mission owners.
