What you'll do

  • Deploy Isaac Sim runtimes within GPU-aware NVCF containers for physics, sensor, and rendering validation.
  • Architect scalable execution layers for runtime behavior-based testing and automated pass/fail grading.
  • Develop an AI-based pipeline to intercept failures and trigger automated asset remediation.
  • Scale execution from single-workstation validation to massive, multi-GPU cloud environments.
  • Optimize performance by addressing function-to-function networking, gRPC bottlenecks, and in-cluster proxy behavior.
  • Automate the generation of verification videos, thumbnails, feature-level reports, and validation metadata.
  • Establish CI/CD pipelines with logging, metrics, and tracing for production-ready observability.
  • Implement atomic update semantics and safe failure handling to prevent corruption of the primary asset library.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of professional experience working on DevOps and/or cloud simulation.
  • Extensive experience in production-grade DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering with a focus on GPU-backed cloud services.
  • Proven expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker) and CI/CD pipeline development.
  • Proficiency in Python and systems scripting for test orchestration and pipeline automation.
  • Ability to design and maintain distributed job lifecycle services and diagnose distributed network bottlenecks like gRPC.
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks involving AI/ML inference, computer vision, or rule-based validation (preferred).
  • Direct experience with NVCF, DGX Cloud, Isaac Sim, Omniverse, USD, or robotics simulation (preferred).
