TL;DR · Senior Software Engineer, Agentic Robotics Infrastructure

As a Senior Software Engineer, Agentic Robotics Infrastructure on the Isaac Applications Engineering team, you will develop the platform for Physical AI robots by assembling and testing the full robotics stack from simulation through deployment. You will design APIs, tools, and documentation to enable coding agents to build with the robotics stack while creating automated workflows and supporting embedded agents under strict latency and safety constraints. Your daily work involves building infrastructure for CI/CD across multiple repositories using CMake, Bazel, Python, Docker, and Linux. You will also manage skill evaluations, create starter kits, and drive adoption of standardized practices. The role requires expertise in policy training, simulation, and on-robot deployment. Key technical skills include experience with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, LLM-based developer tools, and potentially Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or Jetson hardware.
