Senior Software Engineer, Spatial Intelligence and Foundation Models

What you'll do

• Design, implement, and deploy novel algorithms for SLAM, structure-from-motion, and object reconstruction.
• Develop robust perception, mapping, and reasoning systems for robots and large-scale data pipelines.
• Combine classical multi-view geometry and optimization with modern deep learning approaches.
• Train and evaluate vision-language models on spatial reasoning skills relevant to robotics.
• Integrate and validate applied research efforts onto NVIDIA's advanced robotics platforms.
• Deploy and validate perception features on physical robots and in at-scale simulations.
• Translate engineering work into impactful products by collaborating with product and hardware teams.

What we're looking for

• PhD or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of experience working on computer vision, robotics, or deep learning technologies.
• Strong foundation in 3D geometric computer vision including multi-view geometry, visual odometry/SLAM, structure-from-motion, or dense correspondence.
• Strong hands-on programming skills in Python and/or C++.
• Experience with Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
• Experience training and evaluating deep learning models for perception tasks.
• Proficiency working with AI coding agents and agentic workflows (preferred).
• Experience with large-scale model training on GPU clusters, including VLMs or other foundation models (preferred).
