Software QA Test Developer, Robotics - job 1 of 2

We are looking for a SW QA Test Developer for Robotics to join our team! You will be part of a team that drives all Quality and Innovation for the NVIDIA Robotics team. You’ll create test plans, automating as much of your work possible so you can focus on testing the actual robots. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience testing humanoid robots and also understands how to collect and work with data to train the models.

What you'll be doing:

• Write test automation development for “On-Robot Hardware & Software” and embedded software running on our NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor platform encompassing sensor integration validation, real-time performance, and low-level control systems.

• Build and maintain the test infrastructure within our “Simulation & Digital Twins” environments, Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, developing automated tests verifying physics engine accuracy and the transferability of learned policies from simulation to the real robot.

• Write test automation development for the full “Robotics Software Stack”, including Isaac ROS, and its integration with other robotic components.

• Architect, build, and maintain the test infrastructure for a humanoid reference platform showcasing the power of NVIDIA's technology and develop testing methodologies bridging the "sim-to-real" gap, creating a continuous feedback loop between virtual and physical testing.

• You'll lead the design of complex test scenarios in Isaac Sim/Lab that use generative AI to stress-test robot policies, ensuring that models trained in simulation (using Isaac GR00T) perform reliably on real physical hardware.

• Guide crafting intricate test scenarios in Isaac Sim/Lab with generative AI to test robot policies, ensuring simulation-trained models (using Isaac GR00T) function on physical hardware.

What we need to see:

• B.S. or equivalent experience in Mechanical/Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field. Direct work experience on the job in Humanoid Robotics field is equivalent to technical degree.

• 2+ years of Hardware or Robotics engineering experience with 2+ yrs of demonstrable experience focused on Quality Assurance in these areas
