NVIDIA is at the forefront of the AI and robotics revolution, and NVIDIA’s robotics teams are on a mission to build the essential technology that can enable any company to become a robotics company. The Seattle Robotics Lab is uniquely positioned at the intersection of open academic research and real-world industry impact, pursuing fundamental and applied robotics research across the full robotics stack, including perception, planning, control, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, simulation, and robotics foundation models. This research aims to transform research paradigms, transfer into NVIDIA’s robotics and simulation products, and create new robotics markets for the world.

The Seattle Robotics Lab has published over 500 research papers, including many influential works that have been presented at top robotics, AI, and computer vision conferences.

What you'd do

  • Developing algorithms, foundation models, and methods for robotic manipulation and/or loco-manipulation, for industrial, scientific, and household applications
  • Integrating these methods into real-world robotic manipulation systems, including those consisting of collaborative robot arms, industrial robot arms, mobile manipulators, humanoids, and dexterous hands
  • Contributing to multi-person research projects that require a diverse set of skills across the robotics and machine learning stack
  • Engaging with the academic community through high-impact publications, conferences, workshops, and/or code releases
  • Developing AI agents to accelerate research and engineering while ensuring correctness, reproducibility, and security.
  • Enrolled in a PhD program in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Knowledge of both the theory and practice of robotics and AI, with a strong interest in connecting your work to real-world robotics applications
  • A demonstrated track record, with first-author work published in top robotics and AI conferences and journals such as RSS, CoRL, ICRA, IJRR, T-RO, Science Robotics, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and EMNLP
  • Exceptional communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with significant experience working on a team
  • Exceptional programming skills in Python; in addition, familiarity with C++, CUDA, and Warp is a plus
