The Senior Robotics DevTech Engineer will serve as NVIDIA Omniverse's local technical bridge for the Chinese robotics community, acting as the primary point of contact for partners and translating their needs into actionable guidance for global engineering teams. You will triage the local ecosystem, develop mastery of Isaac workflows (Sim, Lab, and related tools), and create internal playbooks to reduce friction and accelerate partner iteration. The role also involves distilling partner requirements into clear technical briefs, tracking blockers and feature requests, and providing regional market insights to inform product strategy.
We seek a Robotics DevTech Engineer to join our NVIDIA Omniverse team in China. This role serves as the local technical bridge linking the robotics community across China and the global NVIDIA platform team. Function as the primary contact for robotics partners in China, translating technical needs into actionable insights for engineering teams. Your mission: reduce technical friction, build team expertise in Isaac workflows, enable rapid partner iteration, and build the product roadmap with market intelligence from China.
What You Will Be Doing:
Local Ecosystem Triage & Support: First technical point of contact for Chinese robotics companies and research institutions. Conduct technical assessments, resolve integration and debugging issues locally in Mandarin, and build relationships with key partners.
Robotics Workflow Mastery: Develop deep expertise across Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, SimReady, and emerging tools. Build internal playbooks for common use cases (humanoid sim-to-real, AMR navigation, manipulation with RL) that your team can reference.
Link Between Partners & Engineering: Distill partner requirements into clear technical briefs for global OV engineering teams. Track blockers across partners, raise critical issues and feature requests, and enable rapid feedback loops when new capabilities ship.
Regional Insight Generation: Identify emerging trends in China's robotics industry, preferred tech stacks, and localized challenges. Share market intelligence with NVIDIA leadership to inform product strategy.
What We Need To See:
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Minimum 5 years in robotics engineering, simulation, or AI/ML development
Real Robot Experience: Proven hands-on work with robotic systems (manipulators, humanoids, drones)
Proficient Mandarin Chinese & Professional English
Core Technical Skills
Deep hands-on experience with: IsaacSim/Lab or MuJoCo, or Gazebo
Proficiency in Python and C++ for robotics algorithms and performance optimization
ROS/ROS2 and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch)
AI & Control Fundamentals
Reinforcement learning concepts and imitation learning
Robot control, kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory optimization
Synthetic data generation and domain randomization for sim-to-real transfer
Ways To Stand Out from the Crowd:
Multi-domain robotics experience across different robot morphologies and applications
Deep understanding of physics engine tradeoffs (PhysX vs MuJoCo), contact tuning, USD/Omniverse experience building digital twins for robotics simulation
Published research at top robotics conferences (ICRA, IROS, CoRL, ICLR)
Familiarity with the robotics sector in China
Active open-source contributions (ROS, Isaac Lab) with mentoring experience
