Robotics Software Intern - Sim-to-Real

Job Description

As a Robotics Software Intern on the Isaac Applications Team, you will help build the platform for Physical AI robots — enabling sim-first development, real-world deployment, and continuous learning to make them smarter over time. The ideal candidate will have strong software engineering skills for (soft) realtime robotics applications and real-world experience with multi-body robots, such as humanoids or quadrupeds.

What you'll be doing:

• Bring the latest advancements in Physical AI to simulated and real humanoid robots by building the humanoid reference platform showcasing the power of NVIDIA's technology.
• Collaborate across team boundaries to integrate NVIDIA robotics products such as Thor and Isaac Sim / Isaac Lab into one solution for humanoid robots.
• Opportunity to work in a professional software development team in a corporate environment.

What we need to see:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field (Ms or PhD).
• Proficiency in C++ and Python programming languages.
• Experience with simulated and real robots.
• Knowledge of common tools and libraries for robotics and learning (i.e. pytorch, Cuda, ROS2, physics simulators like Isaac Sim and MuJoCo).
• Academic classes or coursework in machine learning, control and robotics systems.
• Deployment experience on robots (sim2real).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Previous internships or hands-on experience with robotic systems in a commercial or academic setting.
• Experience with NVIDIA robotics tools (Isaac Lab, Isaac ROS) and hardware (Jetson platform).
• Experience with humanoid robots.
