Job description

NVIDIA is the engine of modern AI, and robotics is where AI meets the physical world. The Isaac robotics platform — spanning Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Isaac ROS, the foundation models behind Isaac GR00T, and the accelerated libraries that run on Jetson and in the data center — is how the world’s developers and industrial leaders build intelligent robots.

We are seeking a dedicated and highly skilled Senior SWQA Test Developer to join our Robotics QA team. In this role, you join a dynamic group responsible for advanced computing systems. They develop and ensure quality for embedded products used in Artificial Intelligence, Retail, Healthcare. You will build, develop, and complete tests to ensure that our embedded software and hardware stack meets the highest standards of quality. Experience using AI tools to automate end-to-end QA workflows is essential, as this capability is central to our digital initiatives. Familiarity with developing, automating, or demonstrating sophisticated AI agents and workflows is also highly desirable. This position will require frequent collaboration with various engineering and release teams across multiple product verticals. Join us at the forefront of the Embedded and AI revolution and help shape the future of intelligent systems. You can read more about it here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-in/industries/robotics/

What you'll be doing:

• Using AI Tools enabling and implementing CI/CD pipelines, adding tests to improve Code Coverage, fixing regression bugs, building/automating workflows/agents.
• Using different approaches to train, re-train and fine-tune different models towards Agents/Workflows Accuracy, Performance & Throughput optimization.
• Develop and implement tests on embedded/GPU based systems and components.
• Build test strategy, detailed, and well-structured test plans and test cases based on high level customer requirement.
• Identify, record, document, and regress internal and external filed bugs.
