Job summary

NVIDIA's Isaac‑NuRec team is building neural reconstruction and Real2Sim systems that convert real-world sensor data into high-fidelity, simulation-ready environments for robotics simulation, learning, and deployment. You will own end-to-end pipelines transforming sensor streams into structured assets and environment representations for downstream robotic applications.

The Senior Systems Engineer will build dense 3D reconstruction systems, high-performance simulation workflows, and robotics

Qualifications

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years in robotics systems, 3D vision, simulation, or closely related software engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience with neural 3D reconstruction, mesh/object reconstruction, or deep-learning–based 3D vision.
• Exposure to reinforcement or imitation learning workflows for robotic perception and control.
• Experience with ROS 2 and real-time constraints, plus familiarity with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or MuJoCo.
• Proven ability to drive technical direction or architecture for complex robotics or 3D perception systems, with strong Python and C++ skills and experience shipping production-quality systems.

Responsibilities

• Build end-to-end Real2Sim pipelines ingest multi-modal sensor data (RGB/RGB-D, LiDAR, IMU) and produce high-fidelity scene and object representations for Isaac Sim.
• Develop neural 3D reconstruction systems and related 3D vision components to build digital twins of real-world environments and objects.
• Integrate reconstruction outputs with mapping, localization, and multi-sensor fusion systems for robust perception and navigation.
• Collaborate with ML researchers to integrate, deploy, and optimize workflows to enable training and validation in sim.
• Deploy and optimize reconstruction, data generation, and data augmentation pipelines at scale.
• Optimize, validate, and debug cross-stack systems spanning sensors, models, simulation, and downstream robot policies.
• Instrument and monitor production Real2Sim and reconstruction services, ensuring reliability, performance, and debuggability in large-scale deployments.
