NVIDIA Isaac develops tools to bring accelerated computing to robotics scientists and developers. We are looking for a self-motivated, hard-working, and innovative internship candidate to assist us in developing novel approaches to solve one of the hardest problems in robotics: spatial intelligence on humanoid robots. In particular, this internship will examine how recent advances in real-time scene understanding, neural, and optimization-based reconstruction can be applied to robotic manipulation. The anticipated results of this internship will be technical contributions to real-time GPU-accelerated spatial intelligence tools deployed on robot manipulators.
You will join NVIDIAโs Robotics Software team in Zurich, Switzerland, and work on real-time scene understanding and 3D reconstruction for robots. You will collaborate with the Isaac 3D perception team to develop GPU-accelerated tools and deploy them in simulation and on real robot hardware. The role requires on-site presence in our Zurich office.
