  • Coordinate with external partners, such as humanoid robot hardware companies, to align project timelines, deliverables, and integration efforts.
  • Collaborate with product and marketing teams to prepare demos and promotional materials for tradeshows and GTC.
  • Manage the purchase and maintenance of lab equipment, ensuring all necessary hardware is available and functioning optimally. Work with facilities crew to address operational issues for a safe and efficient lab environment.
  • Monitor GPU cluster health, communicate new feature needs, and track critical bug reports with the infrastructure teams and make sure they are resolved.
  • Ensure all project documentation and FAQs are up-to-date and accessible to relevant collaborators.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for all Project GR00T-related inquiries, from both internal interest groups or external partners and customers.

What we need to see:
  • Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with at least 6+ years of relevant experience as an engineer.
  • 5+ years of proven experience as a Program Manager or similar role, preferably in AI, robotics, software, or a related technical field.
  • Highly detailed with strong multi-tasking skills. You'll need to be able to handle 10+ project threads simultaneously and ensure successful milestones.
  • Excellent communication and technical presentation skills.
  • Adaptability to drive a fast-paced and dynamic work environment in the highly competitive AI research landscape.
  • Fluency in English and Mandarin (verbal and written) to allow clear and concise communication with domestic and international partner companies.
  • This role is based in NVIDIA HQ (Santa Clara, CA), and requires the ability to come to the lab in person.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Strong technical background with an undergraduate-level understanding of AI, machine learning, and robotics concepts.
  • Hands-on coding experience. Familiarity with Python and related ML/AI frameworks.
  • Prior experience in working across geographies and time zones.
