NVIDIA is seeking a Software Manager to lead its Robotics Platform Engineering team in China, based in Shanghai, with a focus on humanoid robotics and embodied AI.

In this role, you will lead teams responsible for robotics platform software, system integration, reference platform development, platform bring-up, validation, and deployment. You will work closely with NVIDIA's global robotics teams to develop and deliver reference platforms that enable embodied AI systems to be deployed at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Build and lead NVIDIA's Robotics Platform Engineering team in China, based in Shanghai.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop outstanding engineering talent, including technical leads and senior engineers.
• Define the technical strategy, organizational priorities, and execution roadmap for next-generation robotics reference platforms.
• Drive end-to-end system integration across robotics software stacks, including perception, control, foundation models, learning-based policies, runtime systems, and cloud-connected services.
• Lead platform bring-up and validation across compute modules, cameras, sensors, networking, safety systems, and robotic subsystems.
• Define scalable reference platform architectures that can be adopted across multiple robot vendors, form factors, and deployment scenarios.
• Partner closely with AI, simulation, hardware, product, platform, and ecosystem teams to align roadmaps and execution.
• Work directly with strategic robotics partners and customers to accelerate platform adoption and real-world deployment.

Requirements:

• MS or PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ overall years of experience developing robotics, embedded, platform, distributed, or systems software.
• 3+ years of engineering management experience leading software or systems engineering teams and running complex programs across multiple functions.
• Strong understanding of robotics system architecture, platform software, and hardware and software integration.
• Experience bringing up and deploying complex robotic systems on physical hardware.
• Strong understanding of Linux systems, embedded software, distributed computing, and real-time systems.
• Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Ability to influence decisions and align collaborators across global organizations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building and shipping humanoid robotic systems and reference platforms adopted by customers, partners, or ecosystem developers.
• Experience deploying foundation models, embodied AI models, or reinforcement learning policies on physical robots.
• Experience leading globally distributed engineering teams across multiple sites and regions.
• Strong background in perception, sensor integration, performance optimization, and system validation.
• Experience defining platform strategy across multiple hardware generations and product roadmaps.
