NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It's a unique legacy of innovation that's fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
As a Senior Content Pipeline Engineer, you will drive the design and productization of content and data pipelines, SDKs, and APIs that power next-generation experiences for our platforms (physical AI, robotics, SDG, etc.), and partners. You will operate across multiple teams and initiatives, helping transform technology into robust, developer-friendly solutions used at scale.
What you'll be doing:- Lead and coordinate multiple engineering initiatives and workstreams related to content pipelines, tools, and runtime integration.
- Architect, implement, and productize SDKs, APIs, Blueprints, and reference pipelines to make complex workflows reliable, scalable, and easy for external developers to adopt.
- Collaborate closely with internal product, platform, and research teams to translate prototype technology into production-quality developer offerings.
- Work directly with Product Managers, Developer Relations, and Solution Architects to understand external partner and customer requirements and feed them into the roadmap.
- Define technical standards and documentation for content ingestion, transformation, validation, and deployment.
- Build high-quality, maintainable software with a focus on performance, adaptability, and observability in production environments.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, guiding design reviews, code reviews, and planning.
- Drive project execution end-to-end: requirements gathering, scoping, planning, risk management, and cross-team alignment.
- Partner with robotics and simulation teams (where applicable) to ensure pipelines meet real-time, safety, and reliability requirements for robotic systems.
What we need to see:- B.S. (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of professional software development experience in production environments.
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, USD, validated experience building robust libraries, tools, or SDKs.
- Experience crafting and shipping software systems, ideally involving data or content pipelines, asset workflows, or engine/tooling integration.
- Experience coordinating work across teams, with strong project management skills (planning, prioritization, execution tracking).
- Track record of working with external team members (partners, customers, or developers) to capture requirements and deliver solutions that meet real-world needs.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:- Background in robotics, simulation, or real-time systems (e.g., experience with robotic software stacks, sim-to-real workflows, or NVIDIA robotics platforms like Jetson or Isaac).
- Experience building and productizing content or data pipelines for game engines, 3D tools, or digital twins.
- Familiarity with NVIDIA SDKs, APIs, or developer tools, and prior collaboration with DevRel or solutions engineering teams.
- Experience leading engineering teams or large multi-stakeholder initiatives in a senior or tech-lead capacity.
