About this role
Talaria Platform is seeking high-caliber Contractor Software Engineers to join the NVIDIA Robotics Lab's Robotics Foundation Models team. This role focuses on bridging frontier research with production-grade engineering, specializing in areas such as fullstack development, model optimization, AI infrastructure, and data quality automation.
Responsibilities:
- Architect and scale high-performance dashboards to visualize high-dimensional robotics metrics, fleet telemetry, and research experiment data
- Design and develop features in Python and TypeScript to stream complex robotics models outputs to web applications
- Build resilient APIs and manage complex database migrations to ensure data integrity for massive datasets
- Partner with researchers to profile and optimize model training and inference performance across distributed GPU clusters
- Implement strategies for cross-modality transfer, image encoding, and tokenization efficiency
- Develop low-level performance profiling to maximize GPU utilization and training throughput
- Design and maintain high-throughput developer tools and automated frameworks specifically for training and evaluating robotics foundation models
- Create workflows (Spark, Ray, GCP) to download and preprocess petabyte-scale image, text, and robotics sensor data
- Develop comprehensive test frameworks (API, integration, UI) to ensure research workflows are 100% reproducible
- Design and implement automated annotation pipelines to label massive robotics datasets with minimal human intervention
- Build sophisticated tools to evaluate data quality and diversity, identifying 'gaps' in training data that affect model performance
- Develop automated QC (Quality Control) systems to filter noise and ensure the high-fidelity data required for humanoid robot learning
Requirements:
- BS in Computer Science, Mathematics, Robotics, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of developing and maintaining production-grade software at scale
- Expert Python
- Proficiency in at least one: TypeScript/React, Go, or C++
- Proven track record with modern CI/CD, unit/integration testing, and version control
- Experience with Spark, Ray, or data versioning tools at the petabyte scale
- Hands-on experience with robotics learning
