Senior Manager, Embedded Imaging Software

NVIDIA•Us, CA

About The Position

As robotics evolves from hand-engineered algorithms to learned AI policies, imaging becomes a central part of the end-to-end intelligence loop. This shift calls for a new camera stack that delivers synchronized, low-latency, model-ready data from sensor to tensor. As a Senior Software Manager at NVIDIA, you’ll lead this transformation for our Jetson platform. You’ll define and deliver our imaging software roadmap while coordinating engineers and managers building camera drivers, image-processing algorithms, streaming frameworks, and developer tools. Together, we’ll help customers move from prototype to production and shape how the next generation of humanoids and autonomous machines perceives the world. Come build the eyes of physical AI!
