Senior Manager, Embedded Imaging Software

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

9d•$272,000 - $488,750

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Manager to lead the embedded imaging software transformation for its Jetson platform. As robotics shifts from hand-engineered algorithms to learned AI policies, imaging is central to the intelligence loop. The role will define and deliver the imaging software roadmap for a camera stack that provides synchronized, low-latency, model-ready data from sensor to tensor. The manager will coordinate engineers and managers working on camera drivers, image-processing algorithms, streaming frameworks, and developer tools. The team’s work will help customers move from prototype to production and support perception in humanoids and autonomous machines. The role also supports a transition to agentic development workflows and works across imaging research, tuning, Jetson product, hardware, QA, and partner teams.

Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
At least 10 years of relevant software engineering experience, including at least 5 years leading software teams; a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience developing embedded Linux software for systems-on-chip using modern agentic workflows, including device drivers, platform bring-up, and debugging on target hardware.
Technical depth in C, C++, or Rust systems software, with the ability to guide architecture, performance optimization, and system-level debugging.
Proven ability to translate market requirements into software roadmaps and align interdisciplinary, matrixed teams to deliver results.
Hands-on development experience with modern agentic tools, skills, and workflows.

Nice To Haves

Knowledge of embedded camera technologies such as MIPI CSI, GMSL, Camera over Ethernet, V4L2, ISP control, or image quality tuning.
Experience taking edge AI systems from concept to production, especially in robotics.
Experience building agentic skills or AI-assisted workflows that improve engineering efficiency and software quality.
Familiarity with functional-safety development practices such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
Understanding of input requirements and image quality dependencies for VLMs, VLAs, and other perception models.

Responsibilities

Lead delivery of emerging sensing and imaging technologies into the Jetson BSP across drivers, algorithms, frameworks, agents, and skills.
Support the team’s transition to an agentic development workflow to improve execution velocity, transparency, software quality, and system performance.
Translate customer and ecosystem requirements into prioritized capabilities and measurable product outcomes.
Align engineering work across software and partner teams in imaging research, tuning, Jetson product, hardware, and QA to deliver features on a predictable release schedule.
Develop and mentor engineering managers and senior technical leaders, and create growth opportunities for the broader team.
