US chip giant Nvidia is ramping up a talent drive for its robotics team in China, a market whose vendors account for the lion’s share of global shipments.
The Silicon Valley firm is recruiting for more than a dozen roles across Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, according to a post on its official WeChat account on Monday. The positions span four key domains: embodied intelligence, simulation, implementation and solutions.
Nvidia said its robotics team planned to build a “leading robotics platform and ecosystem to help developers and companies create autonomous machines”, with the aim of accelerating the journey of robots from research labs into real-world deployment across various business scenarios.
The hiring push underscores Nvidia’s growing emphasis on physical AI, an emerging field that combines AI models with robotics, enabling machines to perceive, reason and interact with the physical world.
Job descriptions revealed that employees would work around its technologies including the Project GR00T humanoid robot foundation model, the Cosmos physical simulation world model, and the company’s GPU-accelerated computing platforms, consisting of an all-around robotics technology development ecosystem, the company noted in the post.
Positions up for hire included engineers specialising in dexterous manipulation, whole-body control, and experts who would focus on robot learning and AI systems optimisation for humanoid robots.
