We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Cloud Simulation Infrastructure Engineer to own the complete end-to-end cloud execution pipeline for SimReady assets!
This role is critical to our product strategy, enabling us to transition from local, workstation-driven validation to high-scale, automated cloud validation on
NVIDIA Cloud Functions(NVCF).
You will be responsible for deploying a robust, multi-GPU pipeline that supports structural validation, AI-driven runtime behavioral testing, and automated asset remediation.
What you'll be doing:
• Deployment: Deploy full Isaac Sim runtimes within GPU-aware
NVCF containers.
Manage container packaging, GPU initialization, and runtime utilities for physics, sensor, and rendering validation.
• Deploy Structural Validation: Deploy services to validate USD structure and compliance without runtime overhead.
• Deploy Runtime Validation: Architect scalable execution layers to conduct runtime behavior-based testing (e.g., drop/grasp tests).
Deploy rule-based systems or AI based systems for automated pass/fail grading.
• Deploy Automated Remediation: Develop an AI-based pipeline that intercepts failures, triggers automated asset fixes, and re-validates results to ensure quality standards.
• Cloud Infrastructure Ownership: Scale execution from single-workstation validation to massive, multi-GPU cloud environments.
Optimize for performance, addressing function-to-function networking, gRPC bottlenecks, and in-cluster proxy behavior.
• Artifact & Evidence Pipeline: Automate the generation of verification videos, thumbnails, feature-level reports, and validation metadata.
Ensure all assets are traceable and linked to quality gates.
• Observability &
CI/CD:Establish robust CI/CD, cluster verification, and monitoring pipelines.
Implement logging, metrics, and tracing to ensure services are observable, debuggable, and production-ready.
• Operational Reliability: Implement atomic update semantics and safe failure handling to ensure validation processes never corrupt the primary asset library.
What we need to see:
• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8
years of professional experience working on DevOps and/or cloud simulation.
• Extensive experience in production-grade DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a focus on GPU-backed cloud services.
• Proven expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker) and
CI/CD pipeline development.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks, preferably involving
AI/ML inference, computer vision, or rule-based validation.
• Proficiency in Python and systems scripting for test orchestration and pipeline automation.
• Strong ability to design and maintain distributed job lifecycle services (submit/poll/fetch/cancel) and handle asynchronous failure states.
• Ability to diagnose and solve distributed network bottlenecks, including gRPC and function-to-function communication.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Direct experience deploying services on
NVCF (NVIDIA Cloud Functions) or DGX Cloud.
• Deep familiarity with Isaac Sim, Omniverse, USD, or Sensor RTX workflows.
• Background in robotics simulation, physical AI, or large-scale content creation pipelines.
• Experience building self-healing
or automated remediation workflows.
• Experience with cluster verification frameworks, stress testing, and deployment validation at scale.
We value different paths to technical excellence and welcome candidates who bring strong judgment, curiosity, and a collaborative approach.
