Senior DevOps Engineer, Cloud Simulation Infrastructure - CA, Santa Clara, United States
$184,000 - $287,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 17 July 2026 by the employer.
Deploy Isaac Sim runtimes and multi-GPU validation pipelines on NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF).
About the role
You will own the complete end-to-end cloud execution pipeline for SimReady assets, transitioning validation from local workstations to high-scale automated execution on NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF). The role involves deploying a multi-GPU pipeline supporting structural validation, runtime behavioral testing, and automated asset remediation.
What you'll do
- Deploy full Isaac Sim runtimes within GPU-aware NVCF containers, managing container packaging, GPU initialization, and runtime utilities. - Deploy services to validate USD structure and compliance, alongside scalable execution layers for runtime behavior-based testing. - Develop an AI-based pipeline that intercepts validation failures, triggers automated asset fixes, and re-validates results. - Scale validation workflows across multi-GPU cloud environments while resolving function-to-function networking, gRPC bottlenecks, and in-cluster proxy behavior. - Establish CI/CD, cluster verification, logging, metrics, and tracing pipelines to ensure cloud services are observable and production-ready. - Implement atomic update semantics and safe failure handling to protect asset libraries from corruption during validation.
What you'll need
- 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. - Experience in production-grade DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering focused on GPU-backed cloud services. - Expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker) and CI/CD pipeline development. - Proficiency in Python and systems scripting for test orchestration and pipeline automation. - Experience with automated testing frameworks involving AI/ML inference, computer vision, or rule-based validation. - Experience designing and maintaining distributed job lifecycle services and diagnosing distributed network bottlenecks including gRPC.
