Senior Product Marketing Manager, Real-to-Sim and Simulation Frameworks - CA, Santa Clara, United States
$184,000 - $287,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 16 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role defines how developers transform real-world data into high-fidelity virtual environments and use simulation to build, train, test, and validate intelligent systems. You will lead the portfolio narrative and go-to-market strategy across real-to-sim workflows, classical and neural simulation frameworks, open Physical AI datasets, and co-simulation.
What you'll do
- Own the global product marketing strategy and go-to-market for NVIDIA's real-to-sim and simulation frameworks portfolio.
- Drive messaging and go-to-market across real-world data capture, neural reconstruction, digital twins, open Physical AI datasets, classical and neural simulation frameworks, co-simulation, and closed-loop testing.
- Build a cohesive developer narrative spanning capture, reconstruction, scene creation, simulation, training, testing, validation, and continuous improvement.
- Define the co-simulation story for connecting physics engines, neural world models, sensor simulation, autonomous-system software, and third-party simulation tools.
- Partner with product management, engineering, and research to influence portfolio strategy, roadmap priorities, platform integration, developer experience, and requirements.
- Drive developer adoption through reference architectures, technical content, demonstrations, workshops, sample workflows, and open frameworks.
What you'll need
- Master's degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field.
- 12+ years of experience in product marketing, technical product marketing, product management, or developer relations.
- Strong technical foundation in simulation, computer graphics, physics, AI, robotics, or autonomous systems.
- Experience with real-to-sim pipelines, neural reconstruction, digital twins, sensor simulation, physics engines, neural world models, and co-simulation architectures.
- Experience developing go-to-market strategies for technical platforms, frameworks, SDKs, APIs, or open-source technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to build a unified market narrative across multiple technologies, development stages, and engineering audiences.
