Job description
NVIDIA is building the software foundation for the next generation of intelligent robots. We are looking for a Technical Product Marketing Manager, Edge Runtime to define product positioning, develop technically credible messaging, and drive go-to-market programs for technologies that enable developers to build, deploy, and optimize AI-powered robots in production.
This role requires hands-on technical depth in the ROS and edge runtime ecosystem, combined with strong product marketing judgment and developer storytelling. Working across product management, engineering, developer relations, solution architects, business development, worldwide sales, analyst relations, public relations, investor relations, corporate marketing, and ecosystem partners, you will drive developer adoption and market understanding of NVIDIA's robot runtime software portfolio.
What you'll be doing:
• Lead technical product marketing for NVIDIA's edge runtime software portfolio, including NVIDIA Isaac ROS and future runtime technologies.
• Define positioning, messaging, differentiation, go-to-market strategy, and launch plans, with a unified narrative connecting perception, mobility, manipulation, and edge deployment into an end-to-end runtime platform for production robots.
• Drive developer adoption of accelerated robot perception workflows, including sensor processing, AI inference, and visual perception.
• Define positioning and go-to-market programs for robot mobility and navigation workflows, including localization, mapping, and path planning.
• Build awareness and adoption for robot manipulation and autonomy workflows, including motion planning, control based on sensory input, and runtime integration.
• Partner closely with product managers and engineering teams to influence product strategy, roadmap, and developer experience through market and customer insights.
• Lead cross-functional launches and build technical content and assets—including blogs, demos, tutorials, presentations, customer stories, and sales enablement—with developer relations, solution architects, business development, worldwide sales, analyst relations, public relations, investor relations, and corporate marketing.
• Develop market intelligence and strategic partnerships across ROS and ROS 2, robotics middleware, perception, navigation, manipulation, edge AI, embedded computing, open-source communities, system integrators, and the developer ecosystem.
• Represent NVIDIA with developers, customers, partners, analysts, media, and industry leaders at major conferences and events.
What we need to see:
• Master's degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical field. MBA preferred.
• 8+ years of experience in technical product marketing, product marketing, product management, developer marketing, or a related role in robotics software, edge AI, embedded systems, or developer platforms!
• Experience in the ROS or edge runtime ecosystem, including ROS 2, robotics middleware, AI inference, embedded computing, or production robot deployment.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of Linux, Python or C++, containers, APIs, SDKs, and Git-based developer workflows.
• Proven success crafting go-to-market strategy and launches for highly technical software products.
• Ability to translate sophisticated architectures and developer workflows into clear technical content and compelling business value.
• Experience partnering with product management, engineering, developer relations, and field teams across complex product launches.
• Outstanding written, verbal, and presentation abilities for developer, technical, business, and executive audiences.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Hands-on experience building or deploying ROS 2 robotics applications across sensor processing, visual SLAM, mapping, localization, navigation, manipulation, or motion planning!
• Experience with NVIDIA Isaac ROS, CUDA, TensorRT, DeepStream, Nav2, MoveIt 2, or comparable robotics software.
• Background with optimizing AI inference and robotics workloads for embedded or edge environments.
• Experience marketing open-source software, SDKs, APIs, developer tools, or edge AI platforms.
• Published technical content, conference presentations, open-source contributions, or active participation in the robotics developer community.
