As part of Accenture’s ambition “To reinvent industries,” the Next Gen Robotics Team operates at the forefront as a spearhead for groundbreaking robotics solutions. We combine Accenture’s global strength and reach with the latest breakthroughs in Physical AI and robotics—with a focus on the intersection of technology, industry, and society.

You Are:

In global and highly ambitious team, you will develop scalable robotics solutions—from AMRs and autonomous drones to quadrupedal robots, humanoid systems, and AI-powered service platforms. Our goal: to make real industrial applications more efficient, safer, more economical—and smarter.

You work on the most pressing technology and industry challenges—in direct collaboration with experts in engineering, AI, and strategy. In an environment that encourages responsibility and takes learning seriously, you develop further with every challenge. You benefit from structured mentoring, open feedback, and projects that combine technical excellence with entrepreneurial impact.

The Work:

• Technical leadership of robotics innovation projects, including architecture design, implementation, and integration for global industrial clients.

• Development of scalable Physical AI architectures with a focus on autonomy, VLA model integration, real-time systems, and scalable simulation using NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, and Cosmos world models.

• Management of interdisciplinary delivery teams (3–10 people) across PoC, pilot, and production rollout phases.

• Execution of technology benchmarks, venture screenings, and establishment of robust demo and test setups.

• Close coordination with clients, partners, and Accenture industry units—from roadmap creation to productive implementation.

• Active contribution to the Next-Gen Robotics strategy: tech roadmaps, partner development, and internal enablement initiatives.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here’s What You Need:

• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in robotics, consulting, or software projects with a strong technical focus

• Minimum of 3 years of experience with classical robotics technologies: ROS/ROS2, motion planning, sensor fusion, and simulation environments

• Minimum of 3 years of experience software development with Python, C++, and Linux based operating systems

• Minimum of 2 years of experience leading a technical workstream (i.e. as an architect, engineer or integrative tech generalist in interdisciplinary teams)

• Minimum of 1 year of experience with edge AI deployment for robotics (i.e. NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, GPU-enabled devices and cloud deployment environments)

• Bachelor's degree in robotics, computer science (or related) or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)

Bonus Points If:

• Hands-on experience with Physical AI and foundation model technologies: working knowledge of VLA architectures (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac GR00T, π0, OpenVLA), robot policy fine-tuning, imitation learning, and sim-to-real transfer pipelines

• Experience with synthetic data generation and world models (NVIDIA Cosmos, Genesis, MuJoCo MJX) for scalable robot training at scale

• Experience with modern robotics technology – Humanoids, polyfunctional robots, robotics hands, etc.

• Experience with software engineering best practices, including clean code, Git, CI/CD, design patterns, and software architecture
