Nvidia has announced plans to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) technology center in South Korea, coinciding with CEO Jensen Huang's visit to the country.
According to Yonhap News on June 5, Nvidia recently posted a job listing for a Physical AI Solutions Architect based in Seoul as part of its efforts to set up the AI technology center.
The recruitment focuses on digital twins and robotics. The selected candidates will collaborate with key researchers from universities and joint research institutes on various projects and proof-of-concept tasks related to Physical AI.
The role will support domestic university and corporate research teams in building virtual worlds using Nvidia's Omniverse platform based on OpenUSD, generating synthetic data, simulating robots, and fine-tuning and deploying open humanoid foundation models.
Candidates are required to hold a Ph.D. in a related field and have over five years of practical experience in digital twins and robotics. Academic research achievements and experience in collaboration among academia, industry, and government are preferred qualifications.
The AI technology center will serve as a research and development facility where Nvidia collaborates with local governments, universities, and businesses to develop core technologies and submit papers to international conferences. Similar centers are currently operating in countries like Singapore and the United Kingdom. If established in South Korea, it is expected to become a major global R&D hub.
Previously, Nvidia signed a memorandum of understanding with Hyundai Motor Group and the government, promising to supply 50,000 graphics processing units (GPUs) and establish the AI technology center.
