NVIDIA Jetson Design Services
NVIDIA Jetson is a family of embedded AI compute modules — from Jetson Orin Nano to AGX Orin — that bring GPU-accelerated machine learning and computer vision to the edge.
Jetson is the choice when a product must run real neural networks locally — multi-camera vision, robotics autonomy, or generative/perception models — at the edge rather than in the cloud. The modules pair Arm CPUs with NVIDIA GPUs and run the same CUDA/TensorRT stack as the data center.
Key product families
Jetson Orin Nano
Entry edge AI (up to ~40 TOPS) for cameras and lighter inference workloads.
Jetson Orin NX
Mid-range performance in a compact module for robotics and multi-stream vision.
Jetson AGX Orin
Up to ~275 TOPS for autonomous machines and heavy multi-sensor perception.
When to choose it
- On-device deep learning, computer vision, or sensor fusion that exceeds an MCU/NPU
- Robotics and autonomous machines needing high TOPS with deterministic latency
- Multiple camera or LiDAR streams processed locally
Typical applications
How Rapid Circuitry designs with NVIDIA
Rapid Circuitry designs custom Jetson carrier boards — power sequencing, high-speed camera (MIPI CSI) and PCIe routing, thermal solutions, and rugged I/O — and integrates the sensors and firmware around the module.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a Jetson instead of a microcontroller?
Use a Jetson when the workload is real deep learning — multi-camera vision, large models, or robotics autonomy — that an MCU or small NPU cannot handle. For keyword spotting, simple anomaly detection or low-rate sensor ML, a microcontroller with TinyML is cheaper and lower power.
What does a Jetson carrier board do?
The Jetson module holds the processor and memory; the carrier board provides the connectors, power, camera and PCIe interfaces, and I/O your product needs. Most products need a custom carrier board designed to their form factor and sensors.
