Job Summary
Simulation Engineer on the Sim team to shape how a humanoid robot learns to perceive, plan, and act. You will author evaluation scenes in Isaac Lab/Isaac Sim, run sim-to-real comparison experiments, contribute to the CAD-to-simulation pipeline (kinematic graphs, collision geometry, mass and inertia), maintain canonical robot models and validation tooling, improve developer experience with documentation and CI, and help onboard new engineers so they get productive quickly.
Required Qualifications
- 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (strong internship or research project experience qualifies)
- Strong Python skills
- Solid fundamentals: rigid body dynamics, linear algebra, spatial math, programming
- Coursework or project experience with robotics simulation, computational geometry, or computer graphics
- Demonstrated curiosity and willingness to work across multiple domains rather than specializing immediately
- Hands-on experience with Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or equivalent simulator (coursework or projects count)
- Familiarity with USD, URDF, MJCF, or other robot/scene description formats
- Exposure to mechanical engineering, robot hardware, or sim-to-real workflows
- Some C++ exposure
- Internship or research experience in robotics, gaming, or graphics
- BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field. MS welcome but not
