What is the difference between Director Robotics Simulator vs Robotics Engineer?

AspectDirector Robotics SimulatorRobotics Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Computer Science, or related fields; experience in simulation softwareBachelor's or Master's in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields; programming skills
Work EnvironmentLeadership in R&D teams, overseeing simulation projectsDesign, develop, and test robotic systems and simulations
Industry UsageUsed in companies developing advanced robotics and simulation toolsHands-on development and implementation of robotic systems

The Director Robotics Simulator focuses on leading simulation projects and managing teams, requiring strategic oversight and industry experience. In contrast, Robotics Engineers are involved in the technical development and testing of robotic systems. Both roles require strong technical backgrounds, but the Director role emphasizes leadership and project management within the robotics simulation domain.

Job description

ICON is looking for a Robotics Simulation Engineer to join our Software team. As a Robotics Simulation Engineer, you will build and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments that accelerate the development, validation, and certification of ICON's robotic systems. You will be responsible for developing physics-accurate models of ICON's robotic platforms, bridging simulation and hardware to support a "test-as-you-fly" development paradigm, and contributing to shared kinematics and dynamics toolkits used across all ICON programs. This is a full-time, onsite role is based at ICON's Austin, TX headquarters and will report to the Director of Robotics.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Build and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments for ICON's robotic systems.
  • Develop and tune physics-accurate models of ICON's robotic platforms - including kinematics, dynamics, actuator behavior, and material interaction - validated against physical hardware test data.
  • Own the sim-to-real gap: systematically measure and reduce discrepancies between simulation predictions and physical system behavior.
  • Contribute to and maintain shared kinematics and dynamics libraries that are reused across ICON's robotic programs.
  • Integrate simulation environments into CI/CD pipelines to enable automated regression testing of motion planning, control, and safety-critical software components.
  • Collaborate with controls, perception, and mechatronics engineers to ensure simulated sensor models and environmental conditions are sufficient for algorithm validation.
  • Participate in architecture decisions for the simulation layer and its interfaces to the broader software stack.
  • Participate in design and code reviews to maintain consistency and high-quality output.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Master's degree or higher in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in robotic simulation, dynamics modeling, or related robotics software development.
  • Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or a comparable physics simulation platform (e.g., Gazebo, MuJoCo, Webots).
  • Strong foundational understanding of rigid body dynamics, robotic arm kinematics (forward and inverse), and multi-body simulation.
  • Proficiency in modern C++ (17 or newer) and Python within a professional robotics development environment.
  • Experience integrating simulation environments into automated test and CI/CD workflows.
  • Familiarity with robotics frameworks such as ROS 2 and their interaction with simulation backends.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Experience developing and tuning robot models and environments in physics-based simulators.
  • Familiarity with physics-informed modeling, including actuator dynamics, joint compliance, and contact/friction modeling.
  • Experience with sim-to-real transfer techniques and systematic approaches to quantifying and reducing the sim-to-real gap.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset; comfortable making data-driven decisions about model fidelity tradeoffs.
  • Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of performance.
