What is the difference between Intern Robotic Simulation Engineer vs Intern Robotics Software Developer?

AspectIntern Robotic Simulation EngineerIntern Robotics Software Developer
Required CredentialsRelevant coursework in robotics, programming, or engineering; basic knowledge of simulation toolsComputer science or software engineering background; programming skills in C++, Python
Work EnvironmentRobotics labs, simulation platforms, research projectsSoftware development teams, coding environments, testing platforms
Industry UsageRobotics companies, research institutions, automation firmsTech companies, startups, research labs

Both roles involve programming and technical skills, but the Intern Robotic Simulation Engineer focuses on creating and testing robotic simulations, while the Intern Robotics Software Developer emphasizes developing software applications for robotics. The choice depends on whether you prefer working with simulation tools or software coding in robotics projects.

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.
