Job description

JOB SUMMARY

Few teams get to shape how a humanoid robot learns to perceive, plan, and act - and even fewer let an early-career engineer touch every layer of that stack. As a Simulation Engineer on the Sim team, you'll contribute across dexterity, design simulation, robot description, and platform tooling, applying strong Python skills, a robotics-fundamentals foundation, and a builder's curiosity to make our simulation infrastructure faster, cleaner, and more useful every week.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

  • Author evaluation scenes in Isaac Lab / Isaac Sim from specifications, shortening the loop from "we want to test X" to "X is being tested."
  • Run sim-to-real comparison experiments and produce comparison reports that highlight where simulation diverges from hardware.
  • Contribute to the CAD-to-simulation pipeline - kinematic graphs, collision geometry, mass and inertia properties - so the design org can iterate against simulation faster.
  • Maintain canonical robot models and the validation tooling that protects them from regressions across releases.
  • Improve developer experience on the simulation platform through examples, onboarding documentation, CI infrastructure, and user-issue triage.
  • Bring a fresh-eyes perspective to onboarding documentation so the next engineer joining the team gets productive in days, not weeks.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

Must-Have
  • 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
Nice-to-Have
  • 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

EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE

  • BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field. MS welcome but not

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS 

  • Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
  • Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times
  • Vision to read printed materials and a computer screen
  • Hearing and speech to communicate
