The main difference between a Manager Physics Simulation and a Physics Engineer lies in their focus and responsibilities. Managers oversee teams, project timelines, and strategic planning, while Physics Engineers focus on technical development, simulations, and problem-solving. Both roles require strong physics knowledge, but managers emphasize leadership and coordination, whereas engineers concentrate on technical execution.

Job description

JOB SUMMARY

Apollo doesn't get to do useful work until we can simulate every environment we want to deploy it in - and that pipeline is yours to build. As Senior Simulation Engineer for Scan2Sim & Asset Library, you'll own the path from real-world site walkthroughs and object captures to high-fidelity simulation scenes, applying expertise in 3D content pipelines, scene description formats, and physics-asset modeling to scale Apollo into new factories, warehouses, and homes. 

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Ship an end-to-end environment capture pipeline that turns real-world site walkthroughs into high-fidelity simulation scenes, with collision proxy geometry that keeps depth sensors and LiDAR behaving correctly.
  • Build a manipulable-object asset pipeline that turns customer parts, tools, and household objects into curated simulation assets with grounded mass, inertia, and friction properties.
  • Define and operate the asset ingestion path into our managed asset store, including authoring tools, validation, versioning, and metadata schemas for scenes and objects.
  • Drive physical fidelity of scene and object assets - collision geometry, contact properties, and material parameters - in close partnership with the Simulation Infrastructure team.
  • Establish object-library curation and tagging conventions that scale as the Apollo deployment surface grows.
  • Partner with Perception, ML Ops, and the Deployment / Field Engineering teams to onboard new customer sites into simulation faster than the next site arrives.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern C++
  • Hands-on experience with a 3D content pipeline (Blender, Maya, Houdini, or equivalent)
  • Working knowledge of modern scene description and physics-asset formats (OpenUSD, URDF, MJCF) and the geometric/inertial subtleties that make or break sim-to-real transfer
  • Experience with at least one major physics simulator
  • Experience with neural reconstruction (Gaussian splatting, NeRF), photogrammetry, or 3D capture pipelines
  • Familiarity with collision geometry optimization for manipulation tasks (e.g., convex decomposition)

EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, robotics simulation, 3D pipelines, or related fields

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
