We are seeking a 3D Technical Artist/Creative Technologist to be the expert responsible for onboarding new robots to the AirGen and GRID platforms, customizing implementations to specific use cases, and ensuring our AI-powered autonomous systems perform flawlessly in high-fidelity virtual environments.

Embedded within the Customer Success organization, you will work with customers directly to translate their complex real-world challenges into technical simulation solutions. You will focus on the development of the pipeline for ingesting complex robotic systems into Unreal Engine (AirGen) and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. This role offers a front-seat view of the transformative impact of Physical AI in industry and an opportunity to learn from, and work alongside, a world-class team of AI and robotics pioneers.

Responsibilities

• Robot Onboarding & Optimization: Develop workflows to onboard robotic CAD and high-fidelity models into Unreal Engine (AirGen) and Isaac Sim, ensuring physical accuracy, proper kinematics, and performance optimization for real-time sensor simulation.

• Custom Implementation & Tooling: Develop custom tools and simulation scenarios tailored to specific customer use cases, including sensor modeling (Lidar, Depth, RGB) and drone flight environments.

• Synthetic Data Generation (SDG): Build and develop pipelines for generating high-quality, large-scale synthetic datasets to train computer vision and AI models for autonomous navigation.

• Digital Twins & Data Capture: Develop 3D scanning and photogrammetry workflows to create digital twins of real-world environments and assets for high-fidelity simulation.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Robotics Engineers, Perception Teams, and Simulation Engineers to ensure the visual and physical fidelity of our digital environments matches real-world sensor data.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Fine Arts, Technical Animation, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

• Experience: 5+ years of experience as a Technical Artist/Technical Director/Creative Technologist in gaming, VFX, or industrial simulation.

• Houdini: Strong proficiency in Houdini for procedural environment generation, asset processing, and simulation workflows.

• USD Expertise: Deep understanding of Universal Scene Description (USD) for multi-tool pipelines, specifically within the NVIDIA Omniverse / Isaac Sim ecosystem.

• Engine Proficiency: Deep expertise in Unreal Engine (Blueprints, Materials, Niagara, Profiling) and/or NVIDIA Isaac Sim.

• Technical Literacy: Strong understanding of PBR workflows, lighting, and real-time rendering constraints.

• Capture Experience: Experience with 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and studio photography for asset creation.

• Python Proficiency: Ability to write scripts to automate tasks within DCC tools and simulation environments.

• Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows operating system proficiency.

• Security and Privacy focused mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

• Azure Cloud Infrastructure: Knowledge of Azure for cloud-based simulation, managing remote compute for rendering, or scaling synthetic data generation pipelines.

• Optitrack & Motion Capture: Experience setting up and operating Optitrack systems for motion capture, including skeletal tracking or rigid body tracking for robotic validation.

• Customer-Facing Experience: A courteous and professional demeanor with experience working closely with customers to translate requirements into deliverables.

• C++ Development: Proficiency in C++ for Unreal Engine (extending classes, performance optimization) or building standalone native tools.

• Advanced AI/CV: Experience with World Models, Gaussian Splatting, or Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs).

• Agentic Workflows: Familiarity with AI-driven automation or agentic behaviors within simulation environments.

• General knowledge of networks and computer infrastructure.

Bonus Skills

• CAD & 3D Printing: Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and 3D printing for rapid prototyping, robot maintenance, or custom sensor mounting.

• Hardware hacking: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, IOT, soldering etc

• Flight Ops: Part 107 Drone Pilot License or significant experience piloting UAVs.

• Robotics API: Experience with ROS/ROS2 or specialized robotics simulators like Mujoco.
