Modeling and Simulation Engineer

We are looking to recruit an exceptional Modeling & Simulation Engineer to work on our robot models, environment models, and simulation pipeline.

• Define simulation requirements
• Develop performant, cutting-edge mathematical models of robots, manipulators and the scenes in which they operate
• Strike the perfect balance between fidelity and computational complexity
• Integrate simulation-based assessment into CI/CD pipelines in a way that scales
• Make simulation an indispensable part of our entire design, development and deployment process

You will be working closely with the Simulation, Motion Planning & Controls, Field Operations and Intelligence teams.

• MS or PhD in engineering, mathematics, computer science or a related discipline
• Experience in mathematical modeling of complex dynamic systems
• Ability to take ownership of a large, strategically important development project and drive its success
• Willingness to step in and support other teams when we have tight deadlines and problems to solve

• Familiarity with environments for robotic simulation including Isaac Sim
• Experience in some combination of: applied optimization modeling of mechanical contact creation of detailed 3D world models GPU acceleration of physics simulations deployment of numerically-intensive simulations to cloud compute platforms integration of simulation tests into CI/CD pipelines creation of simulation test cases from real-world data simulation for HiL testing
