Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Build and customize high-fidelity simulation scenes in Isaac Sim that accurately reflect real-world robotic tasks and factory layouts
• Develop synthetic data generation pipelines, including randomized object placement, sensor simulation, and multi-modal annotations
• Implement and maintain data processing workflows to ensure quality, traceability, and compatibility with ML training pipelines
• Optimize simulation performance and realism by tuning physics parameters, asset fidelity, and rendering configurations
• Collaborate with robotics engineers and ML scientists to align simulation outputs with model requirements and support sim2real transfer
• Conduct hands-on testing and debugging to improve model robustness through iterative simulation setups

Requirements

• BS in Robotics, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in the simulation or game industry
• Proficiency with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Omniverse, or similar simulation platforms
• Strong programming skills in Python and C++
• Experience with 3D vision, sensor modeling, and domain randomization techniques
• Experience integrating simulation outputs into ML pipelines for training and evaluation

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS/ROS2, MoveIt, or Nav2
• Experience with other simulation platforms (e.g., MuJoCo, Gazebo) or game engines (e.g., Unreal, Unity)
• Background in industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, or robotic manipulation
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices (e.g., Docker, GitHub, Bazel)
• Publications or contributions in robotics or simulation venues like ICRA, RSS, or CVPR
