Robotics Simulation Engineer

Your Role

• Build, maintain, and extend simulation environments in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse for humanoid robot development.
• Develop and manage OpenUSD sim assets: robot models, tools, workpieces, customer facility environments (shipyards, steel fabrication plants, industrial sites).
• Create and maintain physics-accurate digital twins of customer facilities (shipyards and industrial manufacturing) for behavior validation and deployment planning.
• Integrate all autonomy subsystems (locomotion, manipulation, perception, hands, navigation, welding) to run against Isaac Sim.
• Design and implement behavior-level CI/CD pipelines that automatically validate robot behaviors in simulation.
• Prototype and mock-test robot behaviors (welding, navigation, manipulation) in simulation before hardware integration.
• Develop synthetic data generation pipelines for training perception, manipulation, and navigation models.

We're Looking For

Preferred or Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Lab for reinforcement learning environment setup and training.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Cosmos for synthetic data generation and scene variability.
• Experience with ROS/ROS 2 and Gazebo simulation.
• Experience with Unreal Engine or other real-time rendering engines for robotics visualization.
• Background in manipulation simulation: contact modeling, grasp planning, dexterous multi-fingered hand interaction, and force/torque estimation.
• Experience with motion capture data pipelines and motion retargeting to robot models.
• Exposure to behavior trees, task planning, or autonomy stack architecture.
• Knowledge of Omniverse extensions development and Kit SDK.
