Role Description

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

In this role you will:

  • 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
  • Develop efficient simulation test cases that stress the robot and measure performance
  • 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.

    Qualifications

    Must-have:

    • 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

    Nice-to-have:

    • 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
