About the role

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
