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 - 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
