Senior Applied Scientist, Robotics Simulation
Job description
We are seeking a Simulation Applied Scientist to advance the state of the art in physics-based simulation for advanced robotics systems. This role blends research and practical engineering to develop novel simulation methodologies that accelerate robot development and reduce the simulation-to-reality gap, translating theoretical advances into real-world impact.
The ideal candidate will work at the intersection of theory and practice, contributing research that directly informs deployed robotic systems. You will join a team that is redefining how robots learn, adapt, and interact with complex, real-world environments.
This role uniquely combines fundamental research with real-world…
Job requirements
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Strong publication record in simulation, robotics, or computer graphics
- Demonstrated ability to advance state of the art through novel research
- Deep expertise in physics-based simulation, including rigid and deformable dynamics, contact mechanics, computational geometry, and numerical methods
- Experience designing and optimizing physics-based simulation systems for high-performance and large-scale computing environments
- Working knowledge of modern physics engines such as MuJoCo, Isaac Lab, Drake, and Newton
- Proven ability to bridge simulation and real-world robotic systems, from modeling and validation through deployment
