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
