Senior Robotics Systems Engineer — Sim-to-Real

Job description

We are looking for a senior technical leader to own the engineering loop between physical robots and simulation. You will determine why simulated and real behavior differ, build the systems needed to measure and model that difference, and drive the work until it improves robot performance for our partners and the broader robotics developer community.

This is a hands-on individual-contributor leadership role, not a people-management position. You will set direction, write production software, build and run physical experiments, and lead multi-functional contributors through technical influence rather than formal reporting lines.

Job responsibilities

  • Own DevTech's sim-to-real and real-to-sim function: experiment design, instrumentation, data capture, system identification, model integration, and validation on hardware.
  • Build production-quality C++ and Python software for measurement, modeling, simulation, benchmarking, and regression testing.
  • Establish quantitative metrics and experiments that isolate the causes of simulation error and show whether a change materially improved the real system.
  • Turn evidence from partner robots into reusable workflows and improvements for NVIDIA's robotics and simulation platforms.
  • Lead contributors across disciplines without formal authority, create clarity, and remain accountable through integration and sustained use.
