Senior SDE, Simulation Runtime and Physics Integration

Job description

We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to own the core simulation runtime and physics-engine integration at the heart of our advanced robotics development. This role focuses on building high-performance, production-grade simulation software — integrating and extending modern physics engines, optimizing contact-rich dynamics for speed and fidelity, and turning simulation research into robust, reusable capabilities. You will be the engineering owner of how our simulators actually run, working shoulder-to-shoulder with applied scientists to close the simulation-to-reality gap at scale.

Key job responsibilities - Own the core simulation runtime: integrate, extend, and optimize…
