Simulation Infrastructure

Department: Engineering & Research

Location: Bay Area

Employment Type: FullTime

What You’ll Do

• Build core simulation-centered infrastructure for robotics model development, evaluation, and iteration.

• Design scalable systems for creating, running, and managing diverse simulation workloads across tasks, environments, and robots.

• Develop reusable environment frameworks, task interfaces, and tooling that make simulation workflows more reliable and observable.

• Work with the policy training team to bridge the sim-to-real gap

• Develop a real-to-sim pipeline in collaboration with the asset generation team

• Collaborate with a team of driven individuals committed to building general-purpose Physical AI

What You’ll Bring

• Passion for your craft and demonstrated excellence in physics simulation engineering

• Exceptional ownership and initiative: finding and solving problems independently

• Extensive experience in physics simulation, with a preference for expertise in rigid body simulation and FEM

• Insights and requests from a robotic researcher/engineer’s perspective for improving user experience

• Proficiency in CUDA and GPU programming

Bonus Points

• Built closed-loop or log-replay evaluation at scale.

• Experience with robotics simulation tools such as genesis-world, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Newton, Drake, Gazebo, or similar platforms.

• Experience with synthetic data, scene generation, asset pipelines, sim-to-real, or robotics benchmarks.

• Experience with robot manipulation, mobile manipulation, humanoids, or embodied AI systems.
