Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain simulation environments in NVIDIA Isaac Sim to support multiple robot platforms and use cases

Develop reusable simulation tooling, assets, and workflows that accelerate robotics development across teams

Model robots, sensors, environments, and task dynamics with sufficient fidelity to inform real-world deployment

Integrate simulation with autonomy stacks, perception systems, and testing pipelines

Own simulation infrastructure end-to-end, including:

Compute, storage, and orchestration for running simulations

CI / automated testing hooks for simulation-based validation

Data logging, replay, and analysis pipelines

Collaborate closely with robotics, autonomy, and operations teams to ensure simulation reflects real-world constraints and failure modes

Debug simulation/real-world mismatches and iterate quickly to close the gap

Utilize real-world data to generic digital twin layouts (real-to-sim) for testing and development

Establish best practices for simulation usage, versioning, and validation as the company scales

Qualification
