Robotics Simulation Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer to lead the development of high-fidelity simulation environments for industrial robotic manipulators. You'll architect simulation systems that validate robot motion planning, collision avoidance, and cycle time optimization before deployment to production manufacturing lines. This role bridges the gap between virtual validation and real-world industrial automation.

Responsibilities

• Architect and lead the design of complex simulation environments for robotic manipulators in Isaac Sim and other industry-standard platforms, with focus on accurate kinematics, dynamics, and gripper / end-effector interactions.
• Develop and validate motion planning algorithms, trajectory optimization, and path planning strategies for multi-axis industrial robots in simulated manufacturing cells.
• Own the simulation testing strategy — design comprehensive experiment frameworks to validate manipulator behavior across varying payloads, reach envelopes, and cycle time requirements.
• Create digital twins of industrial workcells including robot arms, fixtures, conveyors, and sensors to enable virtual commissioning and offline programming.
• Drive automation initiatives — build and maintain robust testing pipelines, integrate simulation seamlessly into CI / CD workflows, and establish best practices for the team.
• Establish documentation standards and create technical specifications that enable knowledge sharing across engineering teams.
