Tips : Provide a summary of the role, what success in the position looks like, and how this role fits into the organization overall.
Responsibilities
- Architect and lead the design of complex simulation environments in Isaac Sim, and other industry-standard platforms.
- Own the simulation testing strategy — design comprehensive experiment frameworks to validate robot behavior, stress-test edge cases, and ensure production readiness.
- 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.
