Simulation & Sim-to-Real Engineer

Media Stream AI Limited; Manchester; Hybrid; GBP 50.000 - 70.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Media Stream AI Limited in Manchester is seeking an experienced robotics simulation engineer to own and evolve the simulator used for training humanoid models.

You will develop high‑fidelity physics simulations, perform system identification to match hardware, run domain randomisation tests, and scale the simulation infrastructure to support large training campaigns ahead of the Manchester factory opening in Q1 2027.

Qualifikationen

• Experience with physics-based robotics simulation (Isaac, MuJoCo, Gazebo or equivalent).
• Experience in system identification and model validation.
• Experience with large-scale parallel simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Aufgaben

• Build and maintain high-fidelity physics simulation of the humanoid and its environments.
• Own system identification so the model matches measured hardware.
• Run domain randomisation and transfer experiments; quantify the sim-to-real gap.
• Provide the scaled simulation infrastructure the training runs depend on.

Jobbeschreibung

Own the simulator the robot learns in, and the gap between it and the floor it walks on.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and maintain high-fidelity physics simulation of the humanoid and its environments.
• Own system identification so the model matches measured hardware.
• Run domain randomisation and transfer experiments; quantify the sim-to-real gap.
• Provide the scaled simulation infrastructure the training runs depend on.

Requirements:

Physics simulation for robotics (Isaac, MuJoCo, Gazebo or similar); system identification; contact and actuator modelling; large-scale parallel simulation.

Salary:

Salary on application

The Manchester factory comes online Q1 2027. Roles are recruited ahead of that date, with start dates agreed individually.
