Resumo da oferta

Datamentors seeks an experienced robotics simulation engineer to own and advance the simulation platform. You will build and maintain high-fidelity environments in MuJoCo and Isaac Sim, forming the core of our training and evaluation pipelines across multiple sectors including hospitality, healthcare, and energy.

You will convert real deployment environments into sim-ready scenes, drive domain randomisation, and measure the sim-to-real gap to ensure reliability.

Qualificações

• 5+ years robotics simulation experience in MuJoCo and Isaac Sim.
• Strong Python and data pipeline skills for simulations.
• Experience converting real environments into sim-ready training scenes.
• Knowledge of rigid-body physics and contact models.
• Experience with sim-to-real methodology and domain randomisation.

Responsabilidades

• Build and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments in MuJoCo and Isaac Sim for platform-wide robotics simulations.
• Create sim-ready environments matching deployment sectors (hospitality, healthcare, defence, energy, sports).
• Drive domain randomisation pipelines: lighting, object placement, friction, noise, physics effects.
• Define and own the sim-to-real gap measurement framework to assess trust in simulations.
• Integrate simulation with VLA training/evaluation pipelines and collaborate with 3D designers on assets.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

Datamentors is building the next generation of autonomous robotics through a combination of advanced AI, robotics, and proprietary Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Our mission is to create intelligent robotic systems capable of understanding natural language, reasoning about the world, and acting autonomously in complex environments.

We are assembling a world-class engineering team to tackle some of the hardest challenges in robotics, AI, perception, and autonomy. The engineers who join us today will have a direct impact on the core technologies that power Ardia and the future of intelligent machines.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Own the simulation pipeline that trains and validates robots across the platform — building sim-ready environments in MuJoCo and Isaac Sim for all the sectors served: hospitality, healthcare, defence, energy and sports. You drive domain randomisation, measure sim-to-real gap and integrate simulation tightly with VLA training pipelines.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments in MuJoCo and Isaac Sim across all robot types on the platform
• Create sim-ready environments matching real deployment sectors: hospitality, healthcare, sports facilities, energy and defence
• Drive domain randomisation pipelines: lighting, object placement, surface friction, sensor noise, clothing physics
• Define and own the sim-to-real gap measurement framework — know when the sim is trustworthy and when it is not
• Integrate simulation with VLA training and evaluation pipelines; partner with 3D Designers on realistic assets

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years robotics simulation with deep hands-on in both MuJoCo and Isaac Sim — both, not just one
• Real experience converting physical environments into sim-ready training scenes
• Strong Python and simulation data pipeline skills; solid understanding of rigid-body physics and contact models
• Experience with sim-to-real methodology: measuring and closing the gap, not just running simulations
• Ability to collaborate with AI, Robotics and 3D teams to make simulation useful for real deployments

Nice to have

• Digital twin methodology for real-world environment capture

WHY JOIN US

• This is a rare opportunity to help design and build the foundational technology for a robotics platform from the ground up
• Relocation support and housing assistance for Madeira-based roles; CINM free-zone benefits
• Small, senior, hands-on team — everyone owns a meaningful slice of the product from day one
