• Lead technical design reviews and contribute to architecture decisions within the team.

OpenUSD & Data Integration

• Develop and maintain OpenUSD-based asset pipelines, ensuring interoperability between CAD tools and simulation environments.
• Support the management of USD assets, compositions, layers, and variants for large-scale digital twin environments.
• Work closely with 3D artists and asset teams to ensure technical correctness and performance.
• Develop data ingestion and synchronization pipelines connecting digital twins with engineering and operational systems.

Simulation

• Collaborate with automation engineering, production, and logistics teams to digitize and validate factory processes and workflows.
• Support the development of simulation applications used for virtual commissioning, production planning, logistics analysis, process validation, and operational optimization.
• Contribute to defining modeling approaches, assumptions, and validation methodologies for digital twin applications.
• Support the integration of simulation results into business and engineering decision-making processes.
• System Integration and Platform Operation
• Design and support deployment architectures for on-premises digital twin platforms using NVIDIA Omniverse and related technologies.
• Develop integrations with enterprise applications, IIoT platforms, MES, databases, and external APIs.
• Collaborate with IT teams on infrastructure planning, security, deployment, and operational best practices.
• Support containerized deployment strategies and platform scalability.
• Contribute to performance optimization, monitoring, reliability, and maintainability of deployed solutions.

Leadership, Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Connect and collaborate with teams across regions to share best practices and contribute to global standards definition.
• Interface and collaborate with multiple corporate functions to define technical requirements and prepare presentations and reports.
• Contribute to technical documentation, coding standards, architecture guidelines, and team playbooks.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship through design discussions, code reviews, and hands‑on collaboration.
• Stay current with emerging technologies related to digital twins, OpenUSD, industrial software systems, simulation, and AI.
