Lead Robotics Simulation Engineer RL & Real-World Transfer

General Intuition; New York (NY); On-site; USD 170,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

General Intuition seeks a Senior Simulation Engineer to advance control and environments for robotics. You will train low-level controllers in simulation and build realistic environments for training reinforcement learning policies that transfer to real robots.

You will own both the physics and how controllers integrate with larger models, bridging simulation and real-world robotic systems. This role is in-person across our New York, Geneva, or Zurich offices.

Qualifications

• 6+ years hands-on exposure to robot learning in simulation with RL.
• Strong fundamentals in reinforcement learning and sim-to-real transfer.
• Bridge between simulation and real-world robotic systems.
• Experience building simulation engines and environments from scratch.
• Ability to lead simulation teams while staying hands-on and writing code.
• Experience across solver, low-level controller, and high-level policies.

Responsibilities

• Own physics up to how controllers plug into models.
• Train low-level controllers for robots in simulation with RL.
• Build realistic environments for training and evaluation.
