Job summary

TD SYNNEX is seeking a senior robotics engineer with a strong RL mindset to design, simulate, and deploy intelligent robotic behaviors. You will build high-fidelity simulation environments, generate synthetic data, and develop policies that transfer from sim to real hardware.

You will work with NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and OpenUSD, shaping curricula, rewards, and evaluation benchmarks while collaborating with robotics, controls, and perception teams.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in robotics, RL, simulation, or applied ML.
• Hands-on experience training robotic agents in simulation or on hardware.
• Strong background in RL, imitation learning, or learning-based control.
• Experience building simulation environments in GPU-accelerated platforms (Omniverse/Isaac Sim).
• Experience generating synthetic data for model training, including sensor simulation.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain high-fidelity, physics-accurate simulation environments for training and testing robotic systems.
• Generate synthetic datasets at scale with annotations such as segmentation and depth.
• Design and run RL and imitation learning pipelines using simulation data.
• Train and tune policies for control, planning, navigation, and manipulation.
• Drive sim-to-real transfer through domain randomization and validation on hardware.
