Résumé du poste

Agility Robotics is seeking a senior simulation engineer to help build the foundation of its simulation stack. You will join as a founding member of the Simulation team, shaping architecture and infrastructure and collaborating with AI, Controls, Perception, and Hardware teams.

Role focuses on physics simulation, hardware abstraction, and robot modeling to accelerate development, validate designs, and train policies. Hybrid work options available across US offices.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience in robotics, simulation or an adjacent industry or a PhD in robotics or computer science.
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ and Python.
• Experience with at least one major robotics physics simulator (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or similar).
• Experience building rigid-body robot models (URDF, MJCF, USD, or similar).
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and compute at scale.
• Solid grasp of standard software development practices: Git, CI/CD, Jira or equivalent, feature branching.

Responsabilités

• Design, build, and own core components of Agility’s simulation stack as a founding member of the Simulation team.
• Develop the hardware abstraction layer connecting sensors, actuators, and physical hardware to simulation environments.
• Develop and integrate physics simulators using open-source frameworks, with a focus on fidelity, performance, and sim2real transfer.
• Build and maintain high-fidelity models of new and existing robots, including kinematics, dynamics, mass properties, actuator and transmission models, and contact behavior.
• Build robust automated pipelines from hardware design, to robot model, to system-identification, allowing new hardware designs to rapidly be used in sim.
• Use simulation to train RL policies, generate synthetic data and evaluate end-to-end models.
• Use simulation to evaluate proposed robot designs, running trade studies on actuator sizing, link geometry, range of motion, and sensor placement, and turn the results into clear recommendations for design teams.
• Validate models against physical hardware data and improve fidelity where simulation and reality diverge.
