Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer: 3D Modeling & ROS/ROS2

Magnendo Corp.; Newton (MA); On-site; USD 130,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Magnendo Corp. is hiring a Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer to design and build the 3D simulation infrastructure powering system analysis, algorithm development, and testing for a cutting-edge endovascular robotic platform.

You will develop and maintain ROS/ROS2 based simulation environments (Gazebo/Isaac Sim) modeling robot cart, sensors, and interactions, while collaborating with systems, robotics, and software engineers to ensure fidelity and traceability.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience building simulation tooling and environments for robotics, autonomous systems, or complex electromechanical systems.
• Experience with ROS / ROS2 and building simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or similar).
• Comfortable with 3D robotics simulation concepts: kinematics, dynamics, sensor modeling, and environment/world modeling
• Strong software engineering skills (e.g., Python, C++) to build and maintain simulation infrastructure and tooling
• Experienced partnering with algorithm, systems, and test engineers to translate analysis needs into simulation capabilities
• Strong root-cause analysis and debugging skills across simulation, algorithms, and system integration
• Able to operate with the judgment and independence of an early startup hire - comfortable defining process where none exists yet, while holding the line on rigor where it matters most
• An adept, fast learner who is comfortable in a fast-paced environment

Responsibilities

• Design and develop 3D robotic simulation infrastructure to support system analysis, algorithm development, and system/software testing
• Build and maintain simulation environments and tooling in ROS / ROS2 to model robot cart, sensor, and system behavior
• Support early-stage analyses to identify optimal placement of the robot cart and sensors within the clinical environment
• Develop simulation models of robot kinematics, dynamics, sensing, and environment interactions to support algorithm development and validation
• Partner with systems, robotics, and software engineers to define simulation requirements and ensure simulation fidelity matches real-world system behavior
• Integrate simulation tooling into test and validation workflows to support system and software testing
• Analyze simulation results to inform design decisions, and iterate on simulation fidelity as the system matures
• Contribute to a rigorous engineering process that blends modern simulation and software practices with a regulatory V-model framework as applicable (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 14971)
