TL;DR · Senior Physical AI Automation Engineer

JOB TITLE: Physical AI Automation Engineer / Senior Engineer The Physical AI Automation Engineer is a hands-on practitioner who develops and integrates digital twin, 3D, simulation, and industrial-data solutions to connect virtual environments with physical operations. You will build and integrate digital twins for products, production lines, and warehouses by creating 3D environments from CAD, BIM, and PLM inputs. Key responsibilities include developing discrete-event, physics-based, and virtual commissioning simulations to validate throughput and material flow. You will utilize technologies such as NVIDIA Omniverse, OpenUSD, Unity, Unreal Engine, and Python or C++ to connect models with IoT platforms, PLC/SCADA, and ERP systems. This role solves complex industrial problems by providing operational decision support, model calibration, and scenario design for manufacturing, logistics, and engineering environments through structured software engineering and production-quality deployment practices.

What you'll do

  • Develop and integrate digital twins for products, equipment, production lines, and other physical operations.
  • Create 3D environments and asset pipelines using CAD, BIM, PLM data, and reality-capture inputs.
  • Build simulation models to validate layout, throughput, material flow, cycle time, and resource utilization.
  • Connect digital twins with industrial systems such as IoT platforms, PLC/SCADA, MES, and ERP systems.
  • Develop Python or C++ extensions, APIs, and data pipelines to automate connections between models and operational data.
  • Support model calibration, scenario design, and the interpretation of results for engineering and operations stakeholders.
  • Create virtual environments for design reviews, operator training, and process validation.
  • Implement software engineering practices including version control, CI/CD, and documentation for production-quality solutions.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in digital twins, 3D engineering, simulation, industrial software, game engines, or systems integration.
  • Hands-on experience in 3D model development, discrete-event/process simulation, physics-based simulation, virtual commissioning, or industrial data integration.
  • Proficiency with tools such as NVIDIA Omniverse, OpenUSD, Unity, Unreal Engine, Siemens, Dassault Systemes, PTC, Ansys, FlexSim, AnyLogic, or Visual Components.
  • Programming or scripting capability in Python, C++, C#, or a comparable language.
  • Ability to translate engineering or operational requirements into models, simulation scenarios, integrations, and testable outcomes.
  • Understanding of software engineering, testing, documentation, and structured delivery practices.
  • Experience with NVIDIA technologies like Nucleus, Kit SDK, or Isaac Sim (preferred).
  • Experience in CAD/BIM/PLM integration, 3D optimization, reality capture, or industrial ecosystem integration across IoT, PLC/SCADA, MES, WMS, and ERP (preferred).
