Software Engineer, Robotics Simulation & AI Infrastructure joins the Advanced Robotics Team to develop an in-house simulation platform for next-generation robots including AMRs, cobots, and humanoids. This role focuses on building core simulator subsystems such as scene representation, physics backends, sensor models, and rendering integrations while optimizing training workloads and data pipelines. The engineer will develop high-throughput paths for synthetic data generation, establish hardware-in-the-loop configurations on Qualcomm silicon, and integrate simulation into AI operations workflows like Argo Workflows on Kubernetes. Key technologies include OpenUSD, URDF, glTF, CUDA, PyTorch, and ROS 2. The role addresses the challenge of closing the sim-to-real gap by creating a robust environment for training robot foundation models and validating software releases through deterministic replays and automated testing across various scenarios like legged locomotion and tabletop manipulation.
