Senior SDE, Simulation Runtime and Physics Integration

What you'll do

• Integrate and optimize physics engines, solvers, and simulation pipelines for rigid and deformable dynamics and contact-rich robotics.
• Improve CPU/GPU performance and build APIs and model pipelines that connect simulation with the broader robotics stack.
• Partner with applied scientists to productionize simulation methods and measure and reduce the simulation-to-reality gap.

What they ask for

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 5+ years of programming experience with at least one programming language.
• 5+ years of experience leading design or architecture of new and existing systems, including design patterns, reliability, and scaling.
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or engineering team lead.

Nice to have

• Master's degree or above in robotics, mechanical/mechatronics engineering, systems engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with physics engines, robotics model pipelines, GPU computing, simulation-to-reality work, or reinforcement learning workflows.
