Requirements
- Proven hands-on experience developing sophisticated simulation environments and synthetic data generation pipelines using NVIDIA Isaac Sim (or a comparable platform like Gazebo/ROS, V-REP, or MuJoCo, with a strong willingness to transition)
- Strong proficiency in Python and experience with C++ is a plus
- Experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS)
- Deep understanding of data processing and calibration for robotic sensors, particularly vision, force/torque, and tactile
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts, especially in the context of robot perception and control (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)
- Experience integrating data from various tactile sensing modalities
- Experience with computer vision techniques
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain complex, photorealistic, and physically accurate robotic simulation environments within Isaac Sim (built on Omniverse)
- Develop custom assets, scripts, and world layouts to represent diverse operational scenarios for robot training
- Configure and utilize virtual sensors within Isaac Sim, specifically vision (e.g., RGB-D, LiDAR), force/torque (F/T), and tactile sensors, ensuring accurate data output for training
- Develop pipelines for large-scale, automated synthetic data generation and annotation from the simulation for AI model training
- Integrate and test AI/ML models (e.g., reinforcement learning, imitation learning, deep learning for perception) with the simulated robot system
- Develop and implement low-level and high-level robot control algorithms within the simulation
- Validate the performance of trained AI models in simulation before deployment on physical hardware
Other
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
- 3+ years of professional experience in robotics software development
- Required Travel: Yes, 10% of the time
- Shift Type: 1st Shift/Days
- Export licensing review process may be required for non-US citizens
