Job Description

About the Team

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and pushing towards AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world settings. Working across the entire model stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the constraints of physical systems to improve peoplesโ€™ lives.

About the Role

We are hiring a Simulation Realism Engineer to drive our effort to make simulation quantitatively real for robotics research and product development. This role owns the strategy, tooling and operational practice that close simโ†’real gaps across physics, sensors and rendering. You will work cross-functionally with research, software, hardware and ops to discover the highest-impact realism gaps, define measurable realism metrics, and deliver engineering solutions โ€” from tuning engine parameters and asset standards to integratin...
