- 12+ years of relevant experience
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Controls, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
- A consequential technical project you personally built, led, and maintained. Publicly inspectable work is the strongest evidence; a major closed-source production system also counts when its shipped impact and your contribution can be verified without disclosing confidential information.
- End-to-end ownership of a hard-tech system in robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, scientific instrumentation, or a comparable field—from physical measurement and modeling through working software and validated results.
- Expert C++ and Python software engineering, grounded in first-principles knowledge of dynamics, controls, system identification, numerical methods, applied mathematics, or closely related areas.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Direct experience characterizing robot actuators, sensors, contact, latency, or control behavior with fit-for-purpose instrumentation.
- Experience with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Newton, Warp, MuJoCo, Drake, PhysX, ROS/ROS 2, or comparable platforms.
- Experience turning a successful one-off experiment into a maintained tool, benchmark, model, or workflow used by other engineers.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary ranges for this position are: 224,000 USD – 356,500 USD for Level 5; and 272,000 USD – 431,250 USD for Level 6.
