Simulation Engineer - Physics Modeling

The Simulation team builds the virtual environments and infrastructure that let 1X's AI team iterate on robot learning without being bottlenecked by real hardware. We construct physically realistic simulation worlds for NEO, scale synthetic data production, close the sim-to-real gap, and prototype new hardware virtually before it's manufactured. Our work is a force multiplier for every research and development team at 1X: the faster and more faithfully we can simulate NEO's world, the faster the whole company learns.

• Strong programming in Python, C++, or similar languages, with experience building environments or benchmarks using robotics simulators (MuJoCo, PyBullet, Isaac Sim, or equivalent)
• Demonstrated experience improving simulation fidelity and closing the sim-to-real gap for behavior that had to work on physical hardware
• Experience modeling sensors and their failure modes in simulation, including noise, bias, latency, and dropout
