Description

  • Build an end-to-end environment capture pipeline that turns real-world site walkthroughs into high-fidelity simulation scenes.
  • Create a manipulable-object asset pipeline for customer parts, tools, and household objects with physically grounded properties.
  • Define and manage the asset ingestion process for the managed asset store, including authoring tools, validation, versioning, and metadata schemas.
  • Improve the physical fidelity of scene and object assets, including collision geometry, contact properties, and material parameters.
  • Establish scalable object-library curation and tagging conventions.
  • Partner with Perception, ML Ops, and Deployment / Field Engineering teams to onboard new customer sites into simulation.
  • Work closely with the Simulation Infrastructure team to support sim-to-real transfer through accurate asset modeling.

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern C++.
  • Hands-on experience with a 3D content pipeline such as Blender, Maya, or Houdini.
  • Working knowledge of OpenUSD, URDF, MJCF, and the geometric/inertial details that affect sim-to-real transfer.
  • Experience with at least one major physics simulator.
  • Experience with neural reconstruction methods such as Gaussian splatting or NeRF, photogrammetry, or 3D capture pipelines.
  • Familiarity with collision geometry optimization for manipulation tasks, such as convex decomposition.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, robotics simulation, 3D pipelines, or related fields.
