Description

  • Develop tooling to convert CAD designs into USD assets with accurate collision meshes, joint limits, and kinematic parameters for Isaac Sim.
  • Design and implement evaluation environments and dexterity benchmarks in Isaac Lab.
  • Model physical properties for high-fidelity dynamic simulation and photorealistic scenarios.
  • Implement and maintain teleoperation and retargeting interfaces between human input devices and simulated hands.
  • Ensure the teleoperation stack behaves consistently across simulation and real hardware.
  • Create automated Python-based tools in Isaac Sim to analyze reachable workspace and manipulability for new hand designs.
  • Partner with hardware teams to compare simulation and real-world grasping performance.
  • Iteratively tune simulation parameters to reduce the sim-to-real gap.
  • Support the development of contact-rich manipulation behaviors such as finger gaiting, sliding, and in-hand reorientation.
  • Collaborate with controls teams to validate dexterity capabilities in the digital twin.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience working with robotic simulation.
  • Deep experience with modern robotics simulators such as Isaac Sim or MuJoCo.
  • Strong understanding of USD, including composition arcs, layers, and stages.
  • Strong Python skills for scripting, pipeline automation, and data analysis.
  • Proficiency in C++ is a plus.
  • Solid understanding of kinematics, rigid body dynamics, collision geometry generation, and spatial math.
  • Ability to serve as a communication bridge between hardware design and software teams.
