Simulation Engineer, Industrial Physics and Robotics

NVIDIA is seeking a senior technical leader to help raise the fidelity, robustness, and practical value of its engineering simulation stack for robotics, automation, and industrial digital twins.

The successful candidate will design and develop physically based simulation systems for robotics, industrial automation, and digital twins. They will collaborate with teams across PhysX, Newton, Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and Isaac Lab to bring higher-fidelity simulation capabilities into NVIDIA's robotics and simulation platforms.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and improving methods for multibody dynamics, contact and friction, flexible-body behavior, deformables, and numerical solvers.
• Integrating simulation with robotics and engineering workflows involving ROS 2, CAD and URDF pipelines, OpenUSD assets, HIL/SIL environments, and controller-development loops.
• Scaling advanced simulation algorithms on GPUs and providing technical leadership across the organization.

Requirements:

• B.Sc. (or equivalent experience) or M.Sc. or Ph.D. with 8+ years of experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Applied Math, Physics, or a related field.
• A track record of building or leading simulation software used in production engineering, robotics, industrial machinery, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, or adjacent domains.
• Deep knowledge in several areas such as multibody dynamics, constrained systems, contact and friction, articulations, flexible bodies, cable or wire simulation, deformables, FEM, solver design, numerical integration, stiffness handling, or model reduction.

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
