NVIDIA is seeking a senior technical leader to enhance the fidelity and robustness of their engineering simulation stack for robotics, automation, and industrial digital twins. This role focuses on developing simulation technology that informs decisions about real systems, such as robots and industrial equipment. The ideal candidate will work in a collaborative environment, integrating simulation with various engineering workflows. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact in the field of AI-assisted computing.

• B.Sc. or equivalent experience, 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 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.
• Experience validating simulators against physical systems, including test correlation, calibration, HIL/SIL workflows, controller co-simulation, or similar methods.
• Working proficiency with robotics-system integration and mechanical-engineering toolchains, including ROS 2, Simulink, Simscape, and model pipelines based on CAD, URDF, MJCF, or OpenUSD.

• Design and develop physically based simulation systems for robotics, industrial automation, and digital twins.
• Collaborate with teams across PhysX, Newton, Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and Isaac Lab to enhance simulation capabilities.
• Develop and improve methods for multibody dynamics, contact and friction, flexible-body behavior, deformables, and numerical solvers.
• Integrate simulation with robotics and engineering workflows involving ROS 2, CAD and URDF pipelines, OpenUSD assets, HIL/SIL environments, and controller-development loops.
• Help scale advanced simulation algorithms on GPUs, mentor engineers, and provide technical leadership across the organization.

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
