robotics simulation engineer, hardware-accelerated engines

We're pioneering advancements in robotics, and we need a skilled engineer to explore and optimize hardware-accelerated simulation engines. In this role, you'll evaluate, integrate, and enhance simulation tools to support high-performance robotics development, focusing on realism, speed, and scalability. This position is ideal for someone passionate about bridging hardware and software to simulate complex robotic behaviors, such as locomotion, manipulation, or environmental interactions.

You'll work independently and collaboratively to benchmark engines, identify bottlenecks, and propose hardware-accelerated solutions (e.g., leveraging GPUs or specialized accelerators). This is a chance to influence our robotics pipeline from the ground up, ensuring simulations are efficient and accurate for real-world applications.
