🤖 Simulation & Reinforcement Learning Engineer


We’re partnered with a cutting-edge robotics company building next-generation multi purpose robots designed to move, think, and work safely alongside humans. The team is scaling rapidly and looking for a Simulation & Reinforcement Learning Engineer to join their R&D group focused on simulation fidelity, reinforcement learning integration, and optimization for real-world robotic performance.


What You’ll Do

  • Develop simulation studies and full-body analysis workflows in modern physics simulators (Isaac Lab/Sim, MuJoCo, or Brax).
  • Build reproducible scripts and tools for experiment design, validation, and deployment.
  • Integrate full-body RL policies into simulation environments and support optimization of robot design.
  • Enhance simulation fidelity — friction, efficiency, impact loads, and contact dynamics — and validate against mechanical and control specs.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and controls engineers to accelerate design iterations and deliver production-quality models.


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong Python fundamentals (NumPy, PyTorch) and experience with simulation environments.
  • Hands-on reinforcement learning experience — training, inference, and hyperparameter tuning.
  • Proven ability to deliver research prototypes and production-grade code using Git.
  • Bonus: experience with GPU/cloud pipelines, Docker, or physics-based system identification.


Background

  • BS in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or related field with 4 years of experience,
  • or MS with 2 years of experience in relevant domains.
  • Onsite role based in Austin, TX (Monday–Friday).


If you’re excited about bridging the gap between simulation and reality for robotic systems, we’d love to connect.
