Full Job Description
Physical AI Engineer - Simulation & Synthetic Data

Build the Future of Robotics with Physical AI

We're building real-world Physical AI systems-where learning agents interact with physical machines. This role is tailored for an AI Robotics Engineer with a strong reinforcement learning (RL) mindset, someone who wants to train, evaluate, and deploy intelligent behaviors that emerge through interaction, not just perception.

You'll work hands-on with NVIDIA Omniverse, physics-based simulation, synthetic data, and foundation models to train agents that learn to act, adapt, and generalize in complex environments. This is a builder role: fast iteration, scalable training, and direct transfer from simulation to physical robots.

What You'll Do
  • Build high-fidelity, physics-based simulation environments in NVIDIA Omniverse / Isaac Sim for training and evaluating robotic agents.
  • Design and run reinforcement learning and imitation learning pipelines using simulation-generated and synthetic data.
  • Train and tune policies for control, planning, and decision-making, emphasizing robustness and sim-to-real performance.
  • Integrate foundation models (GPT-class, Claude / Opus, multimodal models) to support reasoning, task decomposition, or human-in-the-loop learning.
  • Drive simulation-to-real transfer, ensuring learned behaviors perform reliably on physical robotic systems.
  • Collaborate with robotics, controls, and perception engineers to deploy learning-based systems end to end.


Requirements
  • 5-8+ years of experience in robotics, reinforcement learning, simulation, or applied machine learning.
  • Strong hands-on experience with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or learning-based control.
  • Proven experience building and training agents in simulation environments (synthetic data, domain randomization, curriculum learning).
  • Experience working in the NVIDIA ecosystem (Omniverse, Isaac Sim, USD pipelines strongly preferred).
  • Experience applying or integrating foundation models (e.g., GPT-based or Claude / Opus-style models) into robotics or decision-making workflows.
  • Strong Python skills; ability to build and scale training pipelines.
  • Builder mindset with a track record of moving learning systems from experiment to deployment.
  • In lieu of Omniverse and Reel Sim experience 15 + years of experience in specialization of security, CATO, Fortinet, Zscaler, and Zero Trust needed.


Nice to Have
  • Model-free or model-based RL at scale
  • Sim-to-real transfer techniques (domain randomization, system ID, hybrid control)
  • Physics engines, real-time systems, or robotics middleware
  • Experience operationalizing learned policies on physical robots


Work Environment
  • Remote / hybrid (US-based)
  • Occasional domestic and global travel
  • Flexible working hours aligned to experimentation and training cycles

--- This description is optimized to attract senior, hands-on AI robotics engineers with strong reinforcement learning and simulation expertise.
