Simulation Software Engineer — Humanoid Robotics (Digital Twin)
Munich · Full-time · Competitive salary + bonus + VSOP
We're looking for a Simulation Software Engineer to own the digital twin of our partners humanoid platform. This is a software-first role: you'll be building and maintaining the simulation infrastructure that our controls, RL, and hardware teams depend on daily — not just running experiments in someone else's sim.
What you'll do
- Own and extend our simulation stack (Isaac Sim/Isaac Lab) — build tooling, extensions, and pipelines, not just use them out of the box
- Build and maintain a high-fidelity digital twin of the robot — physics, contact dynamics, actuator behaviour — that our team can trust as a proxy for the real hardware
- Develop software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) workflows to validate control software before it ever touches the physical robot
- Own system identification: tuning and calibrating simulation models so they track real robot behaviour, closing the sim-to-real gap
- Build the software bridge connecting simulation, orchestration, and data pipelines — this is a founding-level infrastructure role, not a downstream user of tools someone else built
- Work directly with our controls and robot learning teams to make sure policies trained in sim actually transfer to hardware
What we need
- Strong software engineering fundamentals — C++ and/or Python, comfortable building and maintaining infrastructure, not just scripts
- Hands-on experience with robotics simulation platforms (Isaac Sim/Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or similar)
- Robotics or humanoid robotics experience is required — this is not a role for someone coming purely from game engines, VFX, or non-robotics simulation backgrounds
- Understanding of rigid-body dynamics, contact physics, or controls — enough to reason about why a sim model is or isn't tracking reality
- Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving, early-stage team where you're building the function, not joining an established one
Nice to have
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 integration into simulation environments
- Prior work on SIL/HIL validation for robotics or safety-critical systems
- Exposure to RL training pipelines and sim-to-real transfer
