Simulation Engineer- Digital Twin

Wave Recruitment is working with a pioneering robotics company developing the next generation of bi-manual mobile manipulators to tackle real-world warehouse tasks.

Simulation is central to their approach — enabling rapid iteration, large-scale data generation, and safe experimentation before robots ever roll onto the floor. As a Senior Simulation Engineer
, you’ll take ownership of the high-fidelity virtual worlds and pipelines that make this possible.

• Building and refining physics-accurate warehouse simulators for dual-arm mobile manipulation.
• Scaling data generation for reinforcement and imitation learning
  , spinning up GPU-accelerated clusters with platforms like Isaac Sim, Mu Jo Co , and Mani Skill.
• Developing real-time sim-to-real integration with ROS 2, ensuring digital twins mirror physical robot states.
• Tuning physics, rendering, and sensor pipelines so large batches run 10–100× faster than real time
  .
• Embedding simulation in CI/CD pipelines for regression testing at scale.
• Partnering with perception, planning, and controls teams to accelerate deployment cycles.

• MSc/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering.
• 5+ years experience building robotics simulations or digital-twin systems, including large-scale RL/IL data collection.
• Deep, hands-on experience with multiple simulation platforms (Mu Jo Co , Isaac Sim, Coppelia Sim/V-REP, Mani Skill).
• Expert-level Python and modern C++ on Linux with strong engineering practices (testing, profiling, CI).
• Proven track record of ROS 2 integration
  .
• Solid grounding in kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and perception to debug sim-to-real gaps.
• Strong communicator and analytical thinker, comfortable in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.

• Competitive salary,
  equity
  , and performance bonus.
• Annual conference budget & dedicated research time
  .
• Flexible hours with a hybrid/remote-friendly culture.
• State-of-the-art lab facilities and a collaborative environment.
