Digital Twin / Robotics Simulation Engineer (m/f/d)

Are you interested in solving the gap between robotics simulation and physical hardware ?

We're working with an ambitious European robotics company developing production-grade embodied AI and humanoid robotics . They're building a core engineering team and are looking for an experienced engineer to take ownership of the mathematical and simulation models that underpin the robot's physical design.

This is a highly technical role for someone who wants to work beyond simulation demos and contribute directly to hardware decisions, system performance and real-world deployment.

Your Responsibilities

• Build and maintain high-fidelity URDF models and simulation environments as the engineering source of truth
• Perform static and dynamic analysis to derive torque, load and other critical hardware requirements
• Feed simulation results directly into mechanical and actuator design decisions
• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to identify physical limitations before hardware is manufactured
• Develop simulation tools and methodologies to accelerate robotics development
• Design and execute simulation-based experiments to optimise kinematics, packaging and hardware configurations
• Support the development and deployment of classical and ML-based control systems
• Perform system identification , including model structure and parameter selection
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical and software engineering teams
• Validate simulation models against physical test data and refine designs accordingly

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional experience in robotics or a closely related field
• Deep understanding of Nvidia Omniverse & Nvidia Isaac Sim
• Deep understanding of classical physics and multi-body dynamics
• Strong experience with robotics simulation and system modelling
• Expertise with tools and environments such as MATLAB, Gazebo, MuJoCo and FEA
• Strong understanding of mechatronics and robotics control
• Experience with system identification
• Experience building virtual environments and conducting simulation-based experiments
• Understanding of both classical and ML-based control approaches
• Hands-on mindset with experience troubleshooting physical prototypes
• Ability to work across mechanical, electrical and software disciplines
• Strong communication skills and a focus on precision, reliability and real-world deployment

What's On Offer

• Opportunity to work on production-grade physical AI and robotics
• Direct influence over the mathematical and physical foundations of the robot
• Work closely with experienced robotics and technology leadership
• Significant ownership over simulation methodology and engineering standards
• Highly technical environment focused on real-world deployment rather than research demosPan-European engineering environment with a strong robotics focus
• Opportunity to join during a major phase of company and product development

If you're a robotics simulation engineer who wants your models to directly determine what gets built in the real world , this could be a very interesting opportunity.
