Job Description:

As a Simulation Engineer at Tutor Intelligence, you will build and own simulation tooling that supports multiple real-world robot programs. Your primary responsibility will be designing, extending, and maintaining simulation environments in NVIDIA Isaac Sim that enable rapid development, testing, and validation of robot behaviors before they hit the floor. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, software infrastructure, and product development. You’ll work closely with robotics engineers, autonomy teams, and operators to ensure simulation is not an afterthought, but a first-class part of how Tutor designs, tests, and ships robotic systems. You’ll also have the autonomy to spin up and manage the infrastructure needed to run simulations at scale. This is a hands-on, builder role for someone who has already shipped real simulation systems and wants ownership over both the tooling and the underlying systems that support it.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design, build, and maintain simulation environments in NVIDIA Isaac Sim to support multiple robot platforms and use cases
  • Develop reusable simulation tooling, assets, and workflows that accelerate robotics development across teams
  • Model robots, sensors, environments, and task dynamics with sufficient fidelity to inform real-world deployment
  • Integrate simulation with autonomy stacks, perception systems, and testing pipelines
  • Own simulation infrastructure end-to-end, including: Compute, storage, and orchestration for running simulations
  • CI / automated testing hooks for simulation-based validation
  • Data logging, replay, and analysis pipelines
  • Collaborate closely with robotics, autonomy, and operations teams to ensure simulation reflects real-world constraints and failure modes
  • Debug simulation/real-world mismatches and iterate quickly to close the gap
  • Utilize real-world data to generic digital twin layouts (real-to-sim) for testing and development
  • Establish best practices for simulation usage, versioning, and validation as the company scales

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim in a production or research setting
  • Strong proficiency in Python and familiarity with robotics software stacks
  • Solid understanding of robotics fundamentals (kinematics, sensors, control, simulation fidelity tradeoffs)
  • Experience building or operating full-stack systems, including: Spinning up compute (cloud or on-prem)
  • Managing services, containers, or job orchestration
  • Standing up basic data pipelines and tooling without heavy hand-holding
  • Comfortable owning ambiguous problems and driving solutions from concept to working system
  • Able to work closely with both software-focused and hardware-focused teammates
  • Bias toward practical, shippable solutions over academic perfection

Nice to have:

  • Experience simulating mobile manipulators, industrial robots, or warehouse automation systems
  • Experience with synthetic data generation for perception or autonomy
  • Prior work supporting multiple robot programs from a shared simulation platform
  • Startup or early-stage company experience with broad ownership and limited constraints
  • Experience operating GPU-backed workloads or simulation at scale
What we offer:
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Fully employer-covered health and dental insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Regular in-office meals and team events
  • A collaborative, low-ego environment where people are trusted to do their best work
