Senior Simulation Engineer, AI Robotics

Summary

Join Standard Bot's AI team as a Simulation Engineer and help architect the future of robotics! You will design and implement high-fidelity simulation environments, build and maintain simulation infrastructure to accelerate AI model development, and design simulation-based evaluation metrics. Experience in autonomous vehicles, gaming, or AR/VR is highly valued. The role involves collaboration with AI, robotics, and product teams. If you're passionate about AI and robotics and have a strong engineering background, we encourage you to apply.

Requirements

Have 5+ years of engineering experience, especially in tech and product-driven environments

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-fidelity simulation environments that accurately model real-world physics and robot dynamics
• Build and maintain simulation infrastructure that accelerates our AI model development cycle through: Predictive success metrics for pre-deployment validation
• Build and maintain simulation infrastructure that accelerates our AI model development cycle through: Automated benchmarking systems integrated with CI/CD pipelines
• Build and maintain simulation infrastructure that accelerates our AI model development cycle through: Enables rapid A/B testing of model iterations
• Design and implement simulation-based evaluation metrics that correlate with real-world AI model performance, including task completion rates, generalization capabilities, and robustness measures
• Develop synthetic data generation pipelines that help improve model training efficiency and reduce sim-to-real gaps
• Collaborate with AI, robotics, and product teams to ensure simulation environments meet real-world deployment needs

Preferred Qualifications

• Have experience with game engines (Unity, Unreal, etc.), AR/VR/XR or physics simulators (e.g. Mujoco, IsaacSim, Drake, Pybullet, Gazebo)
• Support AI research through simulation and pre-deployment validation metrics
• Believe in the potential of AI to reshape industries, even if you’re new to the field
• Bonus points if you experience in a deployed robotics environment
