## About the role

You'll help define the simulation substrate Luma uses to train general-purpose robot policies — a faithful, controllable simulation of the world built on our generative video and 3D models. You'll sit at the boundary between generative models and classical physics simulation, and decide where each one earns its keep.

## What they're looking for

- A strong background in robotics simulation, computer graphics, physics-based modeling, or generative 3D, by degree or practical record
- Fluency in Python and C++, and deep familiarity with at least one production physics engine (Isaac Sim/Lab, MuJoCo, Bullet, PhysX, Drake)
- A track record building simulation systems other people actually used
