About the role
We're looking for a Simulation Engineer to own and expand our NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse simulation infrastructure. You'll build the digital twin environments, sim assets, and CI/CD pipelines that our autonomy team relies on daily. You will help achieve the vision in which every robot behavior we develop is prototyped, tested, and validated in simulation before it runs on hardware.
What they're looking for
- BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- 3+ years of professional experience in robotics simulation, digital twin development, or physics-based simulation environments
- Strong hands-on experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim and/or NVIDIA Omniverse
- Working knowledge of OpenUSD (Universal Scene Description): authoring, composition, referencing, flattening, and debugging USD stage hierarchies
- Proficiency in Python, comfortable writing simulation tooling, test harnesses, and automation scripts
- Experience with at least one physics engine: PhysX, MuJoCo, Bullet, or Drake

As a simulation engineer at Persona, you will have an incredible opportunity to shape the simulation infrastructure that underpins our entire autonomy stack. You will report to the Behavior Coordination Lead and work closely with machine learning, locomotion, manipulation, perception, and devops teams.
Build, maintain, and extend simulation environments in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Omniverse for humanoid robot development.
Develop and manage OpenUSD sim assets: robot models, tools, workpieces, customer facility environments (shipyards, steel fabrication plants, industrial sites).
Create and maintain physics-accurate digital twins of customer facilities (shipyards and industrial manufacturing) for behavior validation and deployment planning.
Integrate all autonomy subsystems (locomotion, manipulation,...
