About the role

Senior technical leadership role focused on driving early architectural decisions for humanoid robotics platforms through high-fidelity dynamic simulation, digital twin modeling, and system-level analysis to inform product architecture and roadmap.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end robot Dynamic Simulation analysis for early robot architecture, ensuring scalable, and reliable data to inform and validate technical direction in the new product architecture and product definition efforts.
  • Provide technical direction to other architects as well as across other teams, guiding the design of high-performance robotic subsystems.
  • Lead trade studies and architecture reviews for both simulation tools and analysis results to balance performance, functional safety, complexity, manufacturability, cost, and reliability in all future innovation.
  • Partner with cross functional teams including software, controls, and simulation teams to ensure architectural decisions are grounded in system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis.
  • Collaborate closely with software, systems engineering, test, and integration teams to ensure simulation translates into testable, traceable requirements.
  • Influence long-term roadmap and product direction by translating user needs, field performance, and R&D findings into architectural evolution.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in dynamic simulation of platforms to drive product development as a senior or lead engineer
  • 5+ years experience with simulation system, process, and tools development as a senior lead engineer
  • 3+ years robot system/architecture development as a senior lead engineer
  • Deep understanding of robotic system design and Component Simulation and Digital Twin with OS in loop
  • Proven experience in supporting the delivery of complex robotic systems into field or commercial deployment from the ideation phase through production
  • Strong foundations in Software Engineering, robot kinematics, dynamics, controls, and system modeling
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience influencing decisions across multidisciplinary teams
  • Experience with simulation tools such as MuJoCo, Gazebo, or equivalent, and integrating simulation into system design and validation workflows
  • Experience with AI and reinforcement learning techniques applied to robotics learning and control
