Overview

micro1 is hiring Simulation Experts for a customer project that builds advanced simulation environments to train next-generation AI systems. You will create 3D assets and scenes in tools like Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or MuJoCo, then tune physics so simulated objects match real-world behavior. Scientists and subject-matter experts will rely on your models to validate accuracy. No AI background is needed. Your simulation and 3D modeling skills are what count.

What You'll Do7

  • Build and configure 3D assets and environments in simulation platforms such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or similar tools.
  • Convert real-world objects and instruments into simulation, matching geometry, scale, material, and physical behavior.
  • Work with scientists and subject-matter experts to confirm that simulated environments are accurate.
  • Adjust physical parameters like mass, friction, collision properties, and joint dynamics so simulated objects behave like their real counterparts.
  • Diagnose and resolve differences between simulated and real-world behavior.
  • Create and maintain 3D models and environment designs that meet project fidelity standards.
  • Test simulation setups and document parameter choices for review by technical stakeholders.

Requirements6

  • Hands-on experience with at least one robotics or physics simulation platform such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, Unity, Unreal, or PyBullet.
  • Background in 3D modeling, CAD, or environment design.
  • Understanding of physics simulation concepts including rigid body dynamics, materials, and sensors.
  • Strong collaboration skills for working with scientific and technical stakeholders.
  • Attention to detail when matching real-world fidelity.
  • Access to a Windows or Linux workstation with an NVIDIA RTX GPU.

Who Should Apply

This role suits someone with hands-on experience in a robotics or physics simulation platform and a background in 3D modeling, CAD, or environment design. You should be comfortable tuning physics parameters and working with scientists to validate accuracy. A Windows or Linux workstation with an NVIDIA RTX GPU is required.
