💼 About This Role

You'll own dexterous hand simulation for Apptronik's humanoid robot Apollo. Your work directly unblocks Mechanical Design, Controls, and Hardware teams by making simulation a reliable predictor of physical hand behavior. This high-autonomy role offers the opportunity to define simulation standards from scratch.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Model and tune contact parameters against real hardware measurements
• Design and execute systematic sim-to-real validation workflows
• Build accurate models of hand sensing and actuation systems in simulation
• Design evaluation environments and dexterity benchmarks in Isaac Sim

📋 Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on robotic simulation experience (Senior) or 7+ years (Staff)
• Experience with robotic hands or high-DOF manipulators
• Demonstrated experience with contact-rich simulation
• Strong Python skills and solid fundamentals in rigid body dynamics

✨ Nice to Have

• Deep working knowledge of Isaac Sim or MuJoCo
• Familiarity with tactile sensing or F/T sensor integration in simulation
• USD proficiency
