🛠 Tech Stack

💼 About This Role

You'll own dexterous hand simulation end-to-end at Apptronik, defining contact dynamics and sim-to-real validation for the Apollo humanoid robot. Your work directly unblocks mechanical design, controls, and hardware teams. This high-autonomy role gives you the authority to set technical standards across the company.

🎯 What You'll Do

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

📋 Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on robotic simulation experience
• Experience with robotic hands or high-DOF manipulators
• Demonstrated contact-rich simulation experience beyond kinematics
• Proven ability to operate as a domain owner setting technical direction

✨ Nice to Have

• Deep working knowledge of Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or equivalent
• Familiarity with tactile sensing or F/T sensor integration in simulation
• USD proficiency: composition arcs, layers, stages

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Direct hire with full benefits package
• 🏢 Cutting-edge robotics in a human-centered company
• 🧑‍💻 High autonomy with cross-functional impact
• 📈 Growth opportunity in a scaling organization
