JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking an early-career Simulation Engineer to join our growing Simulation team as a generalist contributor. This is an opportunity to learn humanoid simulation across its full breadth — from physics and contact modeling through scene authoring, asset pipelines, and developer tooling — while contributing to multiple ongoing initiatives at once.

You will work across several of the team's focus areas, with near-term emphasis on supporting our dexterous-hand simulation work. As we hire a senior owner for the Dexterity domain, you will help build the foundational infrastructure they will grow into, and over time develop depth in the area where your interests and the team's needs align best.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Dexterity Foundations: Build and maintain hand collision geometry (primitive decomposition, mesh cleanup). Author evaluation scenes and dexterity benchmarks in Isaac Lab / Isaac Sim from specifications. Run sim-to-real comparison experiments and produce comparison reports.
• Design-Time Simulation: Contribute to the CAD-to-simulation pipeline — kinematic graph extraction, collision geometry, mass and inertia property handling. Run design-space exploration experiments per protocols defined by senior team members.
• Robot Description & Asset Pipeline: Help maintain canonical robot models — joint limits, inertias, collision properties. Build and maintain regression tests and validation tooling for the robot assets the rest of the org depends on.
• Production Platform Contributions: Contribute to the simulation platform's tooling, examples, CI infrastructure, and developer documentation. Triage user-reported issues and help unblock other teams using the platform.
• Team Contributions: Own onboarding docs and example scenes that help new engineers get productive on the platform — your perspective as the newest team member is a real asset here.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS:

Must-Have

• 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (strong internship or research project experience qualifies)
• Strong Python skills
• Solid fundamentals: rigid body dynamics, linear algebra, spatial math, programming
• Coursework or project experience with robotics simulation, computational geometry, or computer graphics
• Demonstrated curiosity and willingness to work across multiple domains rather than specializing immediately

Nice-to-Have

• Hands-on experience with Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or equivalent simulator (coursework or projects count)
• Familiarity with USD, URDF, MJCF, or other robot/scene description formats
• Exposure to mechanical engineering, robot hardware, or sim-to-real workflows

JOB SUMMARY 

We are seeking a Staff Simulation Engineer to be the sole owner of dexterous hand simulation at Apptronik.

This is a high-autonomy, high-impact individual contributor role. You will define how hands are represented in simulation — from contact geometry and physics fidelity all the way through sim-to-real validation — and you will be the authoritative technical voice across Mechanical Design, Controls, and Hardware whenever simulation of the hand is in scope. There is no team beneath you, but your work directly unblocks multiple teams.

Core mandate: make simulation a reliable predictor of physical hand behavior, and own that standard end-to-end.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Contact Dynamics & Physics Fidelity: Own the accuracy of contact simulation for high-DOF robotic hands. Model and tune contact parameters — stiffness, damping, friction, restitution — against real hardware measurements. Develop and maintain hand-specific collision geometry (primitive decomposition, mesh optimization) to ensure simulation contact behavior matches physical interaction.

Sim-to-Real Validation: Design and execute systematic sim-to-real validation workflows. Run side-by-side comparisons of grasping stability, fingertip contact forces, and joint behavior between simulation and hardware. Drive iterative parameter calibration using real sensor data — encoders, F/T sensors, tactile arrays — until simulation predictions are quantifiably reliable

Sensor & Actuator Modeling: Build accurate models of the hand's sensing and actuation systems within simulation — including tactile sensor response, actuator dynamics (compliance, backlash), and encoder noise characteristics.

Evaluation Scene Construction: Design and implement evaluation environments and dexterity benchmarks in Isaac Lab / Isaac Sim. Own the physical property modeling — contact materials, object mass/inertia, surface textures — required for high-fidelity task simulation.

Asset Pipeline: Contribute to CAD-to-USD conversion workflows as needed — collision mesh generation, joint limit extraction, kinematic parameter import. This is infrastructure support, not a primary focus.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

Must-Have

• 4+ years of hands-on robotic simulation experience (Senior); 7+ years (Staff)
• Experience with robotic hands or high-DOF manipulators
• Demonstrated experience with contact-rich simulation — not just kinematics and trajectory playback
• Experience with physics parameter identification (sysid) or domain randomization pipelines
• Proven ability to operate as a domain owner: setting technical direction, making independent architectural decisions, and driving cross-functional alignment through expertise
• Strong Python skills; C++ a plus
• Solid fundamentals: rigid body dynamics, contact mechanics, collision geometry, spatial math
• Hardware-grounded: experience running sim-to-real comparisons with real sensor data

Nice-to-Have

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

EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE 

• MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.

Team Description:

The Pathology and Digital Imaging team enables the rigorous preclinical studies our devices go through before reaching a user. Testing is precise; analyzing tissue to understand exactly what happened at the cellular level. This team is crucial for proving  safety, improving our  device, and pushing  science forward.

Histological analysis has shown that Neuralink's threads preserve 98% of neurons at the implant interface. The Pathology and Digital Imaging Team makes these kinds of analyses possible.

This is a small, tightly knit team, and you'll work directly with pathologists, technicians, and neuroscientists. You'll watch them use your software, hear what's slow, see what's confusing, and ship fixes and features fast. The feedback loop is measured in hours, not sprints.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Software Engineer on the Pathology and Digital Imaging Team,  you'll own the software stack that powers Neuralink's pathology and histology operations. This spans the full lifecycle - from the moment tissue is collected at necropsy, through processing, staining, and imaging.

You’ll build the software that makes this analysis scalable: tracking thousands of tissue specimens from collection through microscopic analysis, giving scientists the tools to analyze billion-pixel images, and building AI tools to auto-analyze tissue response. Projects you will work on: 

• Tissue specimen tracking systems that follow samples, organ blocks, and slides through every step of the histology workflow
• A high-performance whole-slide image viewer that renders billion-pixel microscopy images in the browser
• Annotation and analysis tools that let scientists draw regions of interest, score pathology findings, and compare serial sections with image alignment and overlay
• ML annotation pipelines where model predictions are surfaced to scientists for validation, accelerating the analysis of large tissue datasets

Required Qualifications: 

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent demonstrated work experience
• Strong full-stack engineering skills. Our stack is Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript, but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than your resume matching our package.json
• You've built software that real people use
• You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative
• You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it
• You're comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn't been done before for this kind of device

Team Description:

The Robot Manufacturing Software team allows Neuralink to build neurosurgical robots at a scale that has never been done before. Every robot that ships was tracked, assembled, calibrated, and verified through the software you'll build. This is the backbone of how we scale from early production to meeting real clinical demand.

We're a small, tightly knit team - and this role is the first dedicated owner of the robot manufacturing software stack. As the company scales, so will the complexity, and you'll be the one designing and building the systems that make all of that possible.

We operate as a tight, high-trust team. You'll have direct ownership and the autonomy to solve hard problems, but also high expectations.

We're moving fast to meet clinical demand and keep up with deployments. 60-hour weeks are not uncommon, and there are stretches where the pace is high. This isn't for everyone.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Software Engineer on the Robot Manufacturing Team,  you'll work directly with robot engineers and surgical engineers to understand what they need, then build it. You won't be handed a spec doc from a product manager three layers removed from the problem. 

Some days you're heads-down writing code all day. On another day, you might spend a morning pairing with a robot engineer to understand a new calibration process, then spend the afternoon building the tracking system for it. The constant is that you're close to the problem and shipping solutions quickly. Projects you will work on: 

• Inventory and warehouse management systems that track every component going into a neurosurgical robot - from raw materials through final assembly
• Lifecycle management software that engineers use to build, calibrate, verify, and maintain robots throughout their entire lifespan
• Whatever else needs building. The scope of problems here is wide and constantly evolving. You'll have real ownership over the direction this stack grows

Required Qualifications: 

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent demonstrated work experience
• Strong full-stack engineering skills. Our stack is Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript, but we care more about your ability to learn and ship than your resume matching our package.json
• You've built software that real people use
• You can talk to users, understand their problems, and translate that into well-built software. This role is deeply collaborative
• You take ownership. When your software breaks on the floor, you fix it
• You're comfortable with ambiguity. Manufacturing at this scale hasn't been done before for this kind of device

Team Description:

We build the electrical systems that make high-bandwidth brain–computer interfaces possible. This includes neural signal acquisition and stimulation to wireless power delivery, embedded processing, and system integration—all within devices small enough to be implanted in the human body and efficient enough to operate under strict thermal and power constraints. Our work sits at the intersection of analog, RF, digital, and biological systems. Many problems in this space do not present clean abstractions or clear failure modes. Success often depends on careful measurement, iteration, and engineering judgment across multiple interacting systems.

Job Responsibilities:

• Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems
• Contribute to all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification
• Help conduct R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger
• Work cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration
• Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
• Design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control

Note: The team is hiring electrical engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Strong electrical engineering and physics fundamentals, with demonstrated ability to apply them under real-world constraints (noise, power, size, non-ideal interfaces)
• Proven ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and verify complex PCBAs operating under tight power and size constraints, including mixed-signal circuits, sensitive sensor interfaces, and embedded compute
• Experience debugging systems where issues span multiple domains (analog, digital, RF, power) and root causes are not immediately obvious
• Deep familiarity with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, VNAs) and the ability to extract meaningful insight from imperfect measurements

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience shipping highly integrated, size- and power-constrained devices (e.g., wearables, implantables, compact wireless systems)
• Experience with wireless systems and RF design tradeoffs (BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna design, coexistence)
• Experience supporting hardware through manufacturing at scale, including yield, test, and failure analysis
• Experience in safety-critical or regulated environments, where reliability and risk must be explicitly managed
• Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (CAD tools, packaging, stack-ups)
• Experience with electromagnetic simulation and antenna validation (FEM/FDTD or equivalent)

• Agent Development: Design and develop custom agents and agent harnesses, including MCP servers, orchestration logic, prompt engineering, and eval scaffolding. Agents are the centerpiece of the function. 

• Vendor AI Extension: Build on top of Salesforce Einstein, Tableau Pulse-AI, ETQ-AI, Fellow.ai, and the data-platform AI capabilities IEM brings on next 

• Solution Discovery: Run intake conversations with internal partners to surface high-value AI use cases, pressure-test feasibility against existing tooling, and prioritize the implementation roadmap 

• AI Governance and Security: Build with data leakage prevention, prompt injection mitigation, and model risk as first-class concerns, in alignment with IEM's broader AI policy framework 

• Adoption and Enablement: Train users, write documentation, and run enablement programs so the AI solutions you deliver get used by the people they were built for 

• Cross-Functional Delivery: Coordinate with the internal teams the Data Team serves through build and rollout, keeping stakeholders aligned as solutions move from idea to deployment 

• Documentation: Maintain design notes, integration docs, and runbooks for the AI solutions you deliver so the team can support and extend your work 

• AI-Assisted Development: Use modern AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor as part of your daily practice, setting the standard for the rest of the Data Team 

• Team Leadership: If filling the people-leader track, hire, coach, and grow a small team of AI engineers as the function scales 

• Engineering Standards: Participate in code reviews, follow Git workflows and CI/CD practices, and contribute to evolving the team's AI engineering conventions 

• Continuous Learning: Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape, bringing ideas back to the team and helping raise the bar over time

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building AI or agentic systems used by a real organization 

• Direct experience building agents, plug-ins, or AI applications used in a real working environment, not coursework, prototypes, or POCs 

• Hands-on experience with modern agent tooling such as Claude Code, MCP (Model Context Protocol), LangGraph, Mastra, Pydantic AI, or comparable frameworks 

• Strong programming skills in Python, including async patterns, type hints, and testing 

• Working knowledge of large language model APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, or comparable), with hands-on prompt engineering, evaluation, and iteration on production prompts 

• Working knowledge of AI governance and security including prompt injection mitigation, data leakage prevention, model risk, and vendor review 

• Track record of driving adoption of AI or technical solutions with users outside the immediate engineering team 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders and to gather requirements from business users 

• Comfortable with Git version control, code review, and modern engineering workflows including CI/CD 

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating effectively across a distributed team 

• Preferred: People leadership experience including managing 2 to 5 engineers and running technical hiring 

• Preferred: Experience extending vendor AI platforms in the data and analytics ecosystem (Salesforce Einstein, Tableau Pulse-AI, BI vendors, vertical SaaS) 

• Preferred: Mid-market or operational and manufacturing context, vs. a purely big-tech background 

• Preferred: Familiarity with manufacturing systems such as Infor Syteline, ERP platforms, or shop floor and quality systems 

Location 

Fully remote within the United States. May require up to 10% travel to IEM facilities for team collaboration, project kickoffs, and stakeholder meetings.

• Vendor Management: Proven experience working directly with optical vendors, CMOS manufacturers, and CMs to define, build, and test custom camera or sensor modules.
• Hands-On Troubleshooting Mastery: Expert-level proficiency with high-end lab equipment (high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, TDRs). You have a "sixth sense" for tracking down ground loops, EMI noise, and intermittent signal integrity issues.
• Deep Optical & Image Physics: Deep practical understanding of CMOS sensor tuning, optical lens artifacts (flare, ghosting, distortion), and how to physically mitigate them within tight mechanical enclosures.
• System-Level Math & Calibration: Mastery of the linear algebra and 3D geometry underlying multi-camera arrays, stereo baselines, and visual-inertial sensor fusion, with the ability to write scripts (Python/C++) to validate these models on real hardware.
• Drive Through Influence: Exceptional ability to lead technical initiatives and align cross-functional stakeholders (Software, ID, and ME) without direct reporting authority, using empirical data from the lab to drive decisions.
• Agility: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where "perfect" is the enemy of "shipped," knowing exactly when a design is robust enough for the real world.
