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
• Some C++ exposure

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 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:

The Data Engineering Team works closely with other teams—neuroscientists, physicists, roboticists, chip designers, pathologists, and mechanical engineers—to build Neuralink’s centralized data aggregation and analysis platform. This data platform collects, organizes, and visualizes a diverse set of data ranging from neural signal recordings and brain histology images to microfabrication manufacturing data. Our team owns projects that drive engineering and experimentation at Neuralink.

We operate like an internal startup – rapidly prototyping and building software that solves problems for the company. If you are obsessed with smooth user experience and love to iterate rapidly on software, you may be a good fit for this role!

 See a talk on our data platform, Neuralake, below:

Job Description and Responsibilities:

As a Software Engineer on the Data Engineering Team, you will have the opportunity to impact engineering and experimentation at Neuralink. You will fully own and drive projects, from interfacing with stakeholders and gathering requirements, to delivering exceptional software.

The Role

Our commercial segment — companies with up to 250 employees — is predominantly developer- and engineer-led. These buyers don't respond to decks and discovery scripts. They respond to someone who speaks their language, understands their architecture, and can help them think through a real problem. That's who we're hiring.

As a Commercial Account Executive at ClickHouse, you'll own the full sales cycle for inbound, product-led, and self-serve accounts in this segment. You'll engage with data engineers, platform teams, and technical founders at the moment they're evaluating ClickHouse for a real use case — and your job is to help them succeed, faster. The best deals in this segment don't feel like sales. They feel like an engineering consultation that ends in a contract.

Our commercial customers include companies like Circle, Flashbots, Blockworks, Cypress.io, Kit, Whop, Coframe, Shaped, and janitorai — developer-first products that chose ClickHouse because they needed something that could handle billions of events without slowing down their users. The best deals in this segment don't feel like sales. They feel like an engineering consultation that ends in a contract.

This is a role for technically strong people who are ready to own a number. Prior closing experience is not required — but technical credibility is non-negotiable.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own the full sales cycle from inbound lead to close for accounts in the sub-250 employee segment, with a focus on speed, technical depth, and conversion quality.
• Engage directly with data engineers, platform architects, and technical founders to understand their use cases, data volumes, query patterns, and infrastructure requirements — and map those to ClickHouse capabilities.
• Troubleshoot schema design questions, ingestion patterns, and integration challenges during the evaluation process; serve as a trusted technical advisor rather than a traditional sales rep.
• Identify expansion opportunities within the existing self-serve and product-led customer base; convert usage signals into meaningful commercial relationships.
• Partner with Solutions Engineers on more complex evaluations, and advocate for customer needs internally with Product and Engineering.
• Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene — documenting technical context, decision criteria, stakeholders, and next steps in Salesforce so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Contribute to playbooks, technical objection handling guides, and onboarding materials that help the team scale what's working.
• Participate in developer community events, technical meetups, and online forums where our users naturally gather.

What You Bring

• A technical foundation that earns respect in engineering conversations — built through experience as a data engineer, solutions engineer/architect, software engineer, or similar role.
• Comfort with the modern data stack: columnar databases, streaming ingestion (Kafka, Kinesis), cloud infrastructure, and SQL-heavy analytics workflows. Hands-on experience with ClickHouse, DuckDB, Druid, Pinot, BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar is a strong plus.
• Some customer-facing experience — whether in pre-sales, technical account management, solutions engineering, or a customer-success capacity. You've navigated technical conversations with real stakes before.
• An instinct for moving quickly. This segment runs on short cycles. You know how to drive urgency without being pushy, and how to remove technical blockers that stall deals.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You can simplify complex concepts without dumbing them down, and you write clearly enough that your emails actually get responses from engineers.
• Curiosity about the business side of technology. You're interested in understanding why companies buy, not just what they're building.
• Ownership mentality. You're comfortable operating with autonomy, making judgment calls without a playbook, and learning from what doesn't work.

Why This Role Is Different

Most AE roles are execution roles. This one is a craft role. You'll build deep product knowledge, learn how high-growth companies architect for scale, and develop commercial skills in an environment where your technical instincts are your biggest competitive advantage. For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to bridge two worlds — and get paid competitively to do it.

• Test Equipment Operation: Operate and configure dynamometer, benchtop, and custom test setups. Manage fixture configurations and load motor modes across different actuator and gearbox variants.
• Cross-Stack Root-Cause Analysis: Diagnose actuator performance issues spanning firmware, electrical, and mechanical domains using structured, data-driven reasoning. Provide clear, actionable feedback to design teams.
• System Identification: Apply system identification techniques to characterize actuator dynamics — including inertia, friction, bandwidth, and torque constant — providing data that supports both hardware validation and simulation fidelity.
• Collaboration & Reporting: Work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and controls engineers. Communicate test results, failure modes, and recommendations clearly to engineering and program leadership.
