Senior Software Engineer (gn) Simulation

Your mission

Here at Wandelbots we want to accelerate the development of robotic applications for any articulated robot imaginable. As a Simulation Expert, you will help us simulate robot behaviors, workspaces, and automation processes to ensure safe and efficient deployment of our solutions. You will play a key role in building and integrating simulation capabilities into our software platform. 

Your Responsibilities: 

• Develop, integrate, and maintain realistic simulations of robotic systems and work cells

• Build 3D models of robots, end-effectors, and workspaces using simulation tools (e.g., NVIDIA Omniverse & Isaac Sim, Blender, ProcessSimulate, Gazebo, etc.)

• Collaborate with robotics engineers and software developers to integrate simulation results into our product ecosystem

• Support validation, testing, and optimization of robot motions and behaviors in simulated environments

• Work on the creation of digital twins and virtual commissioning setups

• Research and implement state-of-the-art simulation algorithms for kinematics, dynamics, and collision detection

• Continuously improve simulation realism, performance, and accuracy

• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing sessions

Your profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

• Several years of professional experience in robotics simulation, digital twins, or virtual environments

• Hands-on experience with one or more leading simulation frameworks (preferably NVIDIA Omniverse & Isaac Sim, but also Blender, ProcessSimulate, Gazebo, or similar)

• Solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and collision detection

• Strong programming skills in at least one of the following languages: Python, C++, .Net

• Familiarity with real-time simulation and physics engines

• Knowledge of robot control systems and articulated robot behavior

• Experience with version control systems like Git

• Proactive, self-driven personality with strong problem-solving skills

• Fluent in English (German is a plus)

Awesome if you have: 

• Previous experience with industrial robots and automation systems

• Knowledge of ROS / ROS2 and integration with simulation environments

• Experience with cloud-based simulation platforms and rendering pipelines

• Familiarity with machine learning applications in simulation or robotics

• Experience with 3D modeling, rendering, and scene setup
