About the Position

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Simulation & Digital Twin Software Expert to join our Robotics & Autonomous Systems team and help shape the future of industrial automation. In this role, you will design and implement simulation and digital twin solutions for industrial machines and material handling systems, enabling the development, validation, and optimization of innovative automation technologies before deployment in real-world environments.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement end-to-end simulation and digital twin models for conveyors, industrial machines, and material handling systems.
Design and maintain software-in-the-loop environments for validation, testing, and behavior design of automation solutions.
Create and test simulation assets that model machine behavior, sensors, actuators, and industrial process flows.
Integrate simulation and digital twin solutions into development workflows to support efficient sim-to-real deployment.
Research and evaluate emerging technologies within simulation, digital twins, physics-based modeling, and virtual commissioning.
Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams across software engineering, machine control, robotics, system architecture, and mechatronics.
Support validation, optimization, and continuous improvement of simulation models to ensure accurate representation of real-world systems.
Contribute to the development of next-generation Physical AI and autonomous systems solutions.

Requirements

Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Simulation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
More than 5 years of experience developing simulation software, digital twins, software-in-the-loop environments, or physics-based system modeling.
Experience developing simulations based on existing hardware and machine systems.
Ability to create realistic models of physical behavior and system interactions, while choosing an appropriate level of modelling detail.
Experience with physics-based, real-time, or system-level simulation.
Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or similar is considered an advantage.
Hands-on programming skills in Python and C++.
Knowledge of machine control architectures, industrial communication systems, and real-time interfaces is considered an advantage.
Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a structured way of working.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in international and cross-functional teams.
Fluent English skills, both written and spoken.
Willingness to travel occasionally (10%) for collaboration with international teams, partners, and customers.

We Offer

Exciting tasks in a fast-growing, future-oriented industry player.
Competitive salary package, with extra-days off, including your birthday, flexible working hours and remote work option.
Health insurance for the whole family.
Well-Being and Employee Assistance Program.
Active protocols with external partners and other caring perks (ex: fresh fruit, bread and yogurt).
A pleasant and collaborative working atmosphere.
