About the Position

System Software Engineer (gn) Cloud & Simulation

Location: Dresden, Germany

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

At Wandelbots, we are building NOVA, a platform that makes industrial robot programming accessible to everyone. Our Simulation team develops technologies that allow partners, customers, and internal teams to work with photorealistic digital twins of real production environments. This includes transforming real-world scans into usable 3D scenes through Gaussian Splatting and a browser-based streaming platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim.

Your mission is to internalize and externalize these technologies, making them reproducible, documented solutions that can be operated independently by teams and partners.

Responsibilities

Build and operate GPU infrastructure required by simulation workloads
Integrate simulation workloads into shared Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure
Make deployments declarative and reproducible using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps
Design scheduling and autoscaling for latency-sensitive and compute-intensive jobs
Turn the Gaussian Splatting pipeline into a reproducible workflow
Operate and extend our Omniverse and Isaac Sim streaming platform
Establish the platform as an internal standard and prepare it for external operation
Build meaningful observability using metrics, logs, GPU telemetry, and actionable alerting
Define the simulation-specific security and access model
Collaborate with robotics, product, and platform teams

Requirements

Experience building or operating production systems in platform engineering, infrastructure, SRE, DevOps, or systems software
Practical Kubernetes experience, including resource management, workload scheduling, and debugging distributed systems under load
Experience with Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and CI/CD
Solid knowledge of Linux, containers, and networking
Good Python skills for automation, services, and data-processing workflows
Experience with GPU workloads, or a strong technical foundation and interest in working with drivers, CUDA, and GPU scheduling
Strong sense of operational ownership, including documentation, diagnostics, maintainability, and reproducibility
Very good English; German is a plus

Nice to Have

Experience turning an internally developed system into a product for customer-controlled environments
Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, Kit SDK, or OpenUSD
Experience with Gaussian Splatting, NeRF, photogrammetry, or comparable 3D reconstruction pipelines
Knowledge of WebRTC, pixel streaming, or other low-latency video technologies
Python, Rust, or Go skills sufficient to contribute to existing services and infrastructure tooling
Experience with robotics or simulation, such as ROS 2 or sim-to-real workflows
Experience with multi-tenant platforms, air-gapped deployments, or customer environments with specific security and compliance requirements
