Simulation Engineer (gn) NVIDIA Omniverse (Dresden)

This role sits at the intersection of simulation, robotics, and industrial software. You will help shape how customer-ready simulation environments are built and used at Wandelbots, while contributing directly to real industrial applications and the further development of our NOVA-based ecosystem.

Activities

Simulation Scene Building

• Build high-fidelity simulation scenes for industrial robotics use cases in NVIDIA Omniverse/Isaac Sim
• Turn CAD data into clean, simulation-ready assets and structured scene setups
• Prepare simulation environments that are technically robust, maintainable, and ready for project use

Kinematization & Virtual Commissioning

• Kinematize grippers, fixtures, and production equipment to make them functional in simulation
• Set up technically correct simulation models and support virtual commissioning workflows
• Help close the gap between virtual validation and real-world deployment and execution by keeping simulation behavior practical and application-oriented

Wandelbots NOVA & Simulation Tooling

• Work with the Wandelbots NOVA Extension to integrate Wandelbots technology into customer simulation projects
• Help build and improve Isaac Sim extensions and simulation tools that make project delivery faster and more scalable
• Use modern AI-assisted tools to support your daily engineering work and improve efficiency in development and project execution

Requirements

You have hands-on experience in robotics simulation and enjoy working at the intersection of industrial automation, 3D simulation, and software. Ideally, you bring:

• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Omniverse resp. Isaac Sim, or comparable simulation environments
• Solid CAD knowledge and an understanding of how to prepare engineering data for simulation
• Experience in virtual commissioning and a good understanding of simulation in industrial automation contexts
• Confidence in kinematization and in setting up technically correct simulation models
• A basic understanding of OpenUSD and awareness of the sim-to-real gap
• A structured, practical, and solution-oriented way of working

Programming skills, especially in Python, as well as experience with Git and collaborative development workflows, are a plus.

What Else Is Important

• German language skills at B2 level or above
• English language skills at B2 level or above
• Willingness to regularly work on-site at customer locations and support commissioning activities
• Enjoyment of working across different teams, including Software Development, Robotics, Product, and Customer Projects

Your profile is particularly interesting to us if …

• You enjoy working directly with customers, software developers, and automation specialists
• You want to do more than just experiment with new technologies and are motivated to bring them into real production environments
• You are interested in building reusable simulation workflows, not just one-off project setups
• You enjoy combining hands-on engineering work with scalable tooling and extension development

Team

You will work across different teams, including Software Development, Robotics, Product, and Customer Projects.
