Ph3bYour mission challenges /b /h3 pWe are looking for the owner of how our robots are represented in software: the single source of truth that connects mechanical design to simulation and control. You will be accountable for the fidelity of our robot description (URDF) and for building the modeling foundation the rest of our robotics stack relies on. Should have excellent understanding of material and mechanics. You shall challenge and give inputs to mechanical design. /p pThis capability is being built from the ground up. You will define it rather than inherit it: you set the standards, build the pipeline, and own model quality end to end. /p pThis is a hands‑on but strategic role. You will not necessarily produce the CAD, but you will own everything from CAD through to a validated, simulation‑ready model, and you will be the reference point across the mechanical, controls, and software teams. /p ul liRobot description fidelity, end to end: be the single point of accountability for our URDF and xacro models and the conventions behind them /li liThe modeling foundation, built from scratch: define the CAD‑to‑URDF pipeline, the naming and coordinate‑frame conventions, and the version control practices that do not yet exist here /li liPhysical consistency between design and model: ensure mass, inertia, and kinematic structure in the URDF reconcile with the source CAD and the real hardware /li liThe validation strategy: define how models are checked in simulation and against the physical robots, so that errors surface during modeling rather than downstream /li liCAD modeling standards: set and enforce them in partnership with the mechanical team, so designs flow cleanly into simulation‑ready models /li liAutomation: build the tooling that makes model generation repeatable and removes manual, error‑prone steps /li /ul h3bWhat we can look forward to /b /h3 pbMust‑have: /b /p ul liDegree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field, with the judgment to design a modeling system rather than only execute tasks /li liProven experience authoring and owning URDF from scratch / xacro models for real robots /li liStrong foundation in rigid‑body kinematics and dynamics, coordinate frames, and mass and inertia properties /li liMechanical design experience in robotics /li liFluent at reading CAD assemblies and extracting physical properties (Creo (desired), SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or similar) /li liProficiency in Python and C++ for scripting and automation, with sound software engineering habits: version control, modular and maintainable code, and basic testing /li liComfortable building tooling, standards, and simulation pipelines from scratch in an early‑stage environment /li /ul pbNice‑to‑have: /b /p ul liExperience with simulation platforms (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo) /li liC++ for performance‑critical tooling, and experience integrating modeling into CI /li liExperience with humanoid, legged, or other complex multi‑limb robots /li liExperience with ROS or ROS 2 /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
