Simulation Expert, Real-to-Sim 3D Environments and Assets

Role Overview

Help train next-generation AI systems by creating high-fidelity 3D simulation environments and assets that accurately reflect real-world objects, instruments, materials, and physical behavior. This remote contract role focuses on advanced simulation and AI training, and prior AI experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and configure 3D assets and environments in Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or similar simulation platforms.
• Translate real-world objects and instruments into simulations, matching geometry, scale, material properties, and physical behavior.
• Collaborate with scientists and subject-matter experts to validate simulated-environment accuracy.
• Tune mass, friction, collision properties, and joint dynamics so simulated objects behave like their real counterparts.
• Troubleshoot differences between simulated and real-world behavior.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with at least one robotics or physics simulation platform, such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, Unity, Unreal, or PyBullet.
• Background in 3D modeling, CAD, or environment design.
• Understanding of physics simulation, including rigid body dynamics, materials, and sensors.
• Strong collaboration skills when working with scientific and technical stakeholders.
• Close attention to detail when matching real-world fidelity.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.

Compensation

• $60 to $150 per hour.
