Robotics Simulation Engineer

Rapyuta Robotics, an ETH Zurich startup headquartered in Tokyo, aspires to become the global leader in making robots more accessible. We currently lead the pick-assist AMR market in Japan and have secured investments from reputable backers, including Goldman Sachs, Sony, and Yaskawa.

As we establish a global hub in Chennai as an independent center to facilitate our global expansion, we're seeking a Simulation Lead. Your role will be crucial in leading and scaling simulation capabilities that support product development and business analysis. You will define strategy for where and how simulations run, develop ROS supported fleet simulation for complex multi-robot systems, and build transparent simulation experiences with strong feedback loops that enable decision-grade outputs
