Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. TD SYNNEX North America is building real‑world Physical AI systems where learning agents interact with physical machines. The Physical AI Engineer will build and deploy advanced simulation and synthetic data systems for robotics, driving innovation with reinforcement learning and collaborating with experts to shape the future of intelligent robotics.
Responsibilities
- Build high‑fidelity, physics‑based simulation environments in NVIDIA Omniverse / Isaac Sim for training and evaluating robotic agents
- Design and run reinforcement learning and imitation learning pipelines using simulation‑generated and synthetic data
- Train and tune policies for control, planning, and decision‑making, emphasizing robustness and sim‑to‑real performance
- Integrate foundation models (GPT‑class, Claude / Opus, multimodal models) to support reasoning, task decomposition, or human‑in‑the‑loop learning
- Drive simulation‑to‑real transfer, ensuring learned behaviors perform reliably on physical robotic systems
- Collaborate with robotics, controls, and perception engineers to deploy learning‑based systems end to end
Skills
- 5–8+ years of experience in robotics, reinforcement learning, simulation, or applied machine learning
- Strong hands‑on experience with reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or learning‑based control
- Proven experience building and training agents in simulation environments (synthetic data, domain randomization, curriculum learning)
- Experience working in the NVIDIA ecosystem (Omniverse, Isaac Sim, USD pipelines strongly preferred)
- Experience applying or integrating foundation models (e.g., GPT‑based or Claude / Opus‑style models) into robotics or decision‑making workflows
- Strong Python skills; ability to build and scale training pipelines
- Builder mindset with a track record of moving learning systems from experiment to deployment
- Must have hands-on experience training robotic agents or systems (in simulation and/or real-world environments)
- Model‑free or model‑based RL at scale
- Sim‑to‑real transfer techniques (domain randomization, system ID, hybrid control)
- Physics engines, real‑time systems, or robotics middleware
- Experience operationalizing learned policies on physical robots
