Principal Software Engineer

Comrise is a global medical technology and manufacturing company, and they are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to lead the development of a digital twin environment for advanced robotics applications. The role involves migrating existing simulation environments and collaborating with various teams to create a simulation-based evaluation framework for robotic systems.

Responsibilities:

• Migrate the assets from the existing OR simulator to Isaac Sim using its import and scene definition capabilities, including the robot, the operating table, sawbone and tracking instrument models
• Set up an articulation controller to control joint positions of the robot. Connect the simulation to ROS2 to use already existing functionality for controlling the robot
• Evaluate the use of Isaac Sim for OR layout optimization and implement or extend missing features needed to support basic layout, access, collision, and workflow studies
• Develop a physics model for tool-tissue interaction to accurately model bone resection and tissue manipulation
• Integrate a variety of sensor models into the simulation

Requirements:

• Candidates should possess a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience and typically have 8+ years of relevant professional experience
• Solid background with Python programming in a Linux environment
• Experience with robotics hardware development and CAD modeling
• Exposure to simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, Webots, Unity, MATLAB/Simulink, NVIDIA Isaac Sim)
• Experience with physics modeling and simulation
• Experience with Omniverse and USD workflows preferred
• Experience with articulated robot simulation preferred
• Experience with edge computing preferred
• Robotics controls background and working knowledge of ROS2 preferred
