(H/F) AI & Control Senior Engineer - Modeling & Simulation

Join Wandercraft, a leading company in advanced bipedal robotics. As a Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and evolving our simulation environment. This environment will support control development, large-scale experimentation, and machine learning workflows. You will collaborate with various R&D teams and contribute to improving the realism, robustness, and performance of our simulation tools.

• Développer et faire évoluer l'environnement de simulation pour améliorer le réalisme physique et la fidélité des modèles.
• Optimiser les performances et l'évolutivité de la simulation pour permettre des tests et des campagnes d'apprentissage à grande échelle.
• Collaborer avec les équipes de contrôle et d'apprentissage automatique pour faciliter l'utilisation de la simulation pour le développement et la validation des algorithmes.
• Diploma: Master’s Degree / PhD
• Required experience: 5+ years in robotics, simulation, or a related field

• Academic experience will be valued, particularly in relation to **robotics simulation, physical modeling, machine learning, optimal control, or related fields**.
• Creativity, innovation: you are able to develop new things with a limited existing base and to make prototypes (personal or professional robotics projects are highly appreciated).
• You have an interest in experimentation and adapting algorithms and tools to the constraints of real systems and commercial robotic products.
• You have experience in **software development (Python/C++)**.
• You have experience in **team software development** (modularity, responding to specifications, continuous integration, etc.).
• You are comfortable with **linear algebra (matrix calculations), kinematics, and physical modeling** (reference frame changes, dynamics, contact modeling, etc.).
• Experience with **robotics simulation tools or physics engines** (e.g., MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, Gazebo, Drake, Bullet, etc.) is a strong plus.
• You are rigorous, able to proofread your work and explain your models, calculations, or algorithms clearly.
• You are curious and have good analytical skills, enabling you to monitor technological developments effectively and learn from scientific literature or meetings at conferences.
