About this role

Senior Simulation Engineer I/II, Robotics Cambridge, MA USA Your Impact at LILA Lila Sciences is building autonomous science platforms that compress the cycle time of scientific discovery. The Next Gen Robotics team, within the Robotics department, is building the foundational simulation and robotic infrastructure that will power the AI Science Factory (AISF) at our 5AP facility. As we ramp toward first science later this year, simulation is becoming a load-bearing capability across both robotics production and orchestration. We are looking for a Simulation Engineer to help establish the foundation of our simulation platform. You will be a core technical contributor shaping how we design, build, and scale virtual environments - from individual scene authoring to automated, headless data generation pipelines. You will work across the full simulation stack: scene infrastructure, physics and sensor fidelity, programmatic scene construction, and sim-to-real transfer workflows. This is a high-impact, foundational role on a team being built from the ground up. You will have significant influence over tooling decisions, architectural patterns, and best practices, and your work will directly de-risk robotics development and accelerate throughput modeling for orchestration. What You'll Be Building - Design and maintain modular, reusable simulation scene libraries using well-structured USD (Universal Scene Description), including proper use of references, payloads, variants, layers, and composition arcs. - Build Python-based tooling and automation around the Omniverse Kit API ( omni.usd , omni.kit , omni.replicator ) to enable programmatic scene construction, editing, and batch processing, including headless Isaac Sim workflows for large-scale automated simulation runs
