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

Join Wandercraft, a pioneering 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, enabling faster iteration and more reliable testing of our robotic systems. You will collaborate closely with other R&D teams and contribute to improving the realism, robustness, and performance of our simulation tools.

Academic experience will be valued, particularly in relation to robotics simulation, physical modeling, machine learning, optimal control, or related fields.
