About this job

This freelance role centers on building high-fidelity physics simulations of robots, including accurate robot models, simulation environments, and pipelines that help robots learn to walk, grasp, and navigate. It suits engineers experienced with robotics simulators such as MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, or Gazebo who want to narrow the gap between virtual testing and real-world robot behavior. The work is hourly and remote, with written collaboration conducted in English.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement high-fidelity robot models with accurate kinematics, dynamics, and contact properties.
  • Build and maintain simulation pipelines for robot training, testing, and validation.
  • Tune physics parameters such as friction, damping, and actuator models to improve sim-to-real transfer.
  • Integrate simulations with ROS2 for perception, planning, and control workflows.
