Senior Software Engineer - Isaac for Healthcare

The Senior Software Engineer will design and implement high-performance soft-tissue simulation modules for Isaac for Healthcare, focusing on real-time and near real-time use cases. They will develop and integrate state-of-the-art algorithms, including FEM and MPM variants, building upon the Newton physics simulation engine and evaluating trade-offs for surgical interactions. Responsibilities include prototyping and productizing GPU-accelerated kernels and optimized C++ backends with Python bindings, as well as prototyping workflows with deep-learning frameworks for Physics AI models. The role involves integrating simulation components with Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab for robotics/RL training and data generation, collaborating with other teams to translate clinical requirements into simulation features, and building examples, documentation, and tutorials. Additionally, the engineer will mentor junior engineers and work with external partners to validate models against experimental or clinical data.
