The posting

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

We are seeking a Simulation Engineer to develop simulation technology for physical AI and robotics applications. In this role, you will develop simulation algorithms spanning many-body dynamics and finite element analysis, with a particular emphasis on contact algorithms, and validate their performance on robotics hardware. Working at the intersection of simulation and real-world deployment, you will connect numerical methods with practical robotics applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop simulation algorithms for physical AI and robotics applications, including many-body dynamics and finite element analysis.
  • Develop and refine contact algorithms to model physical interactions in robotics scenarios.
  • Validate simulation algorithms on robotics hardware and use experimental results to guide improvements.
  • Evaluate simulation behavior against real-world deployment scenarios to identify and address differences between simulated and hardware results.
  • Apply control theory and controller optimization and tuning methods to support simulation and hardware validation, as applicable.

Required Qualifications

  • Degree in mechanical engineering, computer science, or a related discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD in mechanical engineering, computer science, or a related discipline.
  • Expertise spanning both numerical methods or simulation and practical robotics deployment scenarios.
  • Experience with many-body dynamics, finite element analysis, and contact algorithms.
  • Experience validating simulation algorithms on robotics hardware.
  • Expertise in control theory and controller optimization and tuning.

The annual salary range for California is $119,000 to $221,000. You may also be eligible to receive incentive compensation: bonus, equity, and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
