Software Engineering Intern, Physics Simulation - 2026

This internship is based in Zurich, Switzerland.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Collaborate with lead robotics and simulation engineers to develop a new feature or integration prototype.
• Test and validate the prototype in experiments using our robotics software stacks and/or robotic hardware.
• Work in a large code base in a team of senior engineers.

What We Need to See:

• Pursuing an MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Physics, or related field.
• Proficient analytical abilities, especially in analysis, linear algebra, numerical algorithms, and physics.
• Advanced skills in Python and C++ programming.
• Ability to independently and efficiently debug code.
• Solid foundation in software engineering best practices.
• Capability for self-directed work and persistence when faced with complex problems.

Ways to Stand Out From The Crowd:

• In-depth knowledge of physics engines like PhysX, MuJoCo, or Newton.
• Hands-on experience with robotic manipulation and deep learning techniques for robotics.
• Experience with NVIDIA’s robotics software stack, such as Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Warp and CUDA programming.
