Schönaich, Germany
We're looking for a motivated Robot Simulation Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Robotics team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're excited about building physics-accurate robot models and closing the loop between simulation and real hardware — this is where your work makes a direct impact on humanoid robot development.
Import and tune robot models for MuJoCo and Isaac Sim — making sure the simulated robot behaves as close to the physical one as possible
Build ROS2 simulator bridges, including ros2_control sim backends and topic bridging, to connect simulation and real-world control stacks
Calibrate contact and friction parameters against hardware measurements — the detail work that makes simulation physically meaningful rather than just visually convincing
Set up RL training environments using Stable Baselines3 or similar frameworks, enabling motion policy evaluation before hardware is available
Enrolled MSc student in Robotics, Computer Science, or Engineering — with a genuine interest in the intersection of simulation and physical systems
Strong Python skills, with working knowledge of C++ for performance-critical parts
You've worked with MuJoCo and/or Isaac Sim (Omniverse/USD) and know what it takes to get a model behaving realistically
Comfortable with ROS2 basics; experience with simROS2 integration is a plus
Familiar with RL fundamentals — enough to understand what a training environment needs to actually be useful
Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns
Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass
Birthday vouchers
Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)
Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday
Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs
An international team with long-term prospects
Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth
Modern office space
