The Role
MI-RA (Multimodal Intelligence for Real-World Applications) Lab at iHub is one of India's most complete synchronized multimodal capture and compute labs: a 16-camera volumetric rig, OptiTrack motion capture, LiDAR, mmWave radar, an anechoic audio array, and a full physiological suite, all bound to a single master clock. We turn that captured reality into digital twins, sim-to-real training data, and validated Physical AI for partners across healthcare, robotics, manufacturing, and mobility.
We are hiring a Simulation Engineer to build the virtual side of this pipeline. We seek candidates with experience in mechanical and physical simulation (Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics , and multiphysics simulation), systems and process simulation (Discrete-Event Simulation, robotics simulation, and process control simulation), or electronics and software simulation (Circuit/Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) simulation, digital twin development, and physics-based simulation).
The role will involve building digital twins, working on physics simulation,



3D reconstruction, robotics simulation, and the engagement in NVIDIA Physical AI stack.
Responsibilities:
·Digital twins. Building digital twins of factory cells, clinical spaces, and outdoor scenes from MI-RA capture data, and keeping them in sync with the physical world.
· Simulation and Sim-to-Real. Setting up robotics and human-in-the-loop simulations, running sim-to-real experiments, and measuring the gap between simulated and measured behaviour.
· 3D reconstruction. Reconstructing scenes from multi-view video and sensor data (Gaussian Splatting, NeRF-family methods, neural reconstruction) and preparing them for downstream training.
·Data plumbing. Wiring real-time and batch data pipelines from lab sensors, ROS 2, and industrial protocols into the simulator, with proper schema and provenance discipline.
·Validation. Running validation on synthetic and generated data: temporal alignment, calibra
