Simulation Expert (Real-to-Sim 3D Environments & Assets) — Frontier AI Research & Benchmarking

Operating at the intersection of enterprise data governance and foundation model alignment, ZR Talent Group is conducting an executive search for a distinguished Simulation Expert (Real-to-Sim 3D Environments & Assets) — Frontier AI Research & Benchmarking ($60 - $150/hour). This institutional engagement tasks qualified domain authorities in isaac sim, gazebo, mujoco, unity with establishing empirical benchmark standards, auditing complex model reasoning chains, and validating multi-step autonomous workflows under strict enterprise evaluation criteria.

Operational Scope & Core Responsibilities

• Collaborate with scientists and subject-matter experts to validate accuracy of simulated environments
• Tune physical parameters (mass, friction, collision properties, joint dynamics) so simulated objects behave like their real counterparts
• Troubleshoot discrepancies between simulated and real-world behavior
• Build and configure 3D assets and environments in simulation platforms (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or similar)
• Translate real-world objects and instruments into simulation, matching geometry, scale, material, and physical behavior

Professional Background & Competencies

• Strong collaboration skills working with scientific/technical stakeholders
• Attention to detail in matching real-world fidelity
• Hands-on experience with at least one robotics/physics simulation platform (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, Unity, Unreal, PyBullet, etc.)
• Background in 3D modeling, CAD, or environment design
• Understanding of physics simulation (rigid body dynamics, materials, sensors)

Institutional Remuneration & Contract Specifications

• Compensation Rate: $60 - $150/hour (verified contractor remuneration)
• Work Arrangement: 100% Remote / Work From Home
• Eligible Remote Countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa
• Core Competencies: isaac sim, gazebo, mujoco, unity, unreal, pybullet, 3d modeling, cad, environment design, physics simulation
• Hiring Lead: Nathaniel Cross (Principal AI Placement Director) at ZR Talent Group
