## Description (the employer's text)

### WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

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.

### HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

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

### WHO YOU ARE

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

### WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

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
