## Description

The Simulation Infrastructure Engineer will design, build, automate, and support the compute and platform environments used to develop and execute simulation, digital twin, robotics, and autonomy workloads.

The role combines strong software engineering with cloud, container, GPU, and operational expertise. The engineer will create reliable, repeatable, and observable infrastructure that supports local development, shared environments, demonstrations, continuous integration, and large-scale simulation execution., * Design, implement, and support simulation infrastructure across AWS, Azure, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

 * Build reusable infrastructure and platform automation using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm, scripting, and configuration management practices.
 * Create deployment patterns for simulation services, GPU workloads, NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, Unreal Engine, and supporting tools.
 * Implement simulation workload scheduling, resource allocation, queueing, isolation, retries, and capacity management across CPU and GPU environments.
 * Support GPU and high-performance compute infrastructure, including drivers, container runtimes, resource visibility, scheduling, and performance troubleshooting.
 * Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for simulation builds, tests, containers, infrastructure, packaging, artifacts, and environment promotion.
 * Implement monitoring, logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting, auditability, and operational runbooks for simulation environments.
 * Improve platform reliability, availability, scalability, security, cost visibility, and recovery through automation and engineering standards.
 * Build self-service tooling and reusable environment templates for simulation developers and test teams.
 * Partner with runtime, scenario framework, rendering, digital twin, robotics, autonomy, and QA engineers to resolve deployment and integration issues.
 * Support simulation packaging, artifact repositories, dependency management, release workflows, and reproducible environment creation.
 * Participate in design reviews, code reviews, incident analysis, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement activities.
 * Document infrastructure architecture, operational procedures, interfaces, dependencies, and support expectations.
