SimReady Asset Validation Specialist (USD/Omniverse) - Full Remote Global

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Join a forward-thinking organization at the forefront of industrial digital transformation, where you'll define and operationalize asset standards that power the next generation of simulation, digital twins, and AI training workflows. This is a unique role that combines 3D artistry with technical validation expertise, positioning you as the guardian of quality for simulation-ready assets used across robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial applications. You'll work with cutting-edge NVIDIA technologies and establish the foundation for scalable, reusable asset ecosystems that serve multiple high-impact use cases. This position offers the rare opportunity to shape standards and processes from the ground up, working with cross-functional teams spanning engineering, AI, robotics, and digital twin architecture in a fully remote, global environment where your expertise will directly influence how industrial simulations are built and deployed.

PROJECT & CONTEXT

You will be responsible for ensuring that 3D assets meet NVIDIA SimReady specifications and are fit for use in physically accurate simulation, digital twins, AI training, and synthetic data generation workflows. Your work will focus on validating assets against comprehensive criteria including geometry, materials, physics properties, semantics, and metadata. You'll design and implement a standardized SimReady asset lifecycle process covering creation, ingestion, validation, and publishing, while establishing quality gates, checklists, and acceptance criteria. The role requires you to perform compliance checks on assets for Omniverse-based simulations, identify non-compliance issues, and provide corrective guidance to asset creators and suppliers. You'll also create, adapt, and optimize 3D assets to be SimReady-compliant, ensuring they meet performance, scalability, and cross-platform requirements. This position sits at the critical intersection of 3D content creation, simulation engineering, and industrial digital transformation, where you'll act as the subject matter expert for SimReady standards and support partners, vendors, and external providers in meeting these requirements.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Required)

• Strong 3D Artist or Technical Artist background with proven experience in industrial or real-time 3D content creation
• Hands-on proficiency with DCC tools including Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, or equivalent applications
• Solid expertise in PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, shaders, lighting systems, UV mapping, topology optimization, and performance tuning techniques
• USD (Universal Scene Description) experience including practical work with asset pipelines and USD-based workflows
• NVIDIA Omniverse familiarity and understanding of SimReady concepts or equivalent simulation-ready asset standards
• Physics-based simulation knowledge covering colliders, mass properties, joints, articulation systems, and material behaviors
• Standards and validation process experience including defining quality gates and validation frameworks
• Process translation skills with ability to convert technical specifications into repeatable, operational workflows
• Strong attention to detail and asset quality assurance mindset with systematic validation approaches
• Clear technical communication abilities to effectively engage both creative and engineering stakeholders
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration experience working effectively in international, distributed teams
• Documentation capabilities for creating clear, structured standards, guidelines, and validation reports
• English language proficiency for technical documentation, stakeholder communication, and standards definition

NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)

• Robotics and ADAS simulation experience including work with synthetic data generation or AI training pipelines
• CAD-to-USD workflow knowledge and practical experience with industrial asset preparation and conversion
• Python scripting experience for validation automation, pipeline tools, or quality assurance workflows
• Industry 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing exposure including work with infrastructure digital twins or industrial digitalization projects
• Experience with asset lifecycle management systems and versioning workflows
• Knowledge of simulation validation methodologies and ground-truth comparison techniques
• Familiarity with Omniverse Kit, Composer, or Create applications and their asset requirements
• Understanding of semantic annotation and metadata schemas for AI training datasets
• Experience with large-scale asset library management and governance frameworks
• Background in automotive, manufacturing, or robotics industries with domain-specific asset requirements
• Knowledge of MDL (Material Definition Language) or advanced shader creation
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for automated asset validation and quality checks
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git, Perforce) for 3D asset management
