Key ResponsibilitiesSimulation Development & Engineering Design, build, and maintain real-time simulation environments within NVIDIA Omniverse, including USD-based scene construction, physics simulation, and rendering pipelines
Develop custom Omniverse extensions, connectors, and microservices to integrate Mayo Clinic data sources (BIM, IoT, EHR-adjacent operational data) into simulation contexts
Implement autonomous agent behaviors, crowd simulation, and workflow modeling for clinical and facilities scenarios
Optimize simulation performance for real-time use cases including mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) delivery
Platform Integration & Data Engineering Build and maintain pipelines that synchronize physical-world data (sensor feeds, spatial data, operational metrics) with digital twin representations
Collaborate with infrastructure, data engineering, and enterprise architecture teams to ensure simulation workloads are aligned with Azure cloud infrastructure and Mayo Clinic platform standards
Integrate Omniverse with enterprise systems including Autodesk Revit, Bentley, Epic (EHR), and IoT/SCADA platforms as applicable
Research & Clinical Collaboration Partner with clinical, research, and facilities stakeholders to translate real-world requirements into simulation use cases and fidelity specifications
Support surgical training, procedural simulation, and human factors research through development of anatomically and operationally accurate virtual environments
Contribute to Mayo Clinic's research publication pipeline through simulation methodology documentation and collaboration with research teams
Platform Governance & Standards Establish and enforce simulation engineering standards, asset management practices, and version control protocols for the Omniverse environment
Contribute to architecture review processes, ensuring simulation platform design aligns with enterprise security, compliance, and scalability requirements
Mentor junior engineers and develop internal capability in real-time 3D simulation technologies
