Senior Software Engineer - Simulation

Role Description

Mayo Clinic is building one of the most ambitious digital twin and simulation programs in healthcare, anchored in the Bold. Forward. Unbound. campus transformation initiative. As a Simulation Engineer on the Omniverse Platform team, you will design, develop, and operationalize real-time 3D simulation environments that represent Mayo Clinic's physical campuses, clinical workflows, and medical research scenarios.

You will work at the intersection of enterprise technology and clinical innovation, translating complex facility, operational, and research data into living digital models. Your work will directly support space planning, surgical and procedural simulation, equipment optimization, and research into human-machine interaction in clinical environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Simulation 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.
