MLops Engineer - Simulation (Universal Robots, Bangalore - India)

Our Purpose

TERADYNE, where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We are fueled by creativity and diversity of thought and in our workforce. Our employees are supported to innovate and learn something new every day. We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all employees that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team – one that makes better decisions, drives innovation and delivers better business results.

Universal Robots, part of Teradyne Robotics, is the world market leader in collaborative robots (cobots), making products that empower our customers and positively transform the way they work. Teradyne Robotics is a division of Teradyne and includes Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). Our global R&D organization of 200+ engineers builds the software and systems behind every cobot we ship.

Opportunity Overview

You will join a team of talented and passionate engineers developing, testing, and optimizing the software and systems that let us simulate our robot platforms and train the models that run on them.

As a DevOps/MLOps Engineer on the Simulation team, you will build and run the infrastructure behind large-scale robot simulation, synthetic data generation, and ML training. Simulating UR cobots and MiR mobile robots at scale depends on reliable GPU compute, fast and repeatable pipelines, and a well-managed lifecycle for data and models — and that is what you will own.

This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, GPU computing, and machine learning operations. You will work with Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and MLOps tooling across cloud and on-premises environments, and collaborate closely with simulation engineers, dataset engineers, research scientists, and the wider R&D organization in Denmark and Bangalore.

Your responsibilities and tasks include:

• Design, build, and maintain cloud and on-premises infrastructure for GPU-heavy simulation, rendering, and ML training workloads.
• Operate container orchestration and job scheduling for large-scale batch simulation and synthetic data generation.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for C++, Python, and web applications, including build caching, artifact management, and release automation.
• Implement MLOps capabilities for experiment tracking, model registry, data versioning, and model deployment.
• Manage storage and data pipelines for terabyte-scale datasets with high-throughput access.
• Implement infrastructure as code, along with monitoring, logging, and alerting across all environments.
• Optimise GPU utilisation and cloud costs, and provide clear visibility of resource usage.
• Ensure security, access control, and compliance best practices across infrastructure and pipelines.
• Support simulation environment versioning so runs are reproducible and traceable.
• Write clean, well-tested, and documented code and configuration, and participate actively in code reviews.
• Partner with simulation, dataset, and research teams to remove infrastructure bottlenecks and speed up iteration.
