Software Engineer – Robotics Design Simulation (Senior to Principal)
About The Position
As a Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the development of simulation systems and tools responsible for supporting the design, development, qualification, and deployment of large scale integrated robotic systems for our customers. We are looking for a versatile and intellectually curious Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of simulation engineering and data science. This role is ideal for someone who can architect and build simulation systems, while also transforming real-world production data into meaningful experiments, generating synthetic datasets, and automating the analysis pipeline to extract actionable insights. We are hiring across multiple levels from Senior through Principal. Final level will be determined based on experience, technical expertise, and scope of impact. You’ll be part of a cross-functional team that blends software engineering, system design, and data science to drive strategic decisions and optimize complex systems.
Requirements
- A Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline provides the academic foundation for success; equivalent experience with a Bachelor’s degree will also be considered.
- Minimum of 5 years of software engineering skills with deep technical expertise including simulation environments and optimization solutions.
- Solid foundation in computer science fundamentals : algorithms, data structures, object-oriented design.
- Experience with data transformation, ETL pipelines, and data wrangling using tools like Pandas, NumPy, or SQL.
- Familiarity with the current state-of-the-art and ability to draw upon a wealth of technical experience to drive difficult and impactful technological design decisions
- Direct experience with data science workflows: experimentation, statistical analysis, and visualization.
- Ability to understand and architect a modern hierarchical simulation system for a complex Software system with varying levels of fidelity for a variety of applications
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively represent the derived results and technical concepts to leadership team.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with ML and cloud computing models and tools for training in simulation
Responsibilities
- Develop faster than real-time and optimized simulation tools and environments for driving key design decisions for new systems and products
