Senior Software Engineer, Simulation

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Extend the simulation environment: integration with the production autonomy stack, vehicle and actor models
• ▹Maintain and improve the integration as the autonomy stack evolves
• ▹Build and operate cloud-based scenario execution: orchestration, parallelism, result aggregation
• ▹Build the evaluation layer that turns a run into a verdict
• ▹Build failure-triage tooling: failure clustering, per-failure recordings, dashboards
• ▹Extend scenario authoring tooling for the V&V team, across backend and frontend
• ▹Maintain simulation foundations: determinism, reproducibility, pipeline performance, map/site coverage

Requirements

• ▹Bachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
• ▹Strong Python, with a track record of maintainable code in a shared codebase
• ▹Hands-on simulation experience for autonomous systems (e.g. CARLA, Applied Intuition, Foretellix, NVIDIA Omniverse, IsaacSim, Gazebo, or a proprietary simulator)
• ▹Working knowledge of simulation, modelling and validation methodology
• ▹Docker and Linux, distributed-systems fundamentals, GPU-based simulation environment experience
• ▹CI/CD and cloud execution, integrating automated test workflows into CI
• ▹Experience analyzing simulation output and telemetry to identify bottlenecks and failure modes
• ▹Debugging and profiling skills for distributed, GPU-bound systems

Nice to have

• ▹Master's in Computer Science, Robotics, or related field
• ▹Experience designing and validating safety-critical systems (autonomous driving, aerospace, robotics)
• ▹Experience developing or maintaining autonomous vehicle software stacks (ROS/ROS2)
• ▹Cloud-based simulation infrastructure and large-scale distributed test execution
• ▹Sensor modelling (camera, lidar, radar), environment generation, perception ground-truth pipelines
• ▹Automated testing, continuous integration, data-driven validation
• ▹Log/bag re-simulation from recorded real-world data
• ▹Test-signal quality work: flake reduction, determinism debugging, golden-output comparison
• ▹Safety standards exposure: ISO 26262, ISO 21448 (SOTIF)
