Software Engineer - Simulation

We’re an early-stage deep-tech company building autonomous platforms for real-world inspection. Our systems combine robotics, advanced sensing, and software to operate reliably in complex maritime environments. We’re expanding our simulation capability to accelerate autonomy development and reduce risk across real-world deployments.

What You’ll Do:

Design, implement, and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous surface vehicles

Model vessel dynamics and environmental effects to support realistic testing

Develop and refine simulated sensor models including sonar, vision, radar, GPS, and IMU

Build and maintain ROS2-based interfaces between simulation and the autonomy stack

Create tools for scenario definition, automated test generation, and batch simulation runs

Enable side-by-side analysis of simulated and real-world runs using logging, visualization, and playback tooling

Use data from field trials to validate and improve simulation accuracy

Work closely with autonomy, perception, and systems engineers to ensure simulation is a trusted, day-to-day development tool

You Should Have:

1–3+ years’ experience in robotics simulation, autonomy testing, or related software development

Strong proficiency in C++ and Python on Linux-based systems

Hands‑on experience with ROS2 and robotics middleware

Comfort working across simulation, autonomy, and real‑world data

A practical mindset for debugging and improving complex system behavior

Bonus:

Experience with Gazebo / Ignition, Webots, Unity, or Unreal Engine

Background in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or maritime systems

Experience validating simulation against real‑world data

Early‑stage startup experience or comfort working with high ownership and ambiguity

Why Join Us:

Competitive salary plus meaningful equity

Work on autonomous systems deployed in real operational environments

Small, fast‑moving engineering team with real technical ownership

On‑site collaboration solving complex robotics and simulation challenges
