Simulation Software – Robotics Systems Engineer

We’re looking for a Simulation Software – Robotics Systems Engineer to join a high-impact team developing cutting-edge software for autonomous systems. If you have strong programming and systems integration skills—and a passion for robotics—this is a rare opportunity to work on next-generation platforms operating across land, air, and sea. In this role, you’ll design and implement advanced simulation and control software that enables real-time decision-making and coordination between autonomous agents. From integrating novel sensors to optimizing multi-agent behaviors, your work will directly shape the future of self-driving technologies. Expertise in C/C++ , Linux , real-time operating systems , networking , and software integration . Experience with robotics and computer vision is also highly desirable.

Performance:

• Develop robust, real-time software for autonomous navigation, control, and inter-system communication.
• Design and build simulation environments that model real-world scenarios for testing autonomous behaviors.
• Integrate robotic software with diverse hardware components—collaborating closely with electrical, embedded, and mechanical teams.
• Process sensor data from LiDAR, radar, sonar, cameras, Starlink, cellular, and other systems to enable autonomy.
• Advance capabilities in obstacle detection, avoidance, and decision-making through AI, machine learning, and sensor fusion.
• Support the development of collaborative multi-agent operations across robotic platforms (UAVs, USVs, AUVs).
• Troubleshoot complex system issues in lab and field environments.
• Document architecture, APIs, testing procedures, and deployment workflows.

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience developing software for robotics, embedded systems, or autonomous platforms.
• Proficiency in C/C++ , with experience in real-time and embedded system development.
• Strong Linux development background; familiar with build tools and system debugging.
• In-depth knowledge of networking protocols including Serial, UDP, TCP, LTE, RF, Wi-Fi, Satellite ; experience with VPNs .
• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally.
• U.S. Citizenship required ; must be eligible for a government security clearance .

Preferred:

• Experience with ROS, MOOS-IvP , or similar autonomy frameworks.
• Background in computer vision, AI/ML , and sensor data processing .
• Knowledge of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping).
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson , CUDA , TensorRT , DeepStream SDK .
• Experience with real-time video streaming (RTP, RTSP, SRT) using tools like ffmpeg , GStreamer .
• GUI development in C++ for Linux and/or Windows platforms.
• Field experience with autonomous or marine robotics ; willingness to support deployments and trials.
• Familiarity with microcontrollers and embedded Linux development.
• Willingness to travel for demos, field testing, and operational support.
