Senior Modelling & Simulation Engineer

You’ll work with a team specializing in Embodied AI, adaptive robotic systems, and hardware engineering to build production‑ready robots. The environment combines cutting‑edge simulation with hands‑on development, enabling faster iteration and smarter decision‑making early in the process. It’s an opportunity to be part of an end‑to‑end journey – from intelligent simulation to real‑world deployment. Together, the team brings innovative robotics ideas to life in a practical, scalable way.

• Create digital twins of real systems
• Model and optimize processes
• Design and develop complex control systems and solutions for various types of robotic systems
• Build multiple rapid prototypes and refine them into production‑ready solutions
• Test robotic solutions both in simulated environments and real‑world scenarios
• Design automated robotic systems to enhance production efficiency and precision within specific industries
• Research into the latest trends and modern approaches in the robotics domain, including navigation, sensing, and decision‑making

• 5+ years of experience with Python and software development experience
• MSc or Ph.D. degree in computer science, applied mathematics, robotics, or a related field
• Proficiency in control theory, including model‑based control (MPC, MHE, LQG), Kalman filtering, and decentralized control system analysis
• Experience in mathematical optimization techniques such as NLP, QP, and MILP, skilled in designing, developing, and implementing complex and efficient algorithms
• Practical knowledge of first‑principles and data‑driven modeling techniques for dynamic systems, proficient in working with databases like SQLite and PostgreSQL
• Deep knowledge in numerical methods, concurrent programming, and component‑oriented programming
• Familiarity with AWS cloud services and their application in software development
