We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead our Distributed Simulation efforts. In this role, you will be responsible for building a new distributed simulation product to enable heterogeneous groups of robots to collaborate together across multiple physical sites. Ideal candidates will be comfortable at all stages of the product life cycle, from initial scoping of user requirements, to the architecture of a solution, to the implementation of that solution.

You will be expected to use your prior expertise to make well‑reasoned arguments for a design that accounts for:

• different visions of “truth” on the server and client
• latency between clients and the server
• where to do GPU‑intensive computation
• registering new robots with the network
• shipping software updates without compromising availability
• moving data across segregated networks
• monitoring of simulation state for post‑exercise debugging and reporting
