Software Engineer – Robotics Design Simulation; Senior to Principal

What You'll Do

• Develop faster-than-real-time and optimized simulation tools and environments to inform key design decisions for new systems and products.
• Create simulations that transform production data, generate synthetic data when needed, and automate the end-to-end workflow of experiment creation and analysis.
• Analyze and evaluate existing simulation tools, driving improvements that enable faster, more scalable, efficient, and low-cost solutions for use across Symbotic development teams.
• Lead the design and implementation of a hierarchy of simulation capabilities to support component- and integrated systems-level digital twins.
• Own all aspects of simulation tools used throughout the organization, including individual robots, perception, controls, fleet-level operations, routing, and system-wide simulations used during testing and design of new features.
• Scope projects and specify requirements, providing senior leadership with deep technical insight to create long-term technical roadmaps.
• Serve as a technical mentor, amplifying impact through other team members and guiding the team toward innovative solutions and increased productivity.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline (equivalent experience with a Bachelor’s degree will also be considered).
• Minimum of 5 years of software engineering experience with deep technical expertise in simulation environments and optimization solutions.
• Solid foundation in computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, object-oriented design.
• Experience with data transformation, ETL pipelines, and data wrangling using tools such as Pandas, Num Py, or SQL.
• Familiarity with state-of-the-art technologies and the ability to make difficult, impactful design decisions.
• Direct experience with data science workflows: experimentation, statistical analysis, and visualization.
• Ability to architect a modern hierarchical simulation system for a complex software system with varying levels of fidelity.
  Experience with ML and cloud computing models and tools for training in simulation.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively represent derived results and technical concepts to leadership.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

• Base salary range: $ – $, varying with experience and qualifications.
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, 401(k), PTO, and additional benefits.
• Travel: up to 10% travel may be required; valid driver’s license and ability to travel to client locations.
