Boston, MA$125k - $170kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
Senior Software Engineer focused on multi-robot simulation and fleet orchestration to validate fleet strategies at scale, bridging robotics simulation with real-world deployment.
Responsibilities
- Architect high-fidelity multi-robot simulation scenes (terrain, sensors, dynamic obstacles) and scale from single-agent tests to fleet scenarios.
- Integrate physics, perception, and comms models so agents behave realistically at fleet scale.
- Implement and evaluate fleet-level task allocation, coordination, and planning inside simulation.
- Build declarative mission tooling to run thousands of orchestration experiments and profile performance across latency, heterogeneity, and environment complexity.
- Calibrate simulation to real-world telemetry with field teams and reduce the sim-to-real gap.
- Build domain randomization, scenario generation, and automated regression/benchmark gates for fleet orchestration releases.
- Design logging, metrics, and visualization so every run yields actionable data and fleet KPIs (throughput, collisions, comms overhead, idle time).
- Maintain reproducible experiment infrastructure with versioned scenes, configs, and results.
- Partner with perception, planning, learning, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to run large-scale simulation and raise standards for fidelity, coverage, and release quality.
Qualifications
- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).
- 7+ years hands-on experience building simulation environments for robotics or autonomous systems.
- Proficiency in Python and C++; comfort reading and extending large codebases.
- Working knowledge of robotics simulation engines (e.g., MuJoCo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Genesis).
- Experience with multi-robot or multi-agent systems: task allocation, distributed planning, swarm coordination, or fleet management.
- Familiarity with standard robotics middleware.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary teams.
- Ability to translate research into practical, field-deployable systems.
