This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end from schema and API design through front-end implementation and production deployment.

What Youll Do (Responsibilities)

• Design and implement software for robotic simulation environments and automation frameworks

• Build and integrate 3D modules (e.g. rendering simulation physics spatial indexing) with platform services via well-designed APIs and data contracts

• Work across the stack using modern front-end frameworks (e.g. React or similar) TypeScript/JavaScript and service-oriented backends (e.g. Python Java or C#)

• Build and iterate on web-based playback and visualization tools that rely on WebRTC WebSockets and streaming media pipelines to deliver simulation replays

• Work with databases and storage systems to organize simulation outputs logs and artifacts for fast retrieval and inspection

• Collaborate with robotics engineers data scientists and system architects to integrate software into autonomous platforms

• Optimize code for efficiency scalability and reliability in real-time systems

• Conduct testing debugging and validation of software components

• Document software designs processes and best practices for maintainability and knowledge sharing

• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for at least one platform or application component

• Solid version control and testing practices (e.g. Git unit/integration testing build automation CI/CD)

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Masters degree in Computer Science Computer Engineering or a related field

• Experience with simulation modeling or real-time analytics; exposure to mentoring peers or coordinating small engineering efforts is a plus

• Experience with time-series or metrics systems (e.g. Prometheus InfluxDB OpenTelemetry Grafana)

• Experience with job orchestration/compute platforms (e.g. Kubernetes job queues batch processing)

• Experience with visualization libraries (e.g. D3 Plotly ) for graphs timelines and dashboards

• Experience handling and visualizing large binary artifacts (logs traces 3D/2D simulation outputs video)

• Experience in a cloud environment (AWS Azure GCP) and with infrastructure-as-code tools

• Familiarity with manufacturing automotive or industrial domains
