Are you passionate about architecting high-fidelity simulations that push the boundaries of what's possible? Do you have experience in game or software development, or a strong background in robotics simulation?

If so, come join our influential Locus Simulation Software Team and help shape the future of robotics innovation.

The Simulation Team pioneers the testing and development process by creating intricate virtual environments for testing and refining robots. They design and build simulations that accurately mirror real-world conditions and sensor data, streamlining development, enhancing safety, and ensuring consistent robot performance across diverse environments and scenarios. In this Senior role, you’ll design, develop, and maintain robust simulations of large robot fleets operating in complex environments. Working closely with the Robotics Software Team, you’ll integrate simulation into the entire development lifecycle to reflect real-world robot behavior, sensor inputs, and environmental interactions.

This remote position can be based in US, Canada, or EMEA or hybrid in our Wilmington MA or Nashua NH offices.

Responsibilities

• Design and extend simulation frameworks to support new robots, sensors, and behaviors.
• Advance the development of Digital Twins that reflect real warehouse environments.
• Implement accurate models of sensor inputs, physics, and environmental interactions.
• Define and implement testing metrics to evaluate simulation accuracy and robot performance.
• Optimize simulation performance and scalability for large-scale fleet testing.
• Collaborate with other Robotics Software teams by creating test environments for feature development, debugging, and performance tuning.
• Perform other duties as required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related engineering field.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience in C++ or Rust.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience developing simulations, games, or game engines, ideally using Entity-Component-System (ECS) architectures.
• Experience working with the Bevy game engine.
• Familiarity with AWS and DevOps tools and workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple, critical projects with shifting deadlines and requirements.
• Proficient English written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external teams
