Software Engineer - Simulation

The Atlas team is looking for a Software Engineer with a passion for robotics to build cutting-edge simulation software for our robots' perception, planning, and controls systems. In this role you will develop simulation engines, visualization tools, and robot behavior testing infrastructure.

How you will make an impact:

• Develop high quality software for simulation
• Design simulation software that is fast and scalable
• Work on simulation for perception-in-the-loop behaviors
• Design and implement sensor simulation modules
• Evaluate new simulation technologies and libraries
• Develop GUI tools with advanced 3D visualization capabilities
• Develop automated simulation testing infrastructure
• Regularly disseminate research within the Atlas team and in wider company meetings

We are looking for:

• Competence in C++ and Python programming
• Experience using and developing simulation software for robots (for example: mujoco, gazebo, bullet, unity)
• Familiarity with requirements for robot simulation software for perception and machine learning
• 3+ years experience with simulation software (academic research or industry)

Additional desired experience:

• Hands-on experience with hardware robots and robot middleware software systems
• Experience with robot perception data types like RGBD images, pointclouds
• Experience with network communication and pub/sub
• Advanced programming with knowledge of threading, multiprocessing, asynchronous IO
• Experience designing software within monorepos and working on build systems like bazel
• Knowledge of computer graphics and data visualization techniques
• Practical knowledge of 3D geometry, projective geometry, camera models
