Robotics Lead (Modelling & Simulation)

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you will work at the intersection of robotics, AI, and real-world hardware – building physical AI and multi-fleet management systems for outdoor vehicles in collaboration with a globally recognized industry leader. You will go beyond simulation into practical application, both developing new capabilities and retrofitting existing equipment with intelligent components.

This is a US-based role with an anticipated base salary range of $108,000–$120,000 annually.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design and develop robotics and industrial software solutions, working with digital twins and real-world hardware systems
  • Lead the implementation of process modeling and optimization for continuous, discrete, and event-driven systems
  • Drive the development of prototypes and production-ready solutions for robotics and industrial applications
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate intelligent and AI-driven capabilities into existing industrial equipment
  • Lead testing, validation, and deployment activities in both simulation and real-world environments
  • Guide the design and implementation of automated robotic systems that improve production efficiency, quality, and precision
  • Contribute expertise in robotics domains such as control, motion planning, sensing, and decision-making to project delivery
  • Mentor engineers, conduct technical reviews, and promote engineering best practices across the team
  • Support solution architecture decisions and ensure technical alignment with business and project objectives

REQUIREMENTS

  • 5+ years of software development experience in C++, Python, or Julia, including experience with system programming and real-time systems
  • Proven experience designing and implementing robotics or industrial automation solutions
  • Strong experience modeling continuous, discrete, and event-driven systems
  • Hands-on experience with simulation frameworks such as MATLAB/Simulink, Mathematica, Modelica, Ansys, or OpenFOAM
  • Experience working with physics-based simulation tools such as Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac, or V-REP
  • Solid understanding of control theory, estimation, optimization, and robotics algorithms for linear and nonlinear systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills and proven ability to develop efficient and scalable solutions for complex robotics challenges
  • Hands-on experience with distributed control systems and Unix/Linux environments
  • Familiarity with software testing practices, CI/CD pipelines, and system monitoring approaches
  • Experience leading technical initiatives, mentoring team members, and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders
