What we need

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the development of simulation systems and tools responsible for supporting the design, development, qualification, and deployment of large scale integrated robotic systems for our customers. We are looking for a versatile and intellectually curious Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of simulation engineering and data science. This role is ideal for someone who can architect and build simulation systems, while also transforming real-world production data into meaningful experiments, generating synthetic datasets, and automating the analysis pipeline to extract actionable insights.

You'll be part of a cross-functional team that blends software engineering, system design, and data science to drive strategic decisions and optimize complex systems.

What you will do

• Develop faster than real-time and optimized simulation tools and environments for driving key design decisions for new systems and products.

• Take responsibility for creating simulations transforming production data, generating synthetic data when needed, experiment creation through analysis and developing tools to automate this workflow end-to-end.

• Analyze and evaluate existing simulation tools and drive improvements that enable faster, more scalable, efficient, and low-cost solutions for use across the Symbotic development teams.

• Lead the design and implementation of a hierarchy of simulation capabilities to support the development and analysis of both component and integrated systems-level digital twins.

• Take responsibility for all aspects of the simulation tools used throughout the organization including individual robots, perception, controls, fleet-level operations, routing, and system-wide simulations used during testing and design of new features.

• Drive project scoping and requirement specification providing senior leadership with deep technical insight needed to create long-term technical roadmaps.

• Amplify impact through other team members by serving as a technical mentor to guide the team toward innovative solutions and increased productivity.

What you will need

• A master's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline provides the academic foundation for success.

• Minimum of 6 years of software engineering skills with deep technical expertise including simulation environments and optimization solutions.

• Solid foundation in computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, object-oriented design.

• Experience with data transformation, ETL pipelines, and data wrangling using tools like Pandas, NumPy, or SQL.

• Familiarity with the current state-of-the-art and ability to draw upon a wealth of technical experience to drive difficult and impactful technological design decisions.

• Direct experience with data science workflows: experimentation, statistical analysis, and visualization.

• Ability to understand and architect a modern hierarchical simulation system for a complex Software system with varying levels of fidelity for a variety of applications.

• Plus: Experience with ML and cloud computing models and tools for training in simulation.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively represent the derived results and technical concepts to leadership team.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

Our environment

• Up to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver's license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
