Senior Simulation Engineer – Autonomous Systems & Physics-Based Environments (m/w/d)

Your mission

• Development of a realistic simulation environment for autonomous systems - from scratch, without templates
• Mathematical modeling of the environment, dynamic objects, sensor behavior and environmental influences (e.g. wind, terrain, traffic)
• Creation of a physically sound basis for system tests, sensor processing and decision logic
• Integration of own modules in frameworks such as Gazebo, CARLA or comparable tools
• Collaboration with robotics, AI and hardware teams to realistically map the environment
• Support with test automation, evaluation and scenario design

Your profile

Must ​have:

• Very good knowledge of mathematical modeling and physically based simulation
• Experience with C++ (possibly combined with Python for tools/scripting)
• Practical experience with simulation engines such as Gazebo, CARLA or similar - but with a focus on in-house development, not configuration
• Ability to build own models for environment, dynamics and sensors
• Technical background in robotics, autonomous driving or related fields
• Experience with ROS / ROS2

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of sensor technology (camera, lidar, radar, acoustics)
• Experience with validation and testing of autonomous systems

Meta:

• Intrinsic motivation and willingness to go the extra mile, as well as attention to detail
• Creativity that thinks outside the box as well as conceptual and systematic design thinking and disciplined execution
• Servant leadership that puts the success of the team above their ego
