Robotics Simulation Engineer

Amidon Heavy Industries is a startup building unmanned systems for the offshore industry. We are hiring a Software Simulation Engineer to develop and maintain the simulation environments that power development and testing of our marine robotics platform.

Requirements

• Design, implement, and maintain simulation environments for an autonomous surface vessel, including vessel dynamics, propulsion, and environmental effects (waves, wind, currents)
• Build and refine simulated sensor models (sonar, acoustic, visual, GPS, IMU, radar, etc.) to support realistic perception and navigation testing
• Develop ROS2-based interfaces to simulation environments, including nodes, plugins, and bridges that connect simulation to the autonomy stack
• Create tools for scenario authoring, automated test case generation, and batch simulation runs for regression and performance testing
• Contribute to data visualization, logging, and playback tools to analyze simulated and real-world runs side by side
• Occasionally support at-sea trials to collect data, validate simulation models, and close the loop between sim and reality
