Software Engineer, Simulation

The Role

We are seeking exceptional Software Engineers to build and scale our robotics simulation environment. Simulation is a critical foundation for autonomy at Bedrock - it allows us to validate end-to-end systems, evaluate complex and unsafe scenarios, and run testing at massive scale. Our autonomy stack is deeply machine-learning–driven, and closing the sim-to-real gap is a core focus of this role.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous construction machines
• Develop simulation systems that support ML-based autonomy, evaluation, and safety validation
• Improve realism and performance to better reflect real-world behavior
• Help guide our strategy in scene generation and neural rendering techniques
• Write production-quality, hands-on code and build real simulation content—not just prototypes

Requirements

• A passion for large-scale, realistic simulation systems
• Experience with advanced 3D simulation software
• Experience evaluating systems and improving realism to support autonomy stacks
• A hands-on mindset and enthusiasm for building core simulation algorithms and content

Qualifications

• An engineering, math, or physics degree, or a computer science background with demonstrated interest and strength in math and physics
• 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with proven track record of building modular, maintainable, production-quality software systems in C++
• 2+ years of experience with one or more 3D engines or simulation frameworks, such as: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Blender, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Omniverse

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Rust or interest in learning it
• Robotics simulation background
• Experience with neural rendering techniques (Gaussian splats, NeRFs)
