Sr. Software Engineer, Multiagent Simulation

About the role

FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. Our R&D team develops risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. We are seeking passionate engineers to join our team and play a vital role in the development of multi-robot simulation and fleet orchestration.

Responsibilities

• Arcitect high-fidelity multi-robot simulation scenes (terrain, sensors, dynamic obstacles) and scale from single-agent tests to fleet scenarios
• Integrate physics, perception, and comms models so agents behave realistically at fleet scale
• Implement and evaluate fleet-level task allocation, coordination, and planning inside simulation
• Build declarative mission tooling to run thousands of orchestration experiments and profile performance across latency, heterogeneity, and environment complexity
• Calibrate simulation to real-world telemetry with field teams and reduce the sim-to-real gap
• Build domain randomization, scenario generation, and automated regression/benchmark gates for fleet orchestration releases
• Design logging, metrics, and visualization so every run yields actionable data and fleet KPIs (throughput, collisions, comms overhead, idle time)
• Maintain reproducible experiment infrastructure with versioned scenes, configs, and results
• Partner with perception, planning, learning, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to run large-scale simulation and raise standards for fidelity, coverage, and release quality

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience)
• 7+ years hands-on experience building simulation environments for robotics or autonomous systems
• Proficiency in Python and C++; comfort reading and extending large codebases
• Working knowledge of robotics simulation engines (e.g., MuJoCo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Genesis)
• Experience with multi-robot or multi-agent systems: task allocation, distributed planning, swarm coordination, or fleet management
• Familiarity with standard robotics middleware
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary teams
• Ability to translate research into practical, field-deployable systems

Qualifications

• Passionate about robotics and embodied intelligence
• Experience with domain randomization, synthetic data generation, or sim-to-real transfer at scale
• Background in distributed systems or cloud-based simulation orchestration
• Hands-on work with real robot fleets in field environments (e.g., construction, mining, logistics, defense)
• Contributions to open-source robotics or simulation frameworks
