About this role

This remote role suits an engineer with a background in simulation, robotics, or game development who wants to build environments for autonomous systems. The position is offered by Havocai for a Robotics Simulation Engineer.

Role Overview

As a Robotics Simulation Engineer at Havocai, you will build the simulation environments, tools, and infrastructure used to develop, test, and validate autonomous systems remotely. This hands-on position focuses on creating realistic and configurable scenarios for autonomous boats, drones, ground vehicles, and multi-agent operations.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain simulation environments and tools using Unity, Unreal Engine, or similar platforms.
Develop configurable scenarios, agents, sensors, environmental conditions, mission events, and test environments for surface vessels, drones, and ground vehicles.
Implement closed-loop simulation workflows for software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), replay, regression testing, and automated scenario evaluation.
Build tools for scenario generation, simulation orchestration, automated testing, visualization, debugging, and results analysis.
Partner closely with Autonomy, Software, Perception, Product, Field Operations, and Program teams to translate requirements into simulation capabilities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, Simulation, Game Development, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
3+ years of experience building simulation software, robotics simulation, game-engine environments, developer tooling, or automated test infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with Unity, Unreal Engine, or similar 3D simulation platforms.
Strong programming skills in C++, C#, Python, or similar languages.
U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.

Nice to Have

Experience simulating autonomous vehicles, sensors, robotics systems, or multi-agent environments.
Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, Cesium, CARLA, Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, AirSim, or similar platforms.
Experience with automated scenario generation, simulation orchestration, or large-scale simulation execution.
Experience with synthetic data generation, perception simulation, sensor modeling, environmental modeling, or physics-based simulation.
Experience integrating simulation with autonomy stacks, mission software, or command-and-control systems.
Experience with cloud or distributed simulation and CI/CD-based regression testing.
Familiarity with robotics middleware, telemetry systems, replay tooling, distributed systems, or real-time software.
Experience supporting defense, aerospace, robotics, autonomy, simulation, or dual-use technology programs.
Active or prior security clearance.
