Full-time
Robotics Simulation Engineer
Job description
Havoc is a leader in all-domain collaborative autonomy. Its software-defined hardware approach powers military and commercial-grade autonomous systems across sea, air, and land to sense, decide, and act together in complex and contested environments. Havoc connects assets, enabling them to share information, adapt in real time, and continue operating even when communications are disrupted or denied. Havoc optimizes mission performance and minimizes human risk. Havoc was founded in 2024 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. Learn more at Havoc: All-Domain Collaborative Autonomy .
Job responsibilities
- Built realistic, repeatable simulation environments that engineering teams use regularly to develop and validate autonomous systems.
- Expanded automated SIL, HIL, regression, and scenario-based testing across HavocAI’s autonomy capabilities.
- Enabled engineers to reproduce difficult field conditions and failures in simulation before returning to the field.
- Improved simulation tooling and workflows so teams can create, execute, analyze, and iterate on scenarios more quickly.
- Helped establish simulation as a core part of how HavocAI develops, tests, and validates autonomous systems before deployment.
Job 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.
- Experience building configurable environments, scenario systems, agent behaviors, or automated testing tools.
- Understanding of closed-loop simulation, SIL, HIL, replay testing, or automated system evaluation.
- Experience integrating complex software systems across simulation, data, and robotics workflows.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
