Software Engineer - Simulation, Game Engine & World Systems (Autonomy)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop World & Scene Representation Systems: Design and implement core spatial data structures, including Entity Component System frameworks, spatial indexing, occupancy representations, and 4D object management for…
• Own Mapping & Geometry Pipelines: Build and optimize the computational geometry and world-state systems that sit between raw sensor data and the path planning stack — including coordinate frame management, spatial…
• Drive Performance to the Metal: Write highly optimized C++ (C++20) with a focus on low-latency, cache-efficient, and memory-conscious design.
• Technical Strategy & Integration: Participate in driving architectural decisions and design clean APIs that enable cross-domain integration across air, ground, and maritime autonomy stacks.

Job requirements

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in spatial systems, world modeling, or simulation environments
• Expert-level C++ skills (C++20 or later), including template metaprogramming, move semantics, SIMD, and performance optimization at the systems level
• Hands-on experience building world or scene representations — from a game engine, sim platform, or autonomous system — including managing dynamic object state, spatial indexing, and real-time updates
• Strong background in computational geometry: coordinate transformations, spatial data structures (BVH, octrees, k-d trees), geometric algorithms, and collision/proximity systems
• Deep intuition for low-latency, high-throughput software design in real-time environments
• Strong proficiency in Python and shell scripting for tooling and automation
• Experience with agentic coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and AI-assisted development workflows
• Must be willing to travel as projects requires; average travel varies, but can be up to once a month for up to 1 week (~20%)
