About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design a federated "sim-of-sims" architecture integrating low-fidelity SITL with high-fidelity mission environments (UE5 + Cesium for geo-specific terrain, VBS4 for combined-arms scenarios) into a unified stack.
- Solve distributed time synchronization across heterogeneous nodes; select and implement the right federation approach (HLA/DIS, custom, or hybrid).
- Integrate the autonomy stack into sim and support SITL/HITL workflows for autopilots across multi-vehicle, multi-domain scenarios, exercising real execution paths across mission planning, autonomy, and comms.
- Model realistic network and DDIL conditions to validate behavior in contested environments.
- Build observability into the stack: frame timing, sync health, scenario replay, and diagnostics.
- Partner with autonomy, systems, and field ops teams, and communicate simulation results and the company's asymmetric advantage to operators, mission leads, and C-suite.
Requirements
What you’ll need- 5+ years of professional experience in simulation engineering, robotics simulation, game-engine-based simulation, or related systems engineering roles.
- Hands-on experience with Unreal Engine (UE4 or UE5) for simulation or synthetic environment generation.
- Experience with SITL or HITL (workflows using ArduPilot, PX4, or equivalent autopilot platforms.
- Demonstrated understanding of distributed simulation challenges, particularly time synchronization, determinism, and state consistency.
- Strong proficiency in C++ for engine-level development and Python for scripting and integration.
- Experience modeling communications degradation and DDIL conditions in simulation.
