About Us

We are establishing the first distributed Al infrastructure dedicated to personalized Al. The evolving needs of a data-driven society are demanding scalability and flexibility. We believe that the future of Al is distributed and enables real-time data processing at the edge, closer to where data is generated. We are building a future where a company's data and IP remains private and it's possible to bring large models directly to consumer hardware without removing information from the model.

Role Overview

As a Staff R&D Software Engineer specializing in Simulation, you will lead the development of cutting-edge photo-realistic training environments for robotics applications and synthetic data generation pipelines for computer vision model training. You'll architect and build advanced simulation systems using XR / AR / VR technologies, physics engines, and optimized rendering pipelines that bridge the gap between virtual training and real-world robotics deployment. This role combines deep technical expertise in game engines, computer graphics, and simulation with research-driven innovation to create breakthrough solutions in robotics simulation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and architect photo-realistic simulation environments for robotics training scenarios using Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, or similar platforms
  • Develop advanced rendering pipelines optimized for synthetic data generation and real-time robotics simulation
  • Build robust physics simulation frameworks that accurately model real-world robotics use cases and sensor interactions
  • Create scalable synthetic data generation systems for training computer vision models with domain randomization techniques
  • Implement cutting-edge rendering techniques including ray tracing, PBR materials, and advanced lighting systems
  • Optimize simulation performance across diverse hardware platforms and deployment environments
  • Research and prototype novel simulation methodologies for robotics training applications
  • Collaborate with robotics and ML / CV teams to define simulation requirements and validate training effectiveness
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical standards and best practices across the R&D team
  • Present research findings and technical solutions to leadership and external stakeholders
  • Stay current with academic research in simulation, computer graphics, and robotics to drive innovation

Qualifications & Skills

  • 7+ years of professional software development experience with 4+ years specializing in simulation, game engines, or XR technologies
  • Expert-level proficiency in C++ and / or C# with demonstrated experience in performance optimization and debugging
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Unreal Engine and / or Unity 3D including custom shader development and rendering pipeline optimization
  • Strong foundation in 3D mathematics, linear algebra, computer graphics fundamentals, and physics simulation
  • Proven track record developing and optimizing VR / AR / XR applications across multiple platforms
  • Experience with robotics simulation frameworks (Webots, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, AirSim, or similar) or willingness to quickly learn
  • Understanding of synthetic data generation techniques and computer vision model training requirements
  • Strong software engineering practices including version control, code reviews, and collaborative development
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently on complex technical challenges
  • Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Startup experience with ability to thrive in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments
  • Previous work in robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, or industrial automation
  • Experience with advanced rendering techniques such as ray tracing, global illumination, and GPU programming (CUDA, compute shaders)
  • Knowledge of cloud computing platforms and distributed simulation systems
  • Experience with procedural content generation and algorithmic asset creation
  • Background with AR / VR hardware platforms (HTC Vive, Oculus, HoloLens, etc.)
  • Published research, patents, or open-source contributions in simulation, computer graphics, or robotics
  • Experience with digital twins or industrial simulation applications
  • Leadership experience mentoring technical teams and driving cross-functional collaboration
  • Familiarity with robotics kinematics, dynamics, and sensor modeling principles
