Jobbeschreibung

About the Role

As our Simulation & Synthetic Data Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our autonomy stack, creating the virtual worlds that teach our robotic systems to navigate the real one. You will join a dedicated team developing cutting-edge autonomous ground vehicles, and your work will directly accelerate how our systems learn, adapt, and perform in the most demanding off-road environments.
Your mission is to build the bridge between simulation and reality. By generating high-fidelity data and crafting complex scenarios, you will enable our perception and autonomy software to train, test, and validate at a speed and scale that would be impossible otherwise. This role is critical to advancing the capabilities and robustness of our autonomous platforms.

What You’ll Build

• Construct and expand rich, realistic simulation environments for our autonomous off-road vehicles.
• Generate high-fidelity synthetic sensor data-from cameras to LiDAR-to train our perception algorithms.
• Craft complex virtual scenarios, including dense forests, rugged terrain, and adverse weather, to push our systems to their limits.
• Develop sophisticated data augmentation and domain randomization pipelines to ensure our models are robust and adaptable.
• Implement and refine Sim2Real strategies, bridging the gap between virtual testing and real-world performance.
• Integrate your simulation modules seamlessly with our ROS/ROS2-based robotics software stack.
• Collaborate closely with our AI and robotics teams to continuously enhance synthetic data quality and accelerate model development.

What You Bring

• Strong proficiency in Python or C++ and hands-on experience with ROS2.
• Proven experience developing simulation environments (e.g., Unity) with a solid foundation in computer graphics.
• Deep familiarity with camera and LiDAR sensors and the process of generating synthetic data for them.
• A strong understanding of Sim2Real methodologies and the challenges of transferring models from simulation to the real world.
• A collaborative spirit with a proactive, results-oriented approach to solving complex technical challenges.
• Bonus points for experience with machine learning frameworks (like TensorFlow) or sensor fusion techniques.

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
