Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer (ROS 2 / Gazebo)

Unikie; Szczecin; On-site; PLN 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Unikie in Szczecin, Poland, seeks a Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer (ROS 2 / Gazebo) to integrate simulation as a practical part of software development and testing. You will work on ROS 2 and Gazebo environments, turning simulation scenarios into repeatable tests with clear outcomes and evidence.

You will collaborate with software engineers on automation, test execution and reporting, with opportunities to expand to NVIDIA Isaac Sim and more complex scenarios later.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing or integrating software with ROS 2 and Gazebo.
• Experience with mobile robotics, autonomous vehicles or machine control.
• Strong C++ or Python skills.

Responsibilities

• Run, debug and extend an existing ROS 2/Gazebo simulation.
• Integrate autonomy and control software with simulated vehicles and sensors.
• Develop scenarios involving one or more independently controlled machines.
• Define measurable behaviour and help implement automated validation checks.
• Investigate whether failures come from the software, scenario or simulation model.
• Assess what level of vehicle and sensor fidelity each test requires.
• Make scenarios reproducible and suitable for automated execution.

SENIOR ROBOTICS SIMULATION ENGINEER (ROS 2 / GAZEBO)
We are looking for a senior engineer to make robotics simulation a practical part of software development and testing. You will work on an existing ROS 2 and Gazebo environment, turning simulation scenarios into repeatable tests with clear outcomes and useful evidence.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SENIOR ROBOTICS SIMULATION ENGINEER (ROS 2 / GAZEBO)
We are looking for a senior engineer to make robotics simulation a practical part of software development and testing. You will work on an existing ROS 2 and Gazebo environment, turning simulation scenarios into repeatable tests with clear outcomes and useful evidence.
You will collaborate with software engineers working on automation, test execution and reporting. The work starts with the current simulation setup and can later expand to NVIDIA Isaac Sim and more complex scenarios.
What You Will Do

• Run, debug and extend an existing ROS 2/Gazebo simulation
• Integrate autonomy and control software with simulated vehicles and sensors
• Develop scenarios involving one or more independently controlled machines
• Define measurable behaviour and help implement automated validation checks
• Investigate whether failures come from the software, scenario or simulation model
• Assess what level of vehicle and sensor fidelity each test requires
• Make scenarios reproducible and suitable for automated execution
• Help plan the next steps for a broader simulation and validation environment

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Hands-on experience developing or integrating software with ROS 2 and Gazebo
• Experience with mobile robotics, autonomous vehicles or machine control
• Strong C++ or Python skills
• Confidence developing and debugging in Linux
• Experience creating simulation scenarios or tests with measurable outcomes
• Ability to take ownership of technical work and collaborate across engineering disciplines
• Clear communication in English

Considered An Advantage

• NVIDIA Isaac Sim or Omniverse experience
• Navigation, localisation, perception or sensor simulation
• Vehicle dynamics
• Docker, CI/CD or automated testing
• Experience comparing simulation behaviour with physical-system behaviour
