Job summary

AutoStore in Atlanta seeks a robotics simulation engineer to build virtual environments for testing robots, grids and Physical AI before they are built. You will join the New Product Development Innovation Team in Atlanta and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, software and AI engineers to translate questions into reusable simulations that accelerate development.

Day-to-day you will create physics-based simulations, build digital twins, and integrate test benches and CI pipelines.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience applying simulation in robotics, hardware engineering or product development.
• Hands-on experience with physics-based robotics simulators such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, PyBullet or Webots.
• Strong Python programming skills (C++ a plus), with experience automating simulation workflows and analyzing large result sets.
• Solid grasp of rigid-body dynamics, kinematics, sensors and actuators.
• Experience with automated testing, including software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop or simulation in CI/CD.
• Personable and collaborative; able to explain results and their uncertainty to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Electrical or Robotics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Develop and run physics-based simulation environments (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo) for end-to-end testing of robots and Physical AI products.
• Build digital twins of AutoStore hardware and compare them with lab and field data to measure and improve fidelity.
• Set up software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test benches, and add simulation test cases to regression and CI pipelines.
• Develop scenario generation and stress-testing methods to find unknown failure modes and edge cases.
• With the Engineering Tools and Services team, build tools and automated workflows so engineers can run what-if analyses and parameter sweeps without being simulation experts.
• Generate synthetic data and simulation environments to train and evaluate perception and AI models.
• Work with each team to pick the right level of model detail for the question, and present results clearly.
