Senior Mission Simulation Engineer (Autonomy & Firefighting)

Rain Industries Inc; Alameda (CA); Sur place; USD 150 000 - 210 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Rain Industries Inc. in Alameda, California is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and deployment of a mission simulation and system integration framework for multi-aircraft autonomy.

You will own end-to-end simulation stack development, work across perception, planning and flight software teams, and enable rapid iteration through scalable testing environments and validation workflows. This on-site role invites you to ship safety-critical software and to mentor others while

Qualifications

• Strong experience in modern C++ for performance critical and safety critical applications.
• Experience with Python for simulation and test tooling.
• Strong, practical experience with building, deploying, and debugging applications on Linux-based systems and environments (e.g. Docker Compose, CMake, Conan, gdb/Valgrind/memcheck).
• Experience working with or building simulation environments.
• Systems & Simulation Thinking: running multi-host apps, multi-agent and real-time systems.
• Execution & Ownership: ability to own a domain end-to-end in a fast-moving environment.

Responsabilités

• Design and build a world simulation and sensor simulation stack that generates realistic EO/IR and environmental outputs, and integrates aircraft, autonomy, and external systems into a cohesive simulation environment.
• Lead the end-to-end development of the simulation stack while acting as a force multiplier across the autonomy team—contributing to perception and mission behaviors as needed to accelerate system progress.
• Develop and maintain integration pipelines and infrastructure to continuously deploy software into simulation, run large-scale integrated tests, and evaluate system performance across mission scenarios.
• Integrate multi-system components (perception, planning, controls, comms) into cohesive simulation and test frameworks.
• Develop infrastructure to support multi-agent simulation (multiple aircraft, human-in-the-loop operators, and external systems).
• Own critical parts of the simulation stack end-to-end—from architecture to deployment to validation.
• Build tools to evaluate system performance, failure modes, and degraded conditions in safety-critical scenarios.
• Collaborate closely with engineers on autonomy, perception, and flight software to ensure simulation reflects real-world system constraints and behaviors.
• Enable real-time and faster-than-real-time simulation to support training, testing, and algorithm development.
• Drive system-level thinking—ensuring that simulation meaningfully represents interactions across subsystems and impacts mission success.
