We are seeking a Robotics Simulation Software Engineer to design and develop advanced simulation platforms used to evaluate, validate, and verify the performance of robotics applications across a variety of operational scenarios and test cases. This role will focus on building scalable, high-fidelity simulation environments that enable the testing of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Fleet Management Systems and web-based controllers before deployment in production environments. We offer: The idóneo candidate combines strong software engineering skills with solid understanding of autonomous navigation, simulation technologies, and software quality practices. You will play a key role in building a virtual validation framework that accelerates product development, reduces dependence on physical hardware, and improves system reliability.
Key Responsibilities Simulation Environment Development: Design, develop, and maintain simulation tools and frameworks for validating robotics applications under a wide range of operating conditions and test scenarios. Build high-fidelity virtual environments that accurately represent warehouse, manufacturing, and intralogistics operations. Develop scalable simulation architectures capable of supporting large fleets of autonomous mobile robots.
System Validation & Verification: Enable early-stage validation of Fleet Management Systems and robotics software without requiring physical robots. Develop automated test scenarios, evaluation metrics, and performance benchmarks. Analyze discrepancies between simulated and real-world system behavior and continuously improve simulation accuracy.



Support regression testing and verification of software releases using simulation-based testing methodologies.
Virtual Lab & Test Automation: Contribute to the development of a virtual lab environment for end-to-end testing of robotics solutions. Integrate simulation tools into CI/CD pipelines to support automated testing and continuous validation. Collaborate with software developers, QA engineers, systems engineers, and robotics teams to define test requirements and acceptance criteria.
Software Engineering & Quality: Apply software quality best practices including code reviews, unit testing, system testing, and automated validation. Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of software and system-level issues identified through simulation.
Tasks and Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
3+ years of professional software development experience using C++ and/or Python.
Strong hands-on experience with Linux-based development environments.
Experience developing software for robotics, autonomous systems, or industrial automation solutions.




Strong hands-on experience with robotics simulation and development tools, including: ROS2 Gazebo Isaac Sim Python.
Experience with modern software engineering practices including: Git version control Agile development methodologies.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Experience with software quality assurance practices, including code reviews, unit testing, integration testing, and system testing.
