Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer

About Elevate Robotics

We build multi-purpose robots that solve scalable industrial use cases. Our executive team previously founded Plus One Robotics and Fox Robotics. We have a small, highly talented hardware and software team. We plan to deploy 1 million robots in 10 years. We’re not a humanoid company.

 

Why This Role Exists

We need robust simulation environments to accelerate development and validation of our navigation, perception, and manipulation stacks. You will lead the creation and maintenance of high-fidelity simulations for testing, synthetic data generation, and reinforcement learning applications.

 

Must-Haves

  • 3+ years developing simulation for robotic systems

  • Experience with Mujoco and NVIDIA Isaac Sim

  • Strong C++ software development skills

  • Experience building simulation for navigation, perception and manipulation tasks

  • Familiarity with generating and validating synthetic datasets

 

Nice-to-Haves

  • Python experience

  • Experience integrating simulation frameworks with reinforcement learning pipelines

  • Knowledge of multi-modal sensor simulation (cameras, lidar, depth sensors)

  • Experience tuning simulations for realism and performance optimization

  • Background in robotics physics engines (e.g., Bullet, PhysX, Drake)

 

How We Work

  • High ownership, fast feedback, no bureaucracy

  • Intense, but not a death march

  • Small software team with relatively general skills

  • AI-friendly

 

Compensation includes significant equity.

About Elevate Robotics

We build multi-purpose robots that solve scalable industrial use cases. Our executive team previously founded Plus One Robotics and Fox Robotics. We have a small, highly talented hardware and software team. We plan to deploy 1 million robots in 10 years. We’re not a humanoid company.

 

Why This Role Exists

We need to deliver v1 of an indoor navigation stack (mapping + localization + planning + control) by December 2025. You will own that charter end-to-end, from algorithm design through on-floor validation.

 

Must-Haves

  • 5+ years shipping real-world navigation on mobile robots (warehouse or factory preferred).

  • Planning, trajectory optimization and control for wheeled, indoor robots.

  • C++, software development, software design.

  • Comfort debugging on-robot, log analysis, field testing.

 

Nice-to-Haves

  • Python

  • Deployment of lidar and/or vision-based SLAM or tightly-coupled localization.

  • NERF, Gaussian Splats, etc...

  • Safety-rated navigation, experience with B56.5 compliance.

  • Simulation for development and testing.

 

How We Work

  • High ownership, fast feedback, no bureaucracy

  • Intense, but not a death march

  • Small software team with relatively general skills

  • AI-friendly
