Senior Simulation Engineer

About

AI Futures are partnered exclusively with the most exciting AI startup in Germany on a Search for a Senior Simulation Engineer

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a new industry by building the operating system for physical-world intelligence. Funded by Tier 1 VCs the company are developing a new category of autonomous systems capable of delivering low-signature, persistent intelligence at scale, creating a programmable layer that connects the physical world to organisations and turns deployments into real insight. With initial applications in defence and long-term applications across security, infrastructure and industry, the company is scaling from 50 to 200 people in 2026.

The Role

• Designing modular, scalable simulation architectures for autonomous and multi-agent systems
• Building robust interfaces between autonomy stacks and simulation backends
• Developing large-scale swarm and multi-robot simulation environments
• Supporting software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing pipelines
• Ensuring simulation fidelity, stability and performance at scale
• Collaborating closely with autonomy, controls and systems engineering teams

The Candidate

• 5+ years in simulation engineering, robotics simulation or systems development
• Strong systems architecture mindset with ownership of complex distributed systems
• Expert-level C++
• Experience with robotics simulation frameworks (e.g. Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo or equivalent) beneficial
• Exposure to multi-agent systems or swarm simulation beneficial
• Experience with robotics, physics modelling or autonomous systems beneficial
• Strong understanding of real-time or compute-efficient simulation systems beneficial
• Good to have Hardware simulation experience – signal and power simulation
• Ability to be On-site in Germany full-time

This is an opportunity to get in at the perfect time, work on one of the most technically ambitious AI deployments ever, learn from a team of A Players and exited founders, grow with the company and get equity.
