About the role

What we're doing isn't easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.
We envision a future powered by robots that work seamlessly with human teams.
Diligent is one of the only companies in the world operating a production fleet of mobile manipulation robots in real environments.

Design and build tools that improve productivity and debugging across the robotics software stack
Develop and maintain simulation infrastructure used for testing autonomy, navigation, perception, manipulation and system level behaviors
Partner with autonomy, perception, platform, and infrastructure teams to integrate simulation into CI pipelines and validation workflows
Create reproducible test harnesses and simulation scenarios that mirror real world operational edge cases found in our customer environments
Evaluate and integrate third party simulation frameworks or build custom simulation tooling as needed
Mentor engineers on best practices in testing, debugging, observability, and system design
Experience developing or extending simulation environments, such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Mujoco, or custom in house engines
As a Senior Software Engineer - Simulation / Support, you will accelerate the effectiveness of our engineering organization.
You will help engineers build better software, faster, while strengthening the reliability and debuggability of our robotics stack in production.
You will develop state-of-the-art infrastructure to test and validate Physical AI models, and help bridge the gap between simulation and reality by improving synthetic data and scenario generation with real-world data from our growing fleet of operational robots.

Undergraduate or graduate degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex cyber physical systems
Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python
Experience with robotic middleware such as ROS or similar distributed systems frameworks
Experience debugging distributed systems and working with real world hardware
Strong understanding of software architecture, systems design, and scalable tooling
Familiarity with CI/CD systems and automated testing frameworks
Comfort working across the stack, from low level systems to higher level autonomy behaviors

Support release readiness by strengthening automated validation, regression testing, and scenario based simulation coverage

At Diligent Robotics, we build artificial intelligence that enables service robots to collaborate with people and adapt to dynamic, human-filled environments.
