TL;DR · Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer on the SimCore team, you will build and deploy applied AI/ML solutions that support simulation workflows, internal tools, and mission-critical engineering use cases. You will manage the full lifecycle of innovation, from rapid prototyping to shipping robust production systems. Your daily work involves collaborating with simulation, data, and engineering teams to identify where AI can create value. The role focuses on fine-tuning, adapting, and optimizing models rather than training foundation models. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python and libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, or OpenAI APIs. You will work with multimodal GenAI, 3D reconstruction models like NeRF or Gaussian Splatting, and inference pipelines. The role addresses complex problems in world model building, sensor-to-sensor mapping, and integrating AI into robotics systems or autonomous vehicle perception stacks.
