Building the world's most capable robots requires advanced software. At Boston Dynamics, our teams rely on simulation capabilities and supporting infrastructure to accelerate development and move quickly. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Simulation Platform team, you will help develop the tools and infrastructure that embed simulation throughout the robot development lifecycle. Join us and be a part of changing people's perception of what robots can do!

  • Develop and extend core simulation software, visualization, and analysis tools, synthetic data pipelines, scenario authoring workflows, and validation and testing infrastructure.
  • Build well-designed, reusable applications and libraries, leveraged by product teams across the organization.
  • Design and support testing and execution environments, including local development setups, cloud platforms, high-performance GPU clusters, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.
  • Write high quality and performant C++ and Python code.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years experience as a Software Engineer working in cross-platform robotics (or related) codebases.
  • Demonstrated proficiency writing performant, well-structured, testable C++/Python code, in production settings.
  • Familiarity with simulation fundamentals (physics engines, sensor modeling, or 3D graphics/visualization).
  • Strong communicator and team player, thriving in cross-functional, collaborative environments.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies, tools, and programming languages.
  • Experience with physics engines (e.g., MuJoCo, Gazebo, PhysX, etc.), simulation platforms (e.g., Isaac Sim, Omniverse, etc.) and Digital content creation/Game Engines (e.g., Maya, Blender, Unity, Unreal).
  • Experience with HIL systems in robotics (or related areas) for testing and validation.
  • Experience building tools for synthetic data generation, scenario authoring, or automated validation.
  • Experience applying simulation in machine learning workflows, particularly reinforcement learning.
  • Graduate degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical discipline.
  • Familiarity with Bazel.
