At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
We're looking for a Simulation Software Engineer to build and scale the robotics simulation infrastructure that lets teams develop, test, and validate robotic systems. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives at the intersection of robotics, software, and infrastructure — and who wants their work to have a direct impact on how autonomous robots get built and validated in production.
What You'll Do
- Develop and maintain simulation environments using Isaac Sim
- Set up and manage simulation infrastructure, including cloud-based environments
- Build tools, APIs, and workflows to support automated testing, validation, and internal tooling for simulation users
- Collaborate with software and testing teams to integrate simulation into development pipelines and CI/CD workflows
- Improve usability and scalability of simulation systems across engineering teams
What You'll Bring
- 3–7+ years of experience in robotics, simulation, or software engineering
- Hands-on experience with Isaac Sim (strongly preferred)
- Strong programming skills (Python preferred)
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and environment setup
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows
- Ability to work cross-functionally with software and testing teams
- Experience with additional simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, MuJoCo)
- Experience building developer tools or internal platforms
