Robotic Automation Developer

Title: Robotic Automation Developer
Location: Austin, TX 78753 (100% Onsite)
Type: Contract

Key Responsibilities

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills:

• 5+ years of experience developing advanced robotic simulation platforms, integrating Robotics, AI, PLC logic and manufacturing systems.
• Proven experience building simulations with 40+ robots with software-in-the-loop Experience designing simulation scenario language/framework to enable developers and non-developers in modeling realistic factory conditions.
• Proven experience with different physics engines including Isaac Sim, Open3DE, Gazebo, Mujoco.
• Experience architecting and deploying simulations onto multi-GPU infrastructure for automated pipelines both on-premises and cloud-based Proven experience integrating robots through ROS 2, Fanuc/Roboguide, or similar interfaces, with >500 ROS nodes, and >5000 ROS topics.
• Experience creating discrete-event simulations for path planning optimizations Experience in creating co-simulations of discrete-events with continuous physics-based simulations Experience simulating multiple robots and sensors in real time, with realistic LiDAR cameras and physics behavior Experience with 3D model development creating high fidelity maps Experience creating useful simulation metrics and dashboards for reviewing simulation outputs Experience with developing simulation interface that integrates diverse APIs and data formats Experience with database design to handle users, static and dynamic assets, layout and route representations, and simulation sessions

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Physics-based simulation of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Cobot cells Simulation-in-the loop testing of autonomy, perception, and control software Reusable abstractions of robot hardware, sensors and PLC simulation Scalable execution and orchestration of simulations for engineering validation, regression and scenario testing.
• Establishment of a reusable simulation capability delivered as an ongoing deep tech engineering service, aligned with GM ownership and long-term extensibility.
