About the Role
Bonsai Robotics is on the lookout for a talented Senior Robotics Software Engineer specializing in simulation. In this key role, you will be responsible for developing and managing our sophisticated simulation infrastructure. The successful candidate will design high-fidelity virtual environments that facilitate quick development, testing, and validation of our autonomy stack, thereby minimizing reliance on physical field testing and speeding up iterations across perception, planning, and control systems.
What You'll Do
- Develop and maintain simulation environments that accurately replicate real-world conditions, including orchards, row crops, uneven terrain, and varying lighting and weather.
- Create SIL/HIL testing frameworks that ensure comprehensive testing of the full autonomy stack.
- Establish and sustain high-fidelity sensor models (cameras, GPS/RTK, IMUs, LiDAR) that are calibrated against actual hardware.
- Develop tools for automated scenario generation, regression testing, and CI integration.
- Work collaboratively with perception, controls, and platform teams to define simulation needs and bridge the sim-to-real gap.
- Model vehicle dynamics and terrain interactions for a variety of robotic form factors.
