**Company:** [Continuum Resource Network](null/companies/w2zHEeysMHvSbKNTHnZAfB.md)
**Location:** New York, United States
**Workplace:** on site
**Employment type:** Full-time

## Description

Continuum Recruiting is helping our client find a **Simulation Engineer** to join its founding team. This role is for a high-agency builder excited by the 0-to-1 grind of an intense early-stage startup. You'll take ambiguous real-world systems and turn them into validated simulations customers can trust, directly enabling new customer onboarding and expansion of the platform.

**What You’ll Do:**

-   Work with Fortune 500 companies and Magnificent Seven technology companies on systems that can make autonomous deployment safer and faster.
-   Own customer-system onboarding end-to-end, translating physical robots, sensors, and environments into our client’s simulation platform from the earliest stage of the company.
-   Build and calibrate high-fidelity simulation models for sensing modalities including cameras, lidar, and radar from first principles.
-   Work hands-on and onsite with customers to tune and calibrate simulations, taking them from roughly 80% to near-100% accuracy.
-   Define and execute test plans that quantitatively validate simulation fidelity against real-world data.
-   Build Python tooling and automation that makes calibration, testing, and onboarding repeatable and scalable.
-   Work in an intense founding environment where individual engineering work directly impacts customer success and company growth.

## Requirements

-   5+ years of experience building and calibrating robotics or hardware simulation end-to-end.
-   Hands-on simulation experience with sensors such as cameras, lidar, or radar.
-   Experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab; other simulators such as MuJoCo or Gazebo may provide a ramp-up path.
-   Strong Python skills for data analysis, testing, automation, and tooling.
-   Deep end-to-end ownership of at least one sensor or system simulation rather than surface-level simulator use.
-   Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar; a 3.7-4.0 GPA is preferred.
-   Personable, strong communicator who can work effectively with customers.
-   Broad builder mindset and willingness to work across domains.

**Nice to have:**

-   Experience with non-visible sensing systems such as infrared/thermal, UV, radar, or lidar.
-   Experience programming in Rust and/or C++.

## Benefits

-   Medical, Dental, and Vision
-   Meaningful equity
-   401K with generous match
