Founded in Norway, we've grown into a global technology company. AutoStore uses advanced software to automate and orchestrate order fulfillment. Our goal is to ensure orders arrive faster than ever, with minimal environmental impact. That’s how we help brands exceed customer expectations.\nWe have more than 1600 systems in nearly 60 countries, and we grow continuously as a community of employees, partners, customers, suppliers, and connected technologies. Automation should make life easier, and by listening carefully to our community, we innovate to meet the industry’s most complex needs. With AutoStore™, brands gain speed, efficiency, improved workplaces, and much more floor space.\nAutoStore - moving things forward.\nThe Role:\nAs a Robotics Simulation Engineer at AutoStore, you will build the virtual environments where our robots, grids and Physical AI systems are tested before they are built. Your work lets teams test far more scenarios than physical prototypes allow and find failures before they reach the field.\nYou will join the New Product Development Innovation Team in Atlanta and work closely with the Engineering Tools and Services team. Day to day, you will work with mechanical, electrical, controls, software and AI engineers to turn their questions into simulations they can run themselves.\nThis is a great role for someone who enjoys working across disciplines, building tools other engineers love to use, and seeing virtual results become real products running in more than 1,600 systems worldwide.\nKey Tasks and Responsibilities:\nDevelop and run physics-based simulation environments (e.g., NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo) for end-to-end testing of robots and Physical AI products.\nBuild digital twins of AutoStore hardware and compare them with lab and field data to measure and improve fidelity.\nSet up software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test benches, and add simulation test cases to regression and CI pipelines.\nDevelop scenario generation and stress-testing methods to find unknown failure modes and edge cases.\nWith the Engineering Tools and Services team, build tools and automated workflows so engineers can run what-if analyses and parameter sweeps without being simulation experts.\nGenerate synthetic data and simulation environments to train and evaluate perception and AI models.\nWork with each team to pick the right level of model detail for the question, and present results clearly.\nKey Qualifications:\n3+ years of experience applying simulation in robotics, hardware engineering or product development. A senior-level position is available for well-qualified candidates.\nHands-on experience with physics-based robotics simulators such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, PyBullet or Webots.\nStrong Python programming skills (C++ a plus), with experience automating simulation workflows and analyzing large result sets.\nSolid grasp of rigid-body dynamics, kinematics, sensors and actuators.\nExperience with automated testing, including software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop or simulation in CI/CD.\nPersonable and collaborative; able to explain results and their uncertainty to technical and non-technical audiences.\nBachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Electrical or Robotics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with photorealistic rendering and synthetic data generation (e.g., Isaac Sim Replicator, NVIDIA Omniverse, Unreal Engine, Blender) or reinforcement learning environments (e.g., Isaac Lab, Gymnasium).\nFamiliarity with system identification, parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis or uncertainty quantification.\nExperience with traditional FEA tools (e.g., Ansys Mechanical, Abaqus) and 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo or NX).\nExperience scaling simulations across GPUs, clusters or cloud.\nBackground in robotics, logistics automation or other electromechanical systems.\nWe Offer:\nAutoStore believes in taking care of employees and is dedicated to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. Join us in our mission to store and move things for everyone, everywhere.\nComprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision plans \nHealth Savings Account (HSA) with a company contribution \nGenerous Paid Time Off including 12 holidays, paid exercise time, paid volunteer time, and paid parental leave plans for all new parents \nRetirement 401(k) plan with employer match and discretionary profit sharing contribution \nEducational assistance and professional development programs, including mentorship/coaching programs with external industry leaders \nAdditional benefits include Group Life Insurance, Voluntary Additional Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, Employee Assistance programs, and more! \nAutoStore is an Equal Opportunity Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy-related conditions, and lactation), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws and ordinances.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5395,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Parental leave","Professional development","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Industrial IoT (IIoT)","Warehousing","Logistics & Warehouse Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T22:40:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:32","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/autostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/autostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T13:13:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19701,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20292},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20292"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fautostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fautostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fautostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/autostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fautostore-robotics-simulation-engineer-physical-ai-digital-twins"}]}
