Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.\nWe're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.\nThis is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.\nThe Mission:\nWe’re looking for exceptional Software Engineers to build and scale our robotics simulation environment. Simulation is a critical foundation for autonomy at Bedrock - it allows us to validate end-to-end systems, evaluate complex and unsafe scenarios, and run testing at massive scale.\nOur autonomy stack is deeply machine-learning-driven, and closing the sim-to-real gap is a core focus of this role. The simulator must accurately represent real-world physics - including terrain deformation for digging and earthmoving - while remaining efficient enough to support thousands of simulation runs. High-quality simulation directly accelerates robotics development, making this work central to our success.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nBuild and scale high-fidelity simulation environments for autonomous construction machines\n\nDevelop simulation systems that support ML-based autonomy, evaluation, and safety validation\n\nImprove realism and performance to better reflect real-world behavior\n\nHelp guide our strategy in scene generation and neural rendering techniques\n\nWrite production-quality, hands-on code and build real simulation content-not just prototypes\n\nWho You Are:\nSimulation spans many disciplines, and we don’t expect one person to do everything. Strong candidates typically bring:\nA passion for large-scale, realistic simulation systems\n\nExperience with advanced 3D simulation software\n\nExperience evaluating systems and improving realism to support autonomy stacks\n\nA hands-on mindset and enthusiasm for building core simulation algorithms and content\n\nWhat We’re Looking For:\nEngineering, math, or physics degree, or computer science background with demonstrated interest and strength in math and physics\n\n4+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with proven track record of building modular, maintainable, production-quality software systems in C++\n\n2+ years of experience with one or more 3D engines or simulation frameworks, such as: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Blender, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Omniverse\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with Rust or interest in learning it\n\nRobotics simulation background\n\nExperience with neural rendering techniques (Gaussian splats, NeRFs)\n\nBedrock Robotics is an Equal Opportunity Employer\nWe’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected characteristic.\nReasonable Accommodations\nWe want our hiring process to be accessible to everyone. If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process, please let your recruiter know so we can support you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3719,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics","Construction Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T21:06:15Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":257500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.439,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":98,"expected_fill_days":44,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T10:34:31Z","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":8958,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"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":668890},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668890"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation"},{"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%2Fbedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation"},{"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%2Fbedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation"},{"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/bedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbedrockrobotics-software-engineer-simulation"}]}
