📋 Description

• Build the sensor-simulation and synthetic-data backbone of the Unreal Engine simulation environment. • Build high-fidelity RGB and long-wave IR thermal camera models and render views from platform-mounted cameras. • Tune simulated camera output to approximate real-world camera performance, including FOV, resolution, framerate, and thermal response. • Implement realistic sensor noise, artifacts, motion blur, and failure modes. • Support camera articulation independent of vehicle orientation through gimbal/boresight modeling. • Publish simulated camera imagery and sensor data to ROS 2 topics using strive_msgs/strive_interfaces contracts. • Implement and test developer contracts and deterministic simulation requirements. • Feed perception and Target State Estimation pipelines with simulated sensor streams and ground-truth labels. • Build synthetic-data generation and export pipelines for imagery, bounding boxes, segmentation, range, and pose ground truth. • Implement target injection with configurable motion and dynamic target addition/removal during missions. • Support target-hint/track integration and ground-truth generation for TSE accuracy scoring. • Import external and Zone 5 platform CAD into the simulation as correctly scaled models. • Manage 3D assets, materials, and thermal material properties for IR views. • Enforce scenario-driven perception ground-truth rules, including proximity and fratricide detection. • Optimize rendering for real-time and accelerated modes and build headless simulation for parallel scenario execution. • Collaborate with the platform team to run perception simulation in CI/CD for continuous evaluation.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Game Development, or related field — equivalent industry experience welcome. • 3–6+ years developing in Unreal Engine with C++, including custom plugins/modules. • Working knowledge of ROS 2 and integrating it with a simulation environment. • Solid grounding in 3D graphics, real-time rendering, and camera/sensor models — projection, FOV, framerate, noise, and their effects on downstream vision algorithms. • Practical understanding of camera-based perception, including detection and tracking. • Comfortable with software architecture, design patterns, and collaborative version-control workflows. • Experience building sensor simulation for robotics/autonomous vehicles, especially thermal/IR or multi-modal sensing. • Familiarity with synthetic data generation for ML perception, including labels, sim-to-real gap, and domain randomization. • Knowledge of state estimation/multi-target tracking, including Kalman/EKF and track-to-track association. • Experience with edge perception deployment, including NVIDIA Jetson and TensorRT. • Familiarity with UAV flight dynamics, JSBSim/PX4 SITL, gimbal/boresight modeling, and camera-on-platform geometry. • GPU programming/compute shaders and procedural terrain or environment generation. • Python for tooling and data-pipeline automation; Blueprint for rapid prototyping. • 3D asset workflows using Blender/Maya or photogrammetry; distributed/networked simulation. • CI/CD for game-engine projects; deterministic/real-time simulation experience. • Must verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and complete required employment eligibility verification upon hire.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package • Comprehensive benefit package options include medical, dental, vision, life, and more. • 401k with company-match • 3 weeks of paid time off each year • 40 hours of sick time • 12 annual company holidays • Opportunities for professional development and career advancement
