Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer We are Aptiv, a global technology company with 200,000 specialists in 48 countries. We develop innovative software and build the hardware that powers autonomous vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, connected mobility, and intelligent automation. Working with nearly every major automotive manufacturer, our technologies are already integrated into millions of vehicles worldwide. As part of our expansion into Robotics, we are building next-generation Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Drone platforms for warehouse, industrial, and adjacent markets. To accelerate development and deployment, we are looking for a Senior Robotics Simulation Engineer to drive the creation of high-fidelity simulation environments, digital twins, and validation frameworks that enable rapid development, testing, and optimization of autonomous systems. In this role, you will be responsible for developing scalable simulation infrastructure that allows robotics teams to collect synthetic data for AI model training, as well as validate perception, localization, planning, navigation, and control algorithms before deployment to real-world platforms. You will work closely with perception and hardware teams to bridge the gap between simulation and reality, enabling faster iteration cycles, improved safety, and robust system performance across multiple robot form factors. Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain high-fidelity simulation environments for AMRs and drone platforms using industry-standard tools such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, ROS 2 and NVIDIA Omniverse. Build digital twins of warehouse, manufacturing, and industrial environments to support algorithm development, testing, and customer demonstrations. Develop simulation models for sensors including Radar, cameras, Lidar, IMUs, GPS, radar depth sensors with realistic environmental effects and noise profiles. Create automated validation and testing pipelines that support continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of robotics software. Generate synthetic datasets for training and validation of AI, perception, and navigation algorithms. Develop tools and metrics to measure simulation fidelity and evaluate sim-to-real performance. Collaborate with autonomy and controls teams to validate perception, localization, mapping, planning, and motion-control algorithms at scale. Build large-scale scenario generation and regression testing frameworks to ensure safety and reliability under diverse operating conditions. Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) testing workflows. Partner with product and customer teams to reproduce field issues in simulation and accelerate root-cause analysis. Contribute to the overall simulation strategy and technology roadmap for Aptiv Robotics. Required Qualifications MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field. 5+ years of experience developing simulation environments for robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, aerospace, or related domains. Strong programming skills in Python and C++. Hands-on experience with ROS 2 and modern robotics software architectures. Experience with robotics simulation platforms such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Omniverse, Gazebo, Webots, Unity, or Unreal Engine. Deep understanding of robotics fundamentals, including perception, localization, mapping, motion planning, controls, and sensor fusion. Experience developing models for robotic sensors and vehicle dynamics. Hands-on experience with Blender, 3D modeling tools, or CAD software for creating and preparing simulation assets. Familiarity with cloud-based simulation, distributed testing, and large-scale scenario execution. Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Preferred Qualifications Experience with AMRs, drones, autonomous vehicles, or industrial robotics platforms. Knowledge of synthetic data generation for machine learning and computer vision applications. Experience with reinforcement learning, AI-driven simulation workflows, or digital twin technologies. Familiarity with GPU-accelerated simulation environments and NVIDIA robotics ecosystems. Experience building simulation frameworks used for safety-critical autonomous systems.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
