Job Description:

As a Senior Software Developer on the SimCore team, you will build and deploy applied AI/ML solutions that directly support simulation workflows, internal tools, and mission-critical engineering use cases. You will operate at the full spectrum of innovation-from early exploration and rapid prototyping to shipping robust, maintainable production systems.

You will collaborate closely with simulation, scenario-generation, data, and engineering teams to uncover opportunities where AI can create value -then deliver solutions that meet clear customer and business success criteria.

We are looking for a Senior Software Developer with a strong applied research background. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience with state-of-the-art multimodal GenAI and/or 3D reconstruction models, and excel at building robust, high-performance inference pipelines. This role is not focused on training foundation models, but rather on fine-tuning, adapting, optimizing, evaluating, and shipping them as production systems.

Minimum Qualifications
  • Master's degree required, PhD preferred, in CS, Robotics, EE, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of applied ML/AI engineering experience, with at least 2+ years delivering production AI systems at scale.
  • VLM and ML world model building this physical model from. Sensor to sensor, and sensor to 3D.
  • Deep knowledge of at least one modern multimodal or 3D computer vision pipeline (e.g., NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, world models, diffusion-based generation).
  • Strong programming skills in Python, along with experience using a modern ML/AI library such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenAI APIs, HuggingFace, gsplat, etc.
  • Solid understanding of ML fundamentals including data preprocessing, training pipelines, evaluation metrics, and model performance optimization.
  • Ability to move fluidly between research exploration and practical engineering.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead projects end-to-end with minimal guidance.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Proven experience fine-tuning and optimizing foundation models (LLMs, VLMs, diffusion, 3D neural models).
  • Experience integrating models into simulation pipelines, robotics systems, mapping workflows, or AV perception stacks.
  • Experience with scene understanding, or computational geometry
  • Background in 3D geometry, graphics, or sensor modeling.
  • Proficiency with vector search/RAG systems and embedding pipelines.
  • Familiarity with GCP or other cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Docker, and production observability.
  • Prior experience mentoring teams, defining architecture, and leading multi-quarter technical initiatives.
