Company

hirify.global develops software-defined hardware and collaborative autonomy systems for military and commercial applications across sea, air, and land.

What you will do

• Build and maintain configurable simulation environments and tools using Unity, Unreal Engine, or similar 3D platforms.
• Develop agents, sensors, environmental conditions, mission events, traffic patterns, and edge-case scenarios for autonomous vessels, drones, ground vehicles, and multi-agent systems.
• Develop closed-loop simulation workflows supporting software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, replay, regression testing, and automated scenario evaluation.
• Integrate simulation with autonomy stacks, mission software, command-and-control systems, sensor models, data pipelines, and testing infrastructure.
• Build tooling for scenario generation, orchestration, visualization, debugging, results analysis, and large-scale simulation execution.
• Partner with engineering and field operations teams to reproduce failures, incorporate field data, and improve system reliability before deployment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, robotics, engineering, simulation, game development, applied mathematics, physics, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of experience in simulation software, robotics simulation, game-engine environments, developer tooling, or automated test infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with Unity, Unreal Engine, or similar 3D simulation platforms.
• Strong programming skills in C++, C#, Python, or similar languages.
• Experience with configurable environments, scenario systems, agent behaviors, automated testing, closed-loop simulation, SIL, HIL, replay testing, or automated system evaluation.
• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance are required.

Nice to have

• Experience with Cesium, CARLA, Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, AirSim, cloud or distributed simulation, and CI/CD-based regression testing.
• Experience with autonomous vehicles, sensors, robotics systems, multi-agent environments, synthetic data, perception simulation, environmental modeling, or physics-based simulation.
• Experience integrating simulation with autonomy stacks, mission software, command-and-control systems, robotics middleware, telemetry systems, or real-time software.
• Experience supporting defense, aerospace, robotics, autonomy, simulation, or dual-use technology programs, including an active or prior security clearance.
