Software Engineer - Simulation & Robotics Engineer - Skydio - Remote - Global

Skydio is seeking a Software Engineer to build and evolve the core of the Skydio Simulator — a high-fidelity, real-time digital replica of the physical world used both by customers and by Skydio’s autonomy engineers every day. You will work deep in the simulator stack: from physics and sensor simulation, to hardware emulation, to the core architecture that runs our full autonomy software in simulation. This is a systems-heavy role focused on correctness, performance, and realism. Prior robotics experience is not required, but curiosity about physical systems and an interest in autonomous robots is essential. Responsibilities include designing simulator architecture, improving physics models, building sensor simulations, running full autonomy stack in simulation, developing new features, and optimizing performance. Qualifications include strong C++ and Python skills, experience with complex systems, and an interest in robotics. The position offers a salary of $170,000 - 240,000, with benefits including stock options, health insurance, paid leave, and 401K.
