Senior Simulation Engineering – Autonomous Driving, Land Domain (m/f/d)

About the role: As Senior Simulation Engineer – Autonomous Driving, Land Domain, you will play a key role in shaping the simulation capabilities that enable us to develop, test, and validate the next generation of autonomous ground systems at scale. You will design and evolve realistic, reliable, and reproducible virtual environments in which our autonomy software can be developed and challenged long before a physical vehicle enters the field. You will take strong technical ownership of simulation systems, architecture, and engineering decisions, helping to define how simulation is integrated into our autonomy development and verification workflows. You will tackle complex technical challenges hands-on, challenge existing approaches, identify limitations, and continuously improve the quality, scalability, and effectiveness of our simulation environment. As a senior engineer, you will also act as a technical sparring partner for other engineers. You will share your expertise, review technical approaches, mentor less experienced colleagues, and contribute to engineering standards and best practices, while enabling teams to retain ownership of their respective systems and decisions. Working closely with engineers across autonomy, perception, localization, planning and control, platform software, verification, and vehicle integration, you will translate complex simulation needs into robust technical solutions. You will help align interfaces and requirements across teams and ensur
