Job Title: Senior / Principal, Simulation & Game Developer (Autonomous Systems)
Reporting to: Applied Robotics Engineering Manager
Location: Geographically flexible (remote-friendly)

Description

TurbineOne is looking for a senior/principal game developer to build an interactive simulation environment that brings our autonomous vehicle software to life. This role will focus on developing a “game-like” platform where both technical and non-technical users can design, run, and evaluate real-world scenarios involving aerial drones and autonomous maritime systems.

You will own the development of a simulation product that integrates our autonomy stack as the “agents” inside rich, physics-based environments. Leveraging platforms like Unreal Engine (AirSim) or Unity, you will create intuitive tools and immersive environments that enable rapid scenario testing, validation, and experimentation.

This is a highly cross-functional role at the intersection of game development, simulation, and robotics.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of a simulation platform that enables users to create and test real-world autonomous vehicle scenarios
• Build immersive, physics-based environments using Unreal Engine (preferred, with AirSim) or Unity
• Integrate TurbineOne’s autonomy software into simulation environments as controllable agents
• Develop intuitive tooling and UX that allows non-technical users to configure scenarios, define conditions, and evaluate outcomes
• Create systems for scenario scripting, playback, telemetry visualization, and analysis
• Collaborate closely with robotics engineers to ensure simulation fidelity and alignment with real-world vehicle behavior
• Balance realism with usability—build simulations that are both technically meaningful and easy to interact with
• Be a product owner—define and drive the vision for simulation capabilities; there are no tickets to crunch here
• Dream big—prototype, experiment, and iterate quickly on new ideas for how simulation can accelerate autonomy development and testing

Desired Experience

• 5+ years of experience in game development, simulation engineering, or interactive 3D application development
• Strong experience with Unreal Engine (preferred) or Unity, including physics systems and environment creation
• Experience building tools or systems for user-generated content (e.g., level editors, scenario builders, modding tools)
• Familiarity with simulation frameworks such as AirSim, Gazebo, or similar is a strong plus
• Experience integrating external systems or APIs into game engines (e.g., networking, real-time data, control systems)
• Understanding of enemy AI, complex scripting behaviors or other NPC mecahnics
• Strong sense of UX for interactive tools—especially for non-technical users
• Experience working through ambiguity and shaping early-stage products
• Bonus: familiarity with robotics concepts (ROS, MAVLink, etc.) or prior work in simulation for autonomy

Startup Culture Expectations

• We’re a small, fully remote team—everything is our responsibility
• Our team thrives on autonomy, trust, and strong communication
• You’ll be expected to take full ownership of your domain—from idea to implementation
• Comfort with constant change, fast iteration, and learning by doing is essential
• We value builders who experiment, share failures openly, and push toward impactful solutions
• Most startups fail—no one is coming to save us, and that’s what makes this fun
