Additional Information
As a Software Engineer focused on Modelling and Simulation at Auterion, you will build the simulation, analysis and test tooling used to develop and validate autonomous systems before field deployment. You will work across virtual vehicles, PX4/APX4 simulation, AuterionOS workflows, mission software, sensor models, Monte Carlo analysis and performance assessment. This role is ideal for a software engineer who enjoys building practical engineering tools, working with simulation data and enabling faster, safer development of autonomous systems. You will help reduce field test risk, improve engineering confidence and support evidence-based decision-making. Responsibilities and Duties Develop and maintain simulation environments for autonomous systems using Auterion technologies. Support SIL, HIL and model-in-the-loop workflows across PX4/APX4, Skynode, onboard applications and vehicle models. Build scalable simulation and analysis tools for mission assessment, Monte Carlo analysis, parameter sweeps and automated testing. Develop repeatable workflows for simulation execution, telemetry capture, log processing, reporting and visualisation. Assess navigation, guidance, control and mission performance across simulated, bench and field test environments. Compare simulation outputs against real-world data to improve model fidelity and system performance. Support verification and validation activities through structured simulation evidence and reproducible analysis methods. Collaborate with GNC, systems, software and field engineering teams to align models with requirements, operational behaviour and test objectives. Support CI/CD integration, code quality, documentation and reproducible engineering workflows. Help engineering teams use simulation as a practical decision-making and risk-reduction tool throughout development and deployment. Qualifications and Skills Strong programming skills in Python and C++. Experience building simulation environments, data pipelines, analysis tools or test automation frameworks. Familiarity with PX4 SITL/HITL, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, AirSim, MATLAB/Simulink or similar tools preferred. Understanding of UAV systems, flight dynamics, sensors, navigation, control or mission autonomy. Experience with Monte Carlo simulation, uncertainty modelling, statistical analysis or performance assessment preferred. Strong Linux, Git, containerisation and CI/CD skills. Ability to build practical tools quickly while maintaining repeatability and engineering rigour. UK citizenship and eligibility for UK security clearance required.
