Senior Robotics Engineer

Autonomous technology is moving beyond the streets and into the deep ocean. Taglynk has partnered with a pioneering deep-tech defense innovator that is building massive, multi-ton autonomous platforms designed to operate for 30+ days in the world's most hostile environments.

We are looking for a visionary Senior Robotics Engineer to architect the entire simulation and digital twin infrastructure from scratch. Real-world testing in these extreme conditions takes months to plan; your work will be the high-fidelity virtual foundation that accelerates autonomy development 10x.

The Taglynk Talent Experience ✨

At Taglynk , we don't just match keywords to job descriptions; we bridge world-class engineering pioneers with high-impact, career-defining missions. As our strategic partner’s exclusive talent catalyst, we ensure elite candidates experience a streamlined, highly transparent, and sophisticated hiring process from first contact to day-one onboarding. We specialize in positioning specialized technical minds where their architectural choices directly dictate the future of deep-tech engineering.

### What You’ll Do:

• Build the Virtual Ocean: Develop high-fidelity marine environment simulations using NVIDIA Isaac (Preferred), Unreal Engine, or Unity, modeling complex ocean currents, buoyancy, and acoustic propagation.
• Hydrodynamics & Physics Modeling: Implement 6-DOF vehicle behavior models including accurate physics-based drag, lift, added mass, and thruster interactions.
• Sensor Simulation: Create hyper-realistic sensor models for sonar (side-scan, multibeam), DVL, LiDAR, cameras, and IMUs, factoring in environmental noise and degradation.
• Digital Twin & Infrastructure: Build comprehensive vehicle digital twins that mirror real-time states and optimize parallel simulation runs for automated regression and Monte Carlo testing.
• Integration: Seamlessly integrate simulation environments with ROS2-based autonomy stacks for robust Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation.

### What We Are Looking For:

• Background: B.Tech/M.S./Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 5+ years of deep expertise in physics-based modeling, simulation, or digital twin development for robotics or advanced game engines.
• Code & Math Mastery: Strong production-quality C++ coding skills backed by rock-solid foundations in physics, linear algebra, and numerical methods.
• The Stack: Proficiency with platforms like NVIDIA Isaac / Omniverse, Unreal Engine, or Unity, alongside hands-on ROS/ROS2 integration.

### Bonus Points For:

• Expertise in marine/underwater simulation or hydrodynamic modeling.
• Background in GPU-accelerated simulation, real-time rendering, or shader programming.
• Familiarity with underwater sensor physics, sonar simulation, or acoustic modeling.

Why This Role is Different:

• Technical Ownership: You aren't adjusting existing templates—you are designing a massive testing paradigm from the ground up.
• Elite Compensation: Top-quartile industry benchmarked compensation package, complete with comprehensive family health insurance and premium benefits.
• Leadership Track: As simulation takes center stage in this program, this pivotal role is structured to rapidly evolve into a leadership position.
