About this role

Software Engineer - Simulation & Robotics Engineer San Mateo, California, United States, San Mateo, California, United States Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders , soldiers in battlefield scenarios , and beyond . About the Role: We are looking for 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. In this role, 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. You will help define how simulated worlds behave, how vehicles perceive and interact with them, and how closely simulation mirrors reality. 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. Areas of Responsibility: - Core Simulator Architecture : Design, implement, and evolve the foundational architecture of the Skydio Simulator, ensuring it scales across vehicle types, environments, and use cases. - Physics and Dynamics : Improve and extend physics models governing
