Senior Sensor Simulation Engineer, Radar

About the Role Before an autonomous vehicle navigates a busy intersection, before any Physical AI system is trusted in the real world, it has to prove itself in ours. Parallel Domain builds the platform that validates the next generation of autonomous systems in high-fidelity virtual environments. Our sensor models are how that platform earns its credibility with customers. A simulated camera, lidar return, or radar detection is only useful if it behaves the way the real device behaves — including in the conditions where the real device struggles: heavy rain, snow, low reflectivity, multipath, clutter. Customers train and validate perception stacks against our output, so the physics has to hold up under scrutiny, and we have to be able to demonstrate that against measured data rather than assert it. That bar is rising as the modalities we simulate expand and the questions customers ask get sharper. We're hiring a Senior Sensor Simulation Engineer to lead that work. This is a senior individual contributor and technical lead role: you'll own the technical direction for our sensor simulation portfolio — radar as the primary focus, extending across lidar, thermal/LWIR, and the broader multi-modal suite — and you'll be the person who decides where the physics goes next. You'll work hands-on building and validating models in modern C++, and partner with product and engineering leadership on where we invest. You'll be joining a small, deep team where your technical judgment carries real weight from day one.
