Sr. Simulator Architect - Robotics - Unity

As one of the largest providers of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), Oceaneering offers cost-effective, innovative solutions to solve our customers' most complex challenges. With 99% uptime, our vehicles offer tough, reliable service for the full asset life cycle anywhere in the world - from development through to decommissioning. With a focus on secure remote operations, we can assure any operation, including rig moves, subsea monitoring, inspection, and more. With our next generation of subsea vehicles, such as the Liberty E-ROV and Freedom AUV, we push the boundaries of autonomy and remote work capabilities, using machine learning for better decision making and asset maintenance.

Oceaneering is a global provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore energy industry. We develop products and services for use throughout the lifecycle of an offshore oilfield, from drilling to decommissioning. We operate the world's premier fleet of work class ROVs. Additionally, we are a leader in offshore oilfield maintenance services, umbilicals, subsea hardware, and tooling. We also use applied technology expertise to serve the defense, entertainment, material handling, aerospace, science, and renewable energy industries.

The primary responsibility of this position is to design and implement robotic simulation software for both human controlled and autonomous vehicles and the subsea environment they operate in. This includes test and training systems leveraging simulation and control system modifications.
