Simulation Engineer (all genders) - Simulation Platform

Join us as a Simulation Engineer (all genders) in our Simulation Platform team and help shape the future of autonomous mobility! At MOIA, we are building the next generation of safe, scalable, and intelligent mobility solutions. Simulation and virtual validation are at the heart of enabling autonomous driving systems to evolve rapidly while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. To strengthen our Virtual Testing capabilities, we are looking for Simulation Engineers who are passionate about building and scaling advanced simulation infrastructure. In this role, you will help internalize critical simulation know-how, reduce supplier dependency, and establish long-term ownership of mission-critical validation systems. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams and external partners to transfer, stabilize, and evolve simulation tooling that enables large-scale virtual validation for autonomous driving systems. You will join the Virtual Testing Domain within the Cloud System Development department. The domain is responsible for enabling scalable virtual validation environments and simulation infrastructure that support the development and validation of autonomous driving capabilities. You will work within Simulation Platform, focused on scalable simulation infrastructure, tooling, and automation frameworks. The role and the core team is primarily located in Wolfsburg. This is a pure Individual Contributor role with strong technical ownership and collaboration across multiple engineering domains. What you will do Be a digital twin engineer  Design and implement high-fidelity 3D environments that accurately represent real-world conditions.  Develop, calibrate, and validate vehicle models, including dynamics, sensors, and control systems.  Integrate digital twins into simulation workflows for system validation and testing.  Work with sensor models (camera, lidar, radar) to create realistic perception scenarios.  Collaborate with domain experts to define environment parameters, constraints, and performance metrics.  Develop scalable simulation and validation systems Design and implement advanced scenario toolchain and automation frameworks. Build reusable components for scalable test case generation, configuration, and evaluation. Ensure cross-platform compatibility, robust version control, and high-quality documentation standards. Support infrastructure scaling for large-scale simulation execution environments. Internalize and evolve simulation infrastructure Absorb, understand, and take ownership of externally developed simulation infrastructure and validation tooling. Support structured knowledge transfer from supplier teams into MOIA’s engineering organization. Refactor, document, and stabilize externally developed systems for long-term maintainability and scalability. Identify architectural risks, technical debt, and improvement opportunities in supplier-built componen...
