Antioch | Simulation Engineer | New York City | Full Time | https://antioch.com

Antioch is building the simulation platform for robotics and perception systems. Spin up full-stack digital twins, run scenarios to test and validate behavior, and deploy, entirely in software.

Role:

Build high-fidelity models of sensors and physical components:

— Design and implement simulation capabilities for sensors, actuators, and interactivity (contacts, dynamics, timing, noise, artifacts, etc.).

— Build and calibrate simulations for one or more sensing modalities (e.g. cameras, lidar, radar, infrared/thermal, UV), including realistic failure modes and edge cases.

- Model the full sensor pipeline where relevant: optics/RF + noise sources + signal processing (e.g. camera ISP behaviors, radar DSP stages).

Partner directly with customers to ingest their existing physical systems into Antioch (robots, sensors, actuators, environments):

— Translate incomplete specs + messy real-world data into working simulation models with clear assumptions and documented gaps.

— Drive the integration to completion: “runs in sim, matches reality within defined tolerances, and is usable by the customer.”

— Design and implement simulation capabilities for sensors, actuators, and interactivity (contacts, dynamics, timing, noise, artifacts, etc.).

— Build and calibrate simulations for one or more sensing modalities (e.g. cameras, lidar, radar, infrared/thermal, UV), including realistic failure modes and edge cases.

How to apply:

Submit an application to https://antioch.com/careers/38387

OR

Email Jackson at jackson@antioch.com with your resume and answers to the following:

AREO | Remote (EU) | Full-Time | Equity | Roles: [Engineering Manager (Ruby on Rails), Lead Product Engineer (Ruby on Rails)]

My name is Marius and I am the CTO at AREO (https://goareo.com/).

AREO, founded in January 2023 by a team with 20+ years of combined experience in retail and startups, is a young startup specializing in developing innovative solutions for supermarkets and grocery retail stores.

Our cutting-edge B2B SaaS platform optimizes workflows for employees by providing real-time access to inventory, product information, and customer inquiries. We serve large supermarket chains in Germany and across the EU.

About a year ago we brought a backend developer on board through "HN - Who is hiring" and are now seeking a Lead Product Engineer / Engineering Manager with a minimum of 8 years of experience (preferably in startups) as we just closed another large contract with a major retail chain and are growing quickly.

For both the Product Engineer and the Engineering Manager role professional knowledge of German is highly preferred.

Backend Stack: Ruby / Rails (8.x), StimulusJS / Hotwire / Turbo, AlpineJS, Postgres, Docker, DigitalOcean, OpenAPI, LLMs

Perks: Fully remote roles (Europe), work where you are most productive, sizeable equity in a rapidly growing company, flat hierarchies, no-ego work environment, work in a lean but highly experienced team

Apply here: marius[at]goareo.com and mention “HN - Who is hiring?” and the role you are applying for in the subject.

Formical | Software Engineer | ONSITE (Hybrid - Delft, Netherlands) | Full-time | https://careers.formical.bio

At Formical, we believe we can become the first sustainable generation on Earth. Biotechnology plays a key role in this future - benefiting all people, animals, and our planet by making industrial production more sustainable. But bioprocessing still runs on fragmented data and tacit knowledge. The infrastructure to turn data into the intelligence that teams need to scale doesn't exist yet, hindering the sector’s progress. Our product accelerates bioprocessing by connecting fragmented data, enabling predictive modeling, and ultimately closing the loop between measurement and action.

We're not looking for specific skills, just willingness to learn. I joined a couple months ago with little React/TypeScript full-stack experience, but with CC I managed quite well coming from a Python backend background. Nothing's enforced though! We're a small team, have some customers, and are looking to build out the platform and the client-base significantly this year.
