This engineer is the technical bridge between Gatik's AI/ML team and its simulation platform team, ensuring the autonomous trucking stack runs reliably in a virtual environment. Day to day they build ROS2 middleware in C++/Python, script adversarial test scenarios, tune simulated sensors (LiDAR, camera, radar, IMU), and run headless simulations in Docker for large-scale cloud validation.
Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.
The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier™ serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.
We are building a high-scale, web-based simulation platform designed to validate autonomous systems. We have an R&D team producing AI/ML models and a Senior Full-Stack Engineer building the platform interface. We are seeking a Simulation Integration Engineer to be the critical technical link between these two teams. Your role is to ensure that the autonomy stack runs reliably within a virtual environment, creating the complex testing scenarios and ROS2 infrastructure required to stress-test our AI models.
This is a "Sim-to-Stack" orchestration role. While you won't be deploying to physical hardware, you are responsible for ensuring the virtual world provides high-fidelity data to the
autonomy stack and correctly captures the model's performance

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.
We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
