Simulation Engineer

Simulation is how Atlas reasons about futures that have not happened yet. This role owns the systems that model operational behaviour, explore scenarios, and support decision-making when the cost of being wrong is real.

• Design and build simulation systems for operational domains, including supply, movement, and disruption scenarios.
• Work with domain analysts and research scientists to make sure simulations reflect operational reality.
• Integrate simulation outputs into the intelligence layer so they can be surfaced as decision support.
• Develop calibration and validation practices so simulations can be trusted where they matter.
• Own performance and correctness of simulation runs across a range of scales.

• Strong background in simulation, numerical methods, or operations research.
• Production software engineering experience. Simulation systems are software systems.
• Ability to work with domain experts to encode operational knowledge into models.
• Comfort with uncertainty and with explaining it.

These are not required. They are the kind of background that tends to do well in this role.

• Experience with discrete event simulation, agent-based models, or system dynamics.
• Background in logistics, energy, or transport systems.
