Software Engineering Manager - Stimulation

ppbEngineering Manager Software (f/m/d) - Simulation /b /p pbHexagon Robotics /bis a division of Hexagon – a global leader in precision measurement. Established in 2025, Hexagon Robotics develops humanoid robots for industrial sectors to address labor shortages and enable the transition from automation to autonomy. The first humanoid product, AEON, was launched in June 2025 and combines agility, awareness, spatial intelligence and versatility to provide a market-leading solution for automotive, transportation, aerospace, manufacturing, and logistics customers. /p pAsb Engineering Manager Software /b for bSimulation /b, you will lead the team building the virtual environments, tooling, and workflows that help bring AEON from concept to reliable industrial deployment.

This role combines hands-on software engineering with people leadership, giving you the opportunity to shape a high-impact simulation platform while enabling state of the art robotics teams to develop, test, and validate faster. /p pbYour Mission /b /p ul liLead and grow a team of simulation engineers who build and maintain the simulation platform and tooling for the robotics organization /li liBe a hands-on player/coach: contribute to design and implementation yourself (primarily Python, with simulation engines such as Nvidia Omniverse / Isaac Sim or Gazebo), while enabling the team to deliver sustainably /li liOwn the simulation roadmap: translate the needs of robotics domain teams (control, perception, manipulation, mission) into clear team objectives, milestones, and an achievable delivery plan /li liDrive complex system integrations across multiple technology stacks to continuously

enhance the simulation platform's fidelity and usability /li liOwn the engineering management fundamentals: hiring support, onboarding, 1:1s, feedback, performance and career development, and building a healthy team culture /li liEvaluate build-vs-buy decisions: determine when to implement solutions in-house and when to collaborate with third-party vendors (e.g., Nvidia) to accelerate the platform /li liDrive high quality and reliability of simulation software through code reviews, engineering best practices, and automated testing /li liRemove obstacles and drive resolution of cross-system issues that span simulation, CI/CD, and robotics subsystems /li liStrengthen collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders (robotics engineers, DevOps, product, systems) to ensure the simulation platform meets evolving development and validation needs /li liContinuously improve how the team works:

process, tooling, observability, and pragmatic technical debt management /li /ul pbYour Skillset /b /p ul liMSc or PhD in Robotics/Computer Science or related field /li liProven line management experience (e.g., team lead / engineering manager / tech lead with people responsibility), including coaching, feedback, and supporting career growth /li liExperience and interest in roadmap planning for your team.

You initially own this. /li liStrong hands-on software engineering background with production experience in Python on Linux.you understand not only how to write Python code but also how to package and deploy it /li liExperience with simulation or game engines and related tooling (preferably Nvidia Omniverse / Isaac Sim; alternatively Unreal, Unity, or Gazebo) and familiarity with typical tasks when working with 3D assets (OpenUSD, URDF, mesh file manipulation) /li liAbility to lead through influence: facilitate technical discussions, align stakeholders, and support engineers in decision-making without micromanaging /li liSolid understanding of software quality practices: code reviews, test strategies, CI/CD, debugging, and operational readiness /li liStrong communication and organizational skills: you can set direction, create clarity, and keep execution moving across multiple

stakeholders and teams /li liA pragmatic, delivery-oriented mindset: you bring a startup mentality with focus on iterative, usable solutions for the end user while maintaining long-term platform integrity /li /ul pbWhat You’ll Get /b /p ul liFlexible working hours and a hybrid model for real work-life balance /li liCHF 500 mobility credit for sustainable commuting /li liBonus system strong pension contributions /li liTailored training development opportunities /li liRelocation support for a smooth start /li liDiscounts on health, mobility entertainment /li liTeam events and a flat hierarchy where your voice counts /li liA warm, international culture built on respect and collaboration /li /ul /p
