It is the ten thousandth hour of operation. As OpenMind scales from lab prototypes to fleets deployed with enterprise customers, reliability becomes the product. You will build the testing, simulation, and observability infrastructure that tells us, every single morning, exactly how reliable our system is and what broke overnight.\nYou will be the person who asks \"how many times did this fail per 10,000 hours\" about every new feature, and you will build the automated systems that answer that question before code ever reaches a robot. You will be our first reliability engineer, and you will define how we measure, test, and guarantee reliability as our fleet scales.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild large-scale simulation pipelines that regression test every change against realistic deployed environments before release\n\nDesign and run structured reliability measurements: failure rates, mean time between failures, and degradation across hardware variants\n\nBuild fleet observability: telemetry ingestion, automated log collection, and AI-assisted scoring of robot performance at scale\n\nCreate the automated test harness that delivers a failure report on every engineer's desk each morning\n\nReplay new software against our growing corpus of real-world deployment data to validate changes before they ship\n\nEstablish reliability and safety standards as we move into certifications, insurance requirements, and enterprise SLAs\n\nWhat We Look For\nExperience in reliability engineering, test infrastructure, SRE, or simulation for autonomous systems\n\nStrong engineering fundamentals in languages such as Python, Go, and/or C++\n\nExperience with robotics simulation environments (Isaac Sim, Gazebo, MuJoCo, or proprietary equivalents)\n\nA demonstrated obsession with measurement: you do not trust a system until you have quantified how it fails\n\nThe interpersonal skill to hold a high bar without becoming the person everyone avoids. Rigor with warmth is the job\n\nNice to Have\nBackground at an autonomy company (self-driving, drones, industrial robotics) with real deployment scale\n\nExperience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or CI/CD for embedded systems\n\nFamiliarity with data infrastructure for large-scale log analysis","description_format":"text","description_chars":2271,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Robotic Software & Control Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T14:08:57Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.351,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":76,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":170000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openmind-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openmind-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T23:58:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16223,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":41134},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=41134"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenmind-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopenmind-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopenmind-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/openmind-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenmind-reliability-engineer"}]}
