You will be responsible for orchestrating the infrastructure, tools, and workflows that allow our autonomous trucks to be tested safely and efficiently in virtual environments. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, robotics simulation, and data analytics, directly enabling our AV roadmap.\nKey Responsibilities\nPlatform Leadership: Drive the evolution of our simulation platform to support increased scenario throughput, metrics, and scaling.\n\nTeam Development: Lead a team of high-performing software engineers and software validation and verification engineers focused on simulation infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, data verification tools, and scenario creation. You will be responsible for hiring, mentoring, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.\n\nSimulation Strategy: Oversee the development of advanced simulation capabilities, including high-fidelity sensor simulation, closed-loop replay of fleet data, and synthetic scenario generation.\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Planning, Perception, Control, and Safety teams to integrate simulation results into the development lifecycle. Ensure tools and dashboards meet the needs of stakeholders across the organization.\n\nInfrastructure Excellence: Optimize CI/CD workflows to ensure fast, reliable testing. Manage resource allocation to balance high-volume regression testing with on-demand experiment needs.\n\nProcess & Quality: Implement rigorous quality control workflows for scenario management. Standardize metrics and benchmark systems to track simulation performance, coverage, and mileage.\n\nQualifications\nExperience: 5+ years in software engineering, with at least 2+ years in an engineering management role.\n\nTechnical Domain Expertise: Proven experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or complex system simulation. Proficiency in simulation tools (Carla, Unreal Engine, or custom simulator development).\n\nCore Engineering Skills: Deep experience with modern backend technologies (Python, FastAPI, Postgresql) and frontend frameworks (React, Vite).\n\nInfrastructure Knowledge: Strong understanding of cloud-based development environments (AWS), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD orchestration (Jenkins).\n\nData-Driven: Demonstrated ability to build data pipelines that handle high-volume simulation data, including ingestion, storage, and visualization.\n\nCommunication: Ability to bridge the gap between complex engineering needs and stakeholder requirements.\n\nPreferred Skills\nExperience with sensor simulation (Lidar/Radar/Camera) and digital twin technologies.\n\nFamiliarity with data-driven testing frameworks and large-scale data processing (bag replay, event processing).\n\nExperience in hiring and scaling engineering teams in a fast-paced R&D environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2980,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"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":["Autonomous Driving","Road Transport"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T02:26:26Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":31,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":161389,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.3,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":106,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/plus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/plus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T13:12:14Z","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":19636,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"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":22363},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=22363"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fplus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification"},{"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%2Fplus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification"},{"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%2Fplus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification"},{"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/plus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fplus-engineering-manager-simulation-and-verification"}]}
