Our models deliver ultrafast, accurate thermal and mechanical simulation and our platform puts that capability in the hands of every hardware engineer, not just simulation specialists. The quality of our models is bounded by the quality and diversity of the data they're trained on, and that data doesn't exist in the wild. We generate it.\nGeneral Description\nYou will join the data generation team and build the systems that produce the synthetic geometries, materials, boundary conditions, and simulation configurations used to train and evaluate our physics models.\nThis is a deep technical role at the intersection of computational geometry, physics simulation, and machine learning. The core challenge: write programs that generate families of hardware-like geometries and simulation setups - diverse enough to cover the space our models will see in production, constrained enough that every sample is valid, physically plausible, and useful as training signal.\nWhat you'll do\nDesign and build procedural generators for parametric, hardware-like geometry using programmatic CAD (e.g., CadQuery, OpenCascade, Build123d) or another tool of your choice.\n\nGenerate physically plausible simulation configurations - boundary conditions, material assignments, loading scenarios - that respect real engineering constraints.\n\nDefine and measure diversity and coverage of generated distributions, and close the loop between dataset composition and model performance.\n\nQualifications\nSoftware engineering skills, especially in Python\n\nHands-on experience with programmatic/parametric geometry: scripted CAD, B-rep and mesh representations, SDFs, or procedural generation in graphics tools.\n\nSolid geometry processing fundamentals: meshing, boolean operations, voxelization/rasterization, and their numerical pitfalls.\n\nComfort reasoning about physical validity - you don't need to be a simulation expert, but you should care whether a boundary condition makes sense.\n\nNice to have\nExposure to ML training pipelines and how dataset composition drives model behavior\n\nFamiliarity with LLM-driven code generation.\n\nFEA or thermal engineering experience.\n\nFamiliarity with quality-diversity algorithms, open endedness, deep learning fundamentals.\n\nFamiliarity with the hardware or semiconductor design process.\n\nWe're hiring across levels from strong mid-level through staff.\nWhy Join\nYour work is crucial to the company’s success. Model quality traces straight back to the data generating systems you’ll build.\n\nWork alongside researchers and engineers spanning ML, numerical methods, and hardware engineering on the frontier of AI.\n\nFast-growing startup where you own problems end to end.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2739,"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":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","E-learning","Foundation Models"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T04:11:42Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-25T14:29:32Z"},{"event":"restore","at":"2026-09-25T14:40:11Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.254,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":124,"expected_fill_days":44,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vinci4d-procedural-data-generation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vinci4d-procedural-data-generation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T11:32:53Z","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":13687,"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":716702},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=716702"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvinci4d-procedural-data-generation-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%2Fvinci4d-procedural-data-generation-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%2Fvinci4d-procedural-data-generation-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/vinci4d-procedural-data-generation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvinci4d-procedural-data-generation-engineer"}]}
