The market right now
Alion currently lists 49 open Obstacle Avoidance jobs from 39 companies. 8 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 26 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 1 of the 49 carries the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and is marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
18 of these Obstacle Avoidance jobs state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $159K and $209K a year, with a median of $185K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
