Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary."},{"title":"What these roles pay","text":"8 of these OpenVLA jobs state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $150K and $1.1M a year, with a median of $190K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable."},{"title":"Where the work is","text":"The largest concentrations of these roles are China (10), Germany (4), Japan (4), United States (2), and South Korea (1). 9% offer a hybrid arrangement, while the rest expect you on site."},{"title":"Who is hiring","text":"The employers with the most open OpenVLA jobs right now are NEURA Robotics (8), Humanoid (4), Origin (2), Noematrix (2), Booster Robotics (2), and FastLabel (2). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application."},{"title":"What employers ask for","text":"Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are OpenVLA (46), Python (31), Isaac Sim (31), PyTorch (30), Vision-Language-Action (30), MuJoCo (26), C++ (19), and Fine-tuning (19). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list."},{"title":"Relocation, visas and equity","text":"Of the current OpenVLA jobs, 1 offers a relocation package and 3 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you."}],"faq":[{"question":"How many OpenVLA jobs are open right now?","answer":"There are 46 open OpenVLA jobs on Alion from 28 companies. The list was last refreshed on October 16, 2026."},{"question":"Are all of these OpenVLA jobs still being filled?","answer":"Probably not all of them. 3 of the 46 show the marks Alion reads as a likely inactive posting: open far longer than employers usually take to fill such a role, reposted several times, or sitting on a board that rarely closes anything. They stay listed with a warning, and the list can hide them with one switch."},{"question":"What do OpenVLA jobs pay?","answer":"The median is $190K a year, and the middle half of the market falls between $150K and $1.1M. This is based on the 8 listings that state pay."},{"question":"Are any of these roles remote?","answer":"This selection is currently made up of on-site and hybrid positions. Use the remote filter on the jobs page to see what is open elsewhere."},{"question":"Which companies are hiring?","answer":"The most active employers right now are NEURA Robotics, Humanoid, Origin, Noematrix, Booster Robotics, and FastLabel. Each has its own page on Alion with the rest of its open roles."},{"question":"Can I get visa sponsorship or relocation?","answer":"Yes - of the current listings, 1 offer a relocation package. Both are filters on the jobs page."},{"question":"How do I apply?","answer":"Open any listing and apply on the employer's own board through the link on the page. No account is required to browse or to apply."}]},"jobs":[{"id":2708417,"url":"https://alion.io/job/ivo-ushenzhinengsuanfazhuanjia-vlafangxiang","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ivo-ushenzhinengsuanfazhuanjia-vlafangxiang.json","title":"具身智能算法专家
