The market right now
Alion currently lists 375 open Simulink jobs from 124 companies. 62 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 110 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
173 of these Simulink jobs state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $156K and $228K a year, with a median of $189K. By level, the median runs junior at $145K, middle at $183K, senior at $200K, staff at $200K, and lead at $238K. The step from junior to lead is worth about 1.6x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are United States (22), Japan (9), China (6), Poland (5), and Spain (4). 18% offer a hybrid arrangement, while the rest expect you on site.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Simulink jobs right now are GE Vernova (30), Blueorigin (29), Draper (28), Bosch (24), Lockheed Martin (13), and Airbus (13). 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.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Simulink (375), MATLAB (375), Python (202), C++ (167), Git (47), CI/CD (42), LTspice (32), and Verilog (25). 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.
Relocation, visas and equity
Of the current Simulink jobs, 23 state visa sponsorship, 68 offer a relocation package, and 62 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.
