the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$27,075 more — $187,075 — moves this role to Level II and 2 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $187,075 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Developers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- At Gatik, simulation is the primary engine for scaling validation across millions of virtual miles.
- As a Senior V&V Engineer for SIL & Simulation, you will leverage Gatik's state-of-the-art simulation platform (Gatik Arena™) and SIL pipelines to stress-test autonomy software against synthetic scenarios, edge-case variations, and log-replays.
- You will construct automated verification suites that quantify software readiness before every production driverless release.
Responsibilities
- SIL Test Strategy & Automation: Design and scale automated SIL testing pipelines integrated into cloud-based CI/CD workflows for daily regression and release gate evaluation.
- Log Replay & Permutation Testing: Build automated workflows to extract disengagements or interesting events from fleet logs and transform them into parametric simulation suites.
- Autonomy Stack Verification: Validate stack performance across perception, planning, controls, and map execution against safety metrics and behavioral assertions.
- Simulation Fidelity Assessment: Collaborate with simulator platform teams to validate simulator realism, sensor physics models, and vehicle dynamic fidelity against real-world data.
