H-1B wage level

the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry

Level III · 3×
Level I$117,9981 entry
Level II$141,8352 entries
Level III$165,6933 entries
Level IV$189,5304 entries

$19,530 more — $189,530 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 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 $189,530 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Mechanical Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Mechanical Engineers (17-2141) · San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

About the role

  • We are seeking a Simulation Integration Engineer to be the critical technical link between these two teams.
  • This is a "Sim-to-Stack" orchestration role.
  • While you won't be deploying to physical hardware, you are responsible for ensuring the virtual world provides high-fidelity data to the

Responsibilities

  • ROS2 Stack Integration: Develop and maintain the ROS2 middleware layers (C++/Python) that allow AI models to receive sensor data and send control commands within the simulation.
  • Scenario Engineering: Script and implement dynamic testing scenarios (e.g., traffic interactions, pedestrian behavior, triggered events) using Python or simulator-specific APIs.
  • Bridge Development: Collaborate with our Senior Full-Stack Engineer to ensure simulation states and "Success/Failure" metrics are correctly streamed to our web-based dashboard.
  • Data Logging: Manage the serialization of ROS2 messages (MCAP/Bag files) for post-simulation analysis and playback.
  • Scenario Logic: Experience building event-driven logic and "adversarial" agent behaviors within a simulated environment.
  • Develop and maintain the ROS2 middleware layers (C++/Python) that allow AI models to receive sensor data and send control commands within the simulation.
  • Script and implement dynamic testing scenarios (e.g., traffic interactions, pedestrian behavior, triggered events) using Python or simulator-specific APIs.

  • Manage the serialization of ROS2 messages (MCAP/Bag files) for post-simulation analysis and playback.

Requirements

  • Expertise in ROS2: Mastery of ROS2 (Humble, Foxy, or Jazzy), including node composition, custom message types, and QoS configuration.
  • Programming: High proficiency in Python 3.x (for scenario logic) and Modern C++ (for performance-critical nodes).
  • Simulation Platforms: Proven experience with at least one major simulator (e.g., CARLA, Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, or SVL).
  • Linux & Docker: Strong experience in Ubuntu-based development and containerizing robotics stacks for deployment.
  • Systems Thinking: Ability to debug complex timing and synchronization issues between a simulator and a distributed ROS2 stack.
  • Your role is to ensure that the autonomy stack runs reliably within a virtual environment, creating the complex testing scenarios and ROS2 infrastructure required to stress-test our AI models.

Nice to have

  • Experience with automated testing frameworks for robotics.
  • Understanding of coordinate frames (TF2) and spatial transformations.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines for automated simulation runs.
