Senior Software Developer – Virtualization, SIL, and AI‑Enablement

Job Description

• This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Software Developer – Virtualization, SIL, and AI-Enablement based in Canada. This role sits at the intersection of advanced software engineering, simulation technologies, and AI-driven innovation within next-generation automotive development. You will contribute to the design and evolution of virtual development environments that enable scalable simulation, software-in-the-loop (SIL) workflows, and virtual ECU ecosystems. The position offers the opportunity to work on high-performance, compute-intensive systems that power modern mobility solutions. You will build backend services, APIs, and orchestration tools that support complex simulation pipelines while integrating AI/ML capabilities into validation and testing workflows. Operating in a collaborative, engineering-heavy environment, you will work closely with DevOps, simulation, and platform teams to ensure seamless system integration. This role provides strong exposure to cloud architectures, distributed systems, and emerging AI-enabled engineering practices.
• Accountabilities: Design and develop backend services supporting virtual ECUs, simulation orchestration, SIL workflows, and model execution pipelines for large-scale engineering environments. Build and maintain tools for software-in-the-loop workflows, including scenario automation, execution management, and data capture systems. Design and implement APIs enabling simulation control, artifact management, and orchestration across distributed systems. Integrate AI/ML components into simulation and validation pipelines to enhance automation, intelligence, and efficiency. Optimize performance of compute-intensive workloads across simulation, virtualization, and AI-enabled systems. Collaborate with DevOps, platform, and simulation engineering teams to ensure robust CI/CD pipelines and seamless system integration. Requirements: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. 7+ years of experience in software development, embedded systems, simulation, or virtualization environments. Strong programming expertise in Python, C++, C#, or Java, with experience building scalable backend systems. Hands-on experience with simulation or virtualization technologies (e.g., vECUs, FMUs, SIL frameworks). Solid understanding of cloud computing, distributed systems, and CLI-based tool architectures. Experience working with databases supporting simulation metadata, analytics, or engineering workflows. Familiarity with AI/ML fundamentals, including model integration, embeddings, or vector search (preferred). Strong problem-solving abilities, system thinking, and ability to work in fast-paced, complex engineering environments. Knowledge of advanced architectures such as microservices, Kubernetes, or ontology-based engineering frameworks is an asset. Benefits: Competitive annual salary ranging from $115,000 to $164,600 CAD, based on experience and qualifications. Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance. Paid time off including vacation, holidays, and family-related leave (parental, pregnancy, and adoption support). Defined contribution pension plan with company matching to support long-term financial security. Employee vehicle purchase program for employees and their families. Hybrid work model with on-site presence approximately three days per week. Access to cutting-edge engineering projects in simulation, virtualization, and AI-enabled systems. Inclusive and collaborative work environment focused on innovation, equity, and continuous learning.
