Full Job Description
ABOUT CODE METAL Code Metal is redefining code translation for mission-critical industries, helping defense partners move more quickly and reliably from algorithm to silicon. Our platform accelerates deployment of DSP, RF, communications, and embedded signal processing algorithms onto heterogeneous compute targets, including GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and edge SoCs. We also support automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor partners deploying complex algorithms onto constrained hardware with speed and rigor. ABOUT THE ROLE Code Metal is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Modeling & Simulation organization. This is a role for an engineering leader who can build and run a high-performing 10 to 30 person technical organization. You will lead engineers building scalable simulation, evaluation, data, and decision-support systems used to test complex algorithms, model operational environments, and support high-consequence decisions. The ideal candidate has managed strong software teams before, has a high bar for engineering quality, and knows how to turn ambiguous technical goals into durable systems, clear execution plans, and healthy teams. Experience in simulation, autonomy, robotics, logistics, planning, geospatial systems, or defense is helpful, but the core need is engineering leadership: architecture, execution, quality, hiring, coaching, and operational rigor. This role is equal parts people leadership, technical judgment, and delivery ownership. You will set direction, grow the team, establish engineering standards, and work closely with product, AI, systems, and customer-facing teams to build platforms that scale. WHAT YOU’LL OWN ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP - Lead and scale a Modeling & Simulation engineering organization of roughly 10 to 30 engineers across backend, data, simulation, infrastructure, and frontend/platform surfaces. - Set the technical direction for simulation infrastructure, scenario systems, data models, evaluation pipelines, and decision-s
