About the job
Build and deploy AI-accelerated simulation models and workflows for engineering applications, from dataset creation and model validation to production integration.
What you'll do
- Design and orchestrate simulation campaigns; develop automated dataset and simulation pipeline infrastructure.
- Train and evaluate physics-informed models against industrial validation standards, collaborating with research teams to address model and data issues.
- Build agentic workflows and RAG systems connecting LLMs with engineering simulation pipelines, and manage technical work with external engineering teams.
What they ask for
- Ph.D. or Master's degree in a listed or related field.
- Strong grounding in deep learning and physics or engineering sciences, with hands-on experience implementing and training deep learning models.
- Ability to write clean, maintainable Python in Linux and HPC environments.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
Nice to have
- Experience with simulation solvers, ML for physics simulations or surrogate modeling, or automating simulation workloads on HPC clusters.
- Contributions to large-scale open-source or production codebases, relevant publications, or experience with static typing, unit testing, and CI/CD.
