## Description

### About the Role

Join an early-stage, venture-backed AI startup reimagining computer-aided engineering (CAE) for the AI era. As an AI/ML Engineer, you'll shape the future of engineering automation by building AI that thinks like an engineer — designing, training, and deploying models that accelerate simulation, improve accuracy, and unlock entirely new ways of exploring the design space. From adaptive solvers and reduced-order modeling to generative design and real-time validation, your work will push the boundaries of what CAE can achieve.
You'll collaborate closely with experts in applied AI and mechanical engineering, integrating machine learning directly into high-fidelity simulation pipelines to help customers iterate faster, diagnose failures earlier, and bring better products to market. This is a rare opportunity to join early and make a foundational impact.

### What You'll Do

- Research, design, and develop AI/ML algorithms to tackle complex challenges in simulation, design automation, and computer-aided engineering.

- Build scalable AI solutions and collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate models seamlessly into existing CAE workflows and infrastructure.

- Lead performance improvements — from optimizing model accuracy to analyzing outputs and addressing system-level bottlenecks.

- Guide AI/ML projects from research through to production deployment.

- Contribute to MLOps practices and help build robust, end-to-end AI/ML systems.

### What We're Looking For

**Required:**

- 4+ years of experience developing and deploying AI/ML models with a proven track record of delivering impact in applied engineering or scientific domains.

- 2+ years of technical leadership guiding AI/ML projects from research to production.

- Strong understanding of engineering principles in simulation, modeling, and optimization.

- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

**Nice to Have:**

- Experience with CAE, CAD, and/or PLM tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL, SolidWorks, NX).

- Experience in a fast-paced startup environment.

### Compensation & Benefits

- **Salary:** $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually

- Visa sponsorship available

### Location

On-site in **San Francisco, CA, United States**. Candidates must be available to work from the San Francisco office.
