# Applied AI Engineer - Engineering Simulation & Design Exploration

About the Role Engineering simulation is undergoing a structural shift. What used to be a slow, solver-driven process is becoming a fast, exploration-driven workflow, enabled by surrogate models, physics-informed AI, and GPU-accelerated methods. This changes not just how simulations run, but how engineers design-moving from evaluating a few options to exploring entire design spaces. We are looking for a hands-on Applied AI Engineer to experiment with these emerging technologies. Your role is to try new tools, test them, benchmark them, integrate them into prototypes, determine what actually works in practice, and give an informed decision on its viability in Bentley’s products. The goal is to develop a clear understanding of where these approaches can realistically transform engineering workflows-and where they cannot. This is an experimental role. You will spend most of your time building and testing prototypes, not writing reports or maintaining production systems. **This role does not offer sponsorship What You Will Do: Keep track of new technologies in the field Evaluate emerging simulation and AI tools through hands-on prototyping Build and benchmark surrogate models against t
