We enable the most innovative engineering companies in the world to transform how they develop, test, and manufacture better products faster. Our software has been used to engineer mission-critical satellites, deliver stronger and lighter medical implants for patients in need, and allow engineers to create complex, high-performance products never before possible.\nOur team is searching for a dynamicField Solutions Engineer with a strong background in aircraft conceptual or preliminary design to join our Field Solutions Engineering team. Our most active strategic customers today are in Aerospace & Defense, designing air vehicles, and we're looking for an engineer who has worked inside that world and wants to bring that expertise to a broader set of customers and design challenges. In this role, you'll support customers across their entire journey, from technical discovery and product evaluation to onboarding, training, and long-term success. You'll collaborate closely with Account Executives, Customer Success, and Product teams to deliver technical demos, build design automation workflows, and consult on real-world applications.
