The company’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation by overhauling what industrial engineering and manufacturing look like today. PhysicsX is building a new simulation software stack to deliver deep physics AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. The company partners with leading organisations in aerospace & defence, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore and an expanding presence in the Bay Area.\nWho we’re looking for\nYou're a problem solver and a builder, who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp and apply advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (often directly on-site) to build CAE models that are integrated into AI-tools that are both useful and used. \nWe're building our Perth presence from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join at the founding stage of a regional team, with the autonomy to help define what this team becomes.\nYou bring a growing foundation in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and multiphase modelling, with the ability to apply core engineering principles to real-world problems under guidance from more senior colleagues. You have working knowledge of at least one of Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or Fluent, and are comfortable using built-in automation features to support scalable workflows. Exposure to parametric CAD modelling (NX or CATIA) and coding in Python/Java - or a demonstrated ability to pick up new tools and languages quickly - is an advantage.\nWhat you'll do\nIn this role, you'll work alongside our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and (with support) our customers to help define and solve engineering challenges.\nYou'll contribute to delivering high-fidelity simulations by:\nBuilding models from geometry clean-up and meshing through to simulating and post-processing, for simple to moderately complex cases, with guidance from senior engineers on the more difficult aspects.\nAdapting and using parametric CAD models (NX or CATIA), and beginning to contribute to simulation pipeline automation for design optimisation and DoE studies.\nSupporting customer-facing work by helping prepare and present results clearly, under the direction of more senior team members, while building toward doing this independently.\nWorking at the intersection of CAE and Data Science to help generate simulation datasets for training Machine/Deep Learning models, and developing your understanding of how data sampling choices affect model accuracy and cost.\nUsing Flux (our cloud platform) and on-premise HPC resources to run simulations, and learning how to apply smarter meshing and setup choices to improve performance.\nLearning and applying engineering best practices, and helping adapt CFD model setups and outputs to support Deep Learning surrogate development.\nContributing to a culture of collaboration and shared learning within the Simulation Engineering guild - for example, sharing what you learn, flagging gaps in documentation, or (at L2) starting to support onboarding of newer engineers.\nAs the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an Individual Contributor (IC) or a Team Lead (TL), especially if you’re driven to take ownership of more complex projects and lead the direction of future solutions.\nOur delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - read our blog to learn more about how you’ll contribute to this exciting journey!\nhttps://www.physicsx.ai/newsroom/how-delivery-makes-physical-ai-work-in-the-real-world\nWhat we offer\nBuild what actually matters\nHelp shape an AI-native engineering company at a formative stage, tackling problems that genuinely matter for industry and society. This is work with real-world impact - and something you can be proud to stand behind.\nLearn alongside exceptional people\nWork with a high-caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work, and about helping each other get better. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing some of the most complex challenges out there. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home.\nInfluence over hierarchy\nWe operate with a flat structure: good ideas win - wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status quo isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected.\nSustainable pace, long-term ambition\nBuilding meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in balancing focused, ambitious work with a life beyond it. Our hybrid model blends time together in our New York office with work-from-home days, giving you the flexibility to work sustainably while staying connected in person.\nWe value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics. \nWe collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with employment and equality legislation.
