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.\nThe Role\nYour role, first and foremost, is to help our customers solve their most important problems. As a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer, this takes the form of building and deploying applications that utilize the power of our physics AI models to enable our customers to build better, faster, and cheaper.\nAs a member of the delivery team, you’ll work directly with customers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers to develop applications that change the way advanced engineering is done. We’re looking for someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, fundamentally understand the problems that engineers face, and build tools to solve these problems.\nWho We're Looking For\nTechnical ability: We work across a wide range of engineering disciplines, all of which are high complexity. Someone with a track record of solving hard problems is a must, a background in Mechanical Engineering or similar is a plus. This role deals with breadth across the full stack, having a solid foundation in software engineering, API design, and deploying applications to production is desired.\nProactivity & high ownership: You’ll be responsible for driving impact for our customers, whatever that might look like. We're looking for someone who is a go-getter and is naturally inclined to find problems and solve them end-to-end. You own the responsibility to get things done and will pick up the skills and experience needed to solve novel problems quickly.\nSolution-focussed: We build tools that customers need, not just the ones they want. So you must be someone who is customer-obsessed and can work alongside our customers to understand their problems and build applications that change the way they do engineering.\nWhat a day might look like\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams: Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to ship physics models to our customers in a way that delivers maximum value. Work with designers and front-end engineers to shape the UX in line with customer needs.\nE2E application design: Work with customers to shape tools that are impactful for their teams. Construct low-lift prototypes of your ideas and ship them directly to the customer. Rapidly iterate on this experience through constant user feedback.\nBackend development: Build and maintain RESTful APIs (FastAPI) and microservices in Python to serve Large Physics Models to the end users. Working with other software engineers in our platform team, deploy these applications to the cloud so they become key tools in our customer’s day-to-day workflow. We use a mixture of Helm, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS/Azure for provisioning and running our infrastructure.\nPhysicsX development: Distill down complex solutions built across multiple use cases into fundamental components. Pitch and execute the development of features on top of our core platform offering. Drive the direction of PhysicsX to be better positioned to solve ever harder problems with our customer.\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. This information is confidential, used only in aggregate form, and will not influence the outcome of your application.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4491,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Simulation & Digital Twin Software","Industrial AI","AI for Science"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-01-11T22:17:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.606,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":277,"expected_fill_days":96,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/physicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/physicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T22:07:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3526,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":251},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=251"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fphysicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fphysicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fphysicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/physicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fphysicsx-senior-forward-deployed-software-engineer"}]}
