About us PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software. We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations — empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility.

Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive. Note: We are currently recruiting for multiple positions, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals. Who We're Looking For As an Simulation Engineer - FEA, you will build hands-on experience applying finite element analysis to real-world engineering challenges across multiple industries including aerospace and defense.

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. You bring expertise in structural mechanics, and materials science with a solid ability to apply fundamental knowledge to real-world phenomena across a wide range of engineering applications. Highly proficient in at least one of NASTRAN, ABAQUS or ANSYS Mechanical, adept at automating these tools to create scalable optimisation workflows that drive impactful results.

Exposure to open-source FEA tools (CalculiX, FEniCS), or explicit dynamics (LS-DYNA, Abaqus/Explicit) is a plus. Proficiency in parametric CAD modelling (NX or CATIA) and coding in Python, (or the ability to quickly learn programming languages), is an advantage. With 1-2 years of industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running.

You’re confident setting up FEA simulations independently, interpreting complex results with depth, and making informed decisions based on solid engineering judgement. Familiarity with turbomachinery analysis, gas turbine, or aircraft structural sizing is a natural fit for this role. Experience with multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) is a bonus, though not essential at this level.

In addition, background in composite materials analysis alongside some exposure to damage tolerance and fracture mechanics, would be a strong fit as well. S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license. This Role In this role, you’ll work closely with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering challenges we are solving.

You’ll play a crucial role in delivering high-fidelity simulations by: Assist in building complex structural and multi-physics models from geometry clean-up and meshing, to simulating and post-processing complex real-world phenomena, integrating experimental data for model validation. Building robust parametric CAD models (NX or CATIA) coupled with simulation pipeline automation through scripting, for executing advanced design optimization and DoE studies. Partner with customers to address their most complex engineering challenges through advanced FEA & AI solutions; communicate results clearly Working at the intersection of CAE and Data Science to generate high-quality simulation datasets for training Machine/Deep Learning models.
