Nice to Have: * Experience with CAE, CAD, and/or PLM tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL, SolidWorks, NX). * Experience in a fast-paced startup environment., Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Automation, CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Computer Science, Cross-Functional, Electrical Engineering, Home Automation, Identify Issues, Machine Learning, Mechanical Engineering, Performance Management, Product Lifecycle Management, Prototyping, Scalable System Development, Simulation, SolidWorks, Startup, Technical Leadership ## Description Join an early-stage, venture-backed AI startup reimagining computer-aided engineering (CAE) for the AI era. As an AI/ML Engineer, you'll shape the future of engineering automation by building AI that thinks like an engineer - designing, training, and deploying models that accelerate simulation, improve accuracy, and unlock entirely new ways of exploring the design space. From adaptive solvers and reduced-order modeling to generative design and real-time validation, your work will push the boundaries of what CAE can achieve. You'll collaborate closely with experts in applied AI and mechanical engineering, integrating machine learning directly into high-fidelity simulation pipelines to help customers iterate faster, diagnose failures earlier, and bring better products to market. This is a rare opportunity to join early and make a foundational impact. What You'll Do * Research, design, and develop AI/ML algorithms to tackle complex challenges in simulation, design automation, and computer-aided engineering. * Build scalable AI solutions and collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate models seamlessly into existing CAE workflows and infrastructure. * Lead performance improvements - from optimizing model accuracy to analyzing outputs and addressing system-level bottlenecks. * Guide AI/ML projects from research through to production deployment. * Contribute to MLOps practices and help build robust, end-to-end AI/ML systems. ## Related Videos - [Cloud Vendor Lock-In - Is it just a new version of the Database Abstraction Layers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1185-cloud-vendor-lock-in-is-it-just-a-new-version-of-the-database-abstraction-layers) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
