Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><h2>About us</h2>
<div>PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software.</div>
<div>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 &amp; Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.</div></div><h4><strong>Note:&nbsp;</strong>We are currently recruiting for multiple positions, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals.</h4>
<h1>The Role</h1>
<p>The Senior Simulation Data Engineer will extend and operate the infrastructure that powers our research Data Factory. You will be responsible for the end-to-end pipeline: from geometry preparation and simulation orchestration through validation, post-processing, and delivery to downstream ML training systems, using PhysicsX platform orchestration services where synergies exist.</p>
<p>This role sits at the intersection of HPC engineering and data engineering. You will orchestrate long-running CFD simulations at scale, build robust data pipelines, and ensure that every simulation we produce meets rigorous quality standards.</p>
<h2>Team Context</h2>
<p>In this role, you will be vertically embedded in Research , working daily with:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Research Scientists</strong> who define data requirements and quality standards</li>
<li><strong>ML Engineers</strong> who consume Data Factory outputs for model training</li>
<li><strong>ML Infrastructure Engineers</strong> who are accountable for downstream training infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<p>You will have end-to-end responsibilities over the Data Factory, with the autonomy to make architectural decisions and the responsibility to keep data flowing reliably.</p>
<p>Horizontally, you will be part of an infrastructure engineering group responsible for infrastructure across the company.</p>
<h1>What you will do</h1>
<h2>Simulation Orchestration</h2>
<ul>
<li>Extend and operate the Data Factory infrastructure that orchestrates thousands of CFD simulations per day on cloud compute</li>
<li>Design and operate job scheduling systems that maximize throughput while handling failures gracefully</li>
<li>Build monitoring and alerting to detect simulation failures, converge
