Forward Deployed Software Engineer

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.

Your role, first and foremost, is to help our customers solve their most important problems. As a 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.

As 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.

You will also have the opportunity to travel to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, for an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter, where you’ll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on‑site.

• Technical ability: Background in Mechanical Engineering or a similar discipline is a plus. You should have a solid foundation in software engineering, API design, and deploying applications to production, and a track record of solving hard problems.
• Proactivity & high ownership: You’ll be responsible for driving impact for our customers. We’re looking for a go‑getter who naturally finds problems and solves them end‑to‑end.
• Solution‑focussed: You must be customer‑obsessed and work alongside customers to understand their problems and build applications that change how they do engineering.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams: Work with data scientists and machine learning engineers to ship physics models to customers in a way that delivers maximum value. Collaborate with designers and front‑end engineers to shape the UX in line with customer needs.
• E2E 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.
• Backend development: Build and maintain RESTful APIs (FastAPI) and microservices in Python to serve Large Physics Models to end users. Deploy these applications to the cloud so they become key tools in customers’ day‑to‑day workflow using Helm, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS/Azure.
• PhysicsX development: Distill complex solutions into fundamental components, pitch and execute feature development on top of our core platform, and drive the direction of PhysicsX to solve ever harder problems for our customers.

Build what actually matters

Help 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 – something you can be proud to stand behind.

Learn alongside exceptional people

Work with a high‑caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work and helping each other improve. We come from diverse backgrounds and share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing complex challenges. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home.

Influence over hierarchy

We operate with a flat structure: good ideas win wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status‐quo is not just welcomed, it’s expected.

Sustainable pace, long‑term ambition

Building meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We…
