About this role
We are looking for a Senior / Principal Solutions Engineer, Physics AI (CFD) with 5-15 years of experience to work closely with customers on their most important engineering challenges. We want a CFD expert with a customer-facing technical background who can turn complex engineering challenges into clear technical opportunities and shape solutions around customers' simulation and design workflows.
What will you be doing?
- Lead technical discovery and define approaches for complex CAE use cases.
- Deliver technical demonstrations, workshops, and proofs of concept tailored to customer needs.
- Partner with Account Executives through the sales cycle, and with Forward Deployed Engineering, AI/ML, Product, and Engineering on technical engagements.
- Identify technical risks, integration requirements, and product gaps, and contribute to proposals and scopes of work.
- Travel to customer sites for workshops, demonstrations, and technical reviews.
Key Requirements
- Strong hands-on computational fluid dynamics expertise; CFD-heavy simulation, not a primary focus on FEA and structures.
- Customer-facing technical experience in solutions engineering, applications engineering, or technical presales, with CFD or CAE depth.
- Senior or Principal level experience (5-15 years).
- BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Aerospace and defense exposure is a plus.
