About the role
- Collinear.AI is seeking a Member of Technical Staff (Applied Scientist) with deep expertise in engineering sciences to work at the frontier of AI-accelerated simulation.
- You will contribute across the full stack: curating high-fidelity simulation datasets, training and evaluating physics-informed models, and delivering production-grade AI solutions directly to engineering teams.
- Working cross-functionally across research, product, and client-facing teams, you will ensure models meet rigorous real-world engineering standards-not just theoretical benchmark metrics.
Responsibilities
- Execute Simulation Campaigns: Design and orchestrate large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers (e.g., OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus).
- Build Infrastructure & Tooling: Develop robust automated frameworks for dataset creation, simulation pipeline orchestration, and continuous model evaluation.
- Research Collaboration: Partner closely with the research team to analyze training runs, diagnose failure modes, and address data sparsity or architecture bottlenecks.
- Technical Project Management: Lead research initiatives and manage technical communications with external engineering teams.
- Ownership & Mindset: Self-directed operator who thrives with autonomy, maintains a low-ego approach to collaboration, and excels in fast-paced environments at the intersection of simulation and ML.
- Key target domains include computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural mechanics, semiconductor design, multi-physics modeling, and digital twins.
- Design and orchestrate large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers (e.g., OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus).
- Train & Validate Models:
- Build Infrastructure & Tooling:
- Develop robust automated frameworks for dataset creation, simulation pipeline orchestration, and continuous model evaluation.
Requirements
- Framework Proficiency:
- Demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable Python in Linux and High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both specialized engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ph.D. or Master's degree in Machine Learning, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computational Physics, Structural Mechanics, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field.
- Solid grounding in deep learning principles paired with a strong foundation in physics or engineering sciences.
- Hands-on experience implementing and training deep learning models.
- Self-directed operator who thrives with autonomy, maintains a low-ego approach to collaboration, and excels in fast-paced environments at the intersection of simulation and ML.
Nice to have
- Hands-on industrial or academic experience with simulation solvers (e.g., OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus).
- Track record of automating large-scale simulation workloads on HPC clusters.
- Meaningful contributions to large-scale open-source projects or production codebases.
- Strong software engineering discipline, including static typing, unit testing, and CI/CD maintenance.
Benefits
- Train & Validate Models: Train AI models on physics datasets and conduct rigorous evaluations of coverage, accuracy, and output quality against industrial validation standards.
- Education: Ph.D. or Master's degree in Machine Learning, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computational Physics, Structural Mechanics, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field.
- Technical Mastery: Solid grounding in deep learning principles paired with a strong foundation in physics or engineering sciences.
- Framework Proficiency: Hands-on experience implementing and training deep learning models.
