Forward Deployed Engineer - Simulations and Physics AI - Series B $200M+ - San Mateo,CA

This Physics AI startup is combining high-fidelity simulation with machine learning to compress engineering design cycles from weeks to seconds. Backed by top-tier VCs and trusted by leading names in aerospace, automotive, and defense, they've built a platform that sits at the intersection of physical simulation and the next generation of AI. The technical foundation is serious: think surrogate models trained on thousands of high-fidelity simulations, physics-informed neural networks, and deep partnerships with the biggest names in GPU computing.This isn't a sales engineering role, but it does require real sales fluency. It's a deeply technical position for someone who has lived inside CFD workflows and wants to bring AI into them at scale, while also being comfortable owning the customer relationship from first technical conversation through to renewal.You'll work directly with engineering teams at some of the most technically demanding companies in the world, using your fluid dynamics background to diagnose simulation problems and design practical solutions. You'll script in Python to automate workflows and customize the platform, apply Physics AI models in real engineering contexts including surrogate modeling and PINNs, and translate what you're seeing in the field into product feedback that shapes the roadmap. You'll support pre-sales activities like technical scoping, proof-of-concept design, and solution demos, then carry that relationship through post-sales implementation, adoption, and expansion. Travel to customer sites when needed.Due to the nature of the client, candidates must be US citizens or Green Card holders.If fluid dynamics and Physics AI is your world, let's talk.No up-to-date resume required.
