Forward Deployed Engineer, Physics & Simulation

A strong foundation in numerical simulation of continuum systems – fluid dynamics, heat transfer, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, or similar – gained through graduate research, industry, or both

Hands-on experience solving partial differential equations numerically, including mesh generation, solver tuning, and debugging numerical instabilities

Solid Python skills for scripting and scientific computing (NumPy, SciPy, or similar)

A process engineer’s instinct: you treat simulations as tools for answering real process questions, not just jobs to run

Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working directly with customer engineers

Willingness to spend extended periods on-site in Taiwan

A self-starter mindset: you can take a technical problem from definition to deployed result without much hand-holding

CFD background, including tools like OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent, Star-CCM+, or custom solvers

Grad-level research experience building simulation software in domains like mechanical or chemical engineering, weather modeling, astrophysics, or materials processing

Familiar with semiconductor manufacturing processes

Familiarity with physics-informed ML, surrogate modeling, or neural operators applied to simulation acceleration

Experience integrating simulation tools into larger software platforms or automated optimization pipelines

Mandarin proficiency for on-site collaboration in Taiwan

Lab or experimental background, with an appreciation for how simulation connects to physical data

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or similar experience

Location: Menlo Park, CA (Soon: San Francisco, too) + frequent travel to Taiwan

Compensation: $200,000-$275,000 + equity

Visa sponsorship: Yes, we sponsor visas.
