Application Engineer, AI Physics

Job description

ABOUT RESCALE Rescale is pioneering the future of engineering and scientific discovery. As the leader in digital engineering, we’re transforming how products are developed—through intelligent automation, applied AI, data management, and the integration of the world’s largest network of engineering and R&D applications. Joining Rescale means becoming part of a diverse, collaborative, and mission-driven team that’s unlocking faster innovation across industries like aerospace, energy, life sciences, and manufacturing. We’re solving complex challenges that traditional HPC can’t—and we’re seeking passionate, curious minds to help build the next wave of breakthroughs We are seeking a highly motivated Application Engineer, AI Physics to help build and deliver the next generation of AI Physics capabilities at Rescale! This is a hands-on, builder-oriented role that sits at the intersection of product development, applied AI, and customer engineering workflows. You will work directly with the Rescale AI/ML team to build and ship AI Physics capabilities, while also engaging with customers to apply those capabilities to real simulation data and workflows. The role is customer-facing, but product-first: your work with customers is expected to feed directly back into reusable product features and capabilities. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working deep in the codebase, pressure-testing new technology with real users, and turning early prototypes into scalable product capabilities. In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For: - Build and ship AI Physics capabilities alongside the Rescale AI/ML team - Turn real customer simulation data into AI-ready pipelines using the core AI Physics product - Execute and harden early AI Physics POCs so they are repeatable, reusable, and production-ready - Debug and resolve issues across data preprocessing, models, inference, and workflow orchestration - Work directly with customer engineers to understand their workflows and technical constraints - Close gaps between customer workflows and product capabilities, feeding concrete learnings back into the product roadmap - Act as a builder first, with the ability to be forward-deployed on critical customer engagements when needed Key Qualifications: - Strong software engineering fundamentals, with heavy emphasis on Python - Hands-on experience with ML or data-driven systems in production contexts - Familiarity with simulation workflows and engineering data - Experience building and modifying data pipelines and ML workflows - Ability to debug complex issues across data, models, and workflow orchestration - Comfortable working directly with customer engineers on technical problems Customer Engagement & Travel - This role includes direct customer engagement, particularly during POCs and early deployments - Expect occasional travel to customer sites for deep technical working sessions, workshops, or critical milestones - Travel is purposeful and tied to execution, not routine sales support Why This Role Matters AI Physics Application Engineers play a critical role in ensuring that AI Physics capabilities are not only technically sound, but also usable, scalable, and trusted by engineering teams. Your work will directly influence product direction, customer adoption, and the success of AI Physics deployments in production. Rescale is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age. As part of our standard hiring process for new employees, employment with Rescale will be contingent upon successful completion of a comprehensive background check.
