Data Scientist

Job description

## About us **Re-architecting Engineering for the Age of Intelligence** PhysicsX is the physics AI company for industrials. The company’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation by overhauling what industrial engineering and manufacturing look like today. PhysicsX is building a new simulation software stack to deliver deep physics AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. The company partners with leading organisations in aerospace & defence, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore and an expanding presence in the Bay Area. ### **Who We're Looking For** As a Data Scientist in Delivery, you are a problem solver and builder who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to transform cutting edge AI models into tools that are useful and used. You’ve worked on difficult problems that require strong foundations in data driven modelling and deep learning techniques, with hands-on experience in probabilistic methods and predictive modelling. Expertise in python, along with proficiency in libraries like NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, TensorFlow and PyTorch, is essential, with the ability to deploy scalable, production-ready models and data pipelines. With at least 1 year industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running. You’re truly excited about growing your technical expertise and are naturally inclined to take ownership of data science work streams, continuously improving the systems and solutions you work on to ensure they are practical, impactful and meet the evolving needs of our customers. ### **This Role** In this role, you’ll work closely with our Simulation Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving. You’ll build the foundations for successful, impactful solutions by: - Pre-processing and analyzing data to prepare it for use in predictive modelling, building the foundation for machine learning algorithms to be developed. - Developing and utilizing innovative deep learning models in combination with state-of-the-art optimization methods to predict and control the behaviour of physical systems. - Taking full responsibility for the quality, accuracy and impact of your work. - Designing, building and testing data pipelines that are reliable, scalable and easily deployable in production environments. - Working closely with simulation engineers to ensure seamless integration of data science models with simulations. - Contributing to internal R&D and product development, helping to refine models and identify new areas of application. - Engaging in open communication and presentation with both technical teams and customers, helping onboard users and co-develop with customers. You'll also have the opportunity to travel to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, **for an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter**, where you'll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on-site. As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an individual contributor or a technical lead, especially if you’re driven by taking ownership of more complex projects and leading the direction of future solutions. *Please note, this role is based in London, working 2-3 days per week in our central office.* #### **Our delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - [read our blog to learn more about how you’ll contribute to this exciting journey!](https://www.physicsx.ai/newsroom/how-delivery-makes-physical-ai-work-in-the-real-world)** **What we offer** **Build what actually matters** Help shape an AI-native engineering company at a formative stage, tackling problems that genuinely matter for industry and society. This is work with real-world impact - and something you can be proud to stand behind. **Learn alongside exceptional people** Work with a high-caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work, and about helping each other get better. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing some of the most complex challenges out there. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home. **Influence over hierarchy** We operate with a flat structure: good ideas win - wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status quo isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected. **Sustainable pace, long-term ambition** Building meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in balancing focused, ambitious work with a life beyond it. Our hybrid model blends time together in our Shoreditch office with work-from-home days, giving you the flexibility to work sustainably while staying connected in person. **And it doesn’t stop there …** 🚀 **Equity options** - share meaningfully in the company you’re helping to build. 🏦 **10% employer pension contribution** - because investing in future matters. 🍽️ **Free office lunches** - to keep you energised and focused. 👶 **Enhanced parental leave** - 3 months full pay paternity and 6 months full pay maternity leave, to provide extra flexibility during the moments that matter most. 🍼 **YellowNest nursery scheme** - to help working parents manage childcare costs. **☀️ 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Public Holidays)** - because taking time to rest matters. 🏥 **Private medical insurance** - 100% employee cover, giving you complete peace of mind. 💪 **Wellhub Subscription** - gain access to thousands of gyms, classes and wellness apps, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. 👀 **Eye tests** - because good work depends on good health. 📈 **Personal development** - dedicated support for learning, development, and leveling up over time. 💛 **Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)** - confidential wellbeing support, available whenever you need it. 🚲 **Bike2Work scheme and** 🚆 **Season ticket loan** - to make getting to work easier and greener. 🚗 **Octopus EV salary sacrifice** - for a simpler, more sustainable way to drive electric. *🔎 Watch this space, we’re continuing to build this as we grow…* We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics. We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with employment and equality legislation.
