About Us:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Based in San Francisco, California, we are the world\u2019s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. We support customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Role Overview<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are looking for experienced engineers with deep design expertise to create challenging, simulation-based design problems for training and evaluating advanced AI models. The role focuses on crafting realistic engineering design tasks where a model must make genuine trade-offs, size components, and iterate against physics-based simulators to meet competing specifications.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Responsibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Design and validate simulation-based engineering problems that require true design reasoning, with clear constraints and optimization goals.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  • \u00a0Deliver complete problem sets including reference solutions, near-miss variants, edge cases, and documentation, ensure appropriate difficulty with multiple failure modes, and collaborate with researchers to refine problems based on model performance.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Domain Tracks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • You should have deep design expertise in at least one of the following; expertise spanning multiple tracks is a strong plus.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n

    • Engineering Physics \/ Optics \u2014 optical system design, photonic device design, laser systems, wave propagation and interference.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Aerospace Engineering \u2014 aerodynamic design, propulsion sizing, orbital mechanics, flight dynamics and stability, structural design for aerospace loads.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Civil \/ Structural Engineering \u2014 structural member and connection design, foundation design, seismic\/wind loading, geotechnical design.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Nuclear \/ Energy \u2014 reactor core design, shielding, thermal-hydraulics, renewable energy system sizing, grid-scale storage design.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Systems Engineering \u2014 system architecture trade studies, requirements decomposition, interface design, multi-subsystem integration.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Robotics \u2014 kinematic\/dynamic design, motion planning, actuator and sensor selection, mechatronic system integration.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Required Qualification:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Master\u2019s or PhD in a relevant engineering\/applied science field.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
      • 3+ years of hands-on engineering design experience, producing validated designs from competing specs (not just analysis).<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Proficient in at least one open-source simulation tool relevant to the domain.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Strong Python (or equivalent) scripting skills.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
