Introduction
PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software.
We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations — empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility. Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.
We are about to take the next leap in building out our technology platform and product offering. In this context, we are looking for a capable and enthusiastic machine learning engineer to join our team. If all of this sounds exciting to you, we would love to talk.
Note: We are currently recruiting for multiple positions, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals.
What you will do
- Work closely with our simulation engineers, data scientists and customers to develop an understanding of the physics and engineering challenges we are solving
- Design, build and test data pipelines for machine learning that are reliable, scalable and easily deployable
- Explore and manipulate 3D point cloud & mesh data
- Own the delivery of technical workstreams, potentially while mentoring more junior colleagues
- Create analytics environments and resources in the cloud or on premise, spanning data engineering and science
- Identify the best libraries, frameworks and tools for a given task, make product design decisions to set us up for success
- Work at the intersection of data science and software engineering to translate the results of our R&D and projects into re-usable libraries, tooling and products
- Continuously apply and improve engineering best practices and standards and coach your colleagues in their adoption
What you bring to the table
- Enthusiasm about using machine learning for science and engineering
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyse issues, identify causes, and recommend solutions quickly
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills - with teams and customers alike
- (For more experienced candidates) Passion and track record of managing, mentoring and coaching more junior colleagues
- 3-6 years’ experience in a data-driven role, with exposure to software engineering concepts and best practices (e.g., versioning, testing, CI/CD, API design, MLOps)
- Building machine learning models and pipelines in Python, using common libraries and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, MLFlow)
- Distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Dask)
- Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and HP computing
- Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Ability to scope and effectively deliver projects
What we offer
- Be part of something larger: Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company. Work on some of the most exciting and important topics there are. Do something you can be proud of
- Work with a fun group of colleagues that support you, challenge you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields and solve truly challenging problems in science and engineering. If you are similarly capable, caring and driven, you'll find yourself at home here
- Experience a truly flat hierarchy. Voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo
- Work sustainably, striking the right balance between work and personal life.
- Receive a competitive compensation and equity package, in addition to plenty of perks such as generous vacation and parental leave, complimentary office food, as well as fun outings and events
- Work in a flexible setting, with the opportunity to collaborate in our lovely Shoreditch office and enjoy a good proportion of time working from home, if desired. Get the opportunity to occasionally visit our customers' engineering sites and experience first-hand how our work is transforming their ways of working
- Use first-class equipment for working in-office or remotely, including HPC
Our stance
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.
