About the position

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company of scientists and engineers, developing machine learning applications to massively accelerate physics simulations and enable a new frontier of optimization opportunities in design and engineering. Born out of numerical physics and proven in Formula One, we help our customers radically improve their concepts and designs, transform their engineering processes and drive operational product performance. We do this in some of the most advanced and important industries of our time - including Space, Aerospace, Medical Devices, Additive Manufacturing, Electric Vehicles, Motorsport, and Renewables. Our work creates positive impact for society, be it by improving the design of artificial hearts, reducing CO2 emissions from aircraft and road vehicles, and increasing the performance of wind turbines. We are a rapidly growing company but prefer to fly under the radar to protect our customers' confidentiality. 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 data scientist to join our team. If all of this sounds exciting to you, we would love to talk (even if you don't tick all the boxes). Note: We do not provide visa sponsorship in the US. Please only apply if you have the right to work in the US.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with our simulation engineers, machine learning engineers and customers to develop an understanding of the physics and engineering challenges we are solving
• Build innovative models to predict the behaviour of physical systems leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques
• Own the delivery of data science workstreams
• Design, build and test data pipelines for machine learning that are reliable, scalable and easily deployable
• Discuss the results and implications of your work with your colleagues and our customers
• Contribute to our internal R&D and product work

Requirements

• Enthusiasm about using machine learning, especially deep-learning and/or probabilistic methods, for science and engineering
• Ability to scope and effectively deliver projects
• 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
• Degree in computer science, machine learning, applied statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering or a related field
• Helped build machine learning models and pipelines in Python, using common libraries and frameworks (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Airflow), especially including deep-learning applications
• Software engineering concepts and best practices for collaborative programming (e.g., versioning, testing, deployment)
• Working in a cloud environment with one of the major cloud providers

Nice-to-haves

• Simulations for FEA/CFD

Benefits

• Be part of something larger: Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company
• Work with a fun group of colleagues that support you, challenge you and help you grow
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy
• Work sustainably, striking the right balance between work and personal life
• Receive a competitive compensation and equity package, in addition to plenty of perks
