- 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in at least one physical engineering discipline
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
- 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in at least one physical engineering discipline.
- Background in applied engineering work and technical problem-solving.
- Practical experience with engineering tools and CAE workflows, including interpreting analyses and validating assumptions, constraints and results.
- Experience with technical artefacts such as CAD or BIM models, engineering drawings, schematics, calculations, simulations or specifications.
- Experience leading technical projects from initial scoping and estimation through execution and delivery, with direct involvement in the technical work.
- Ability to evaluate engineering outputs, identify technical inaccuracies and establish quality standards and acceptance criteria.
- Experience assessing or guiding technical specialists and recognising when additional expertise is required.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to translate complex requirements into clear instructions and lead cross-functional teams.
- Master's or PhD in a related engineering discipline is a nice to have.
- Experience developing engineering data, technical tasks or evaluation resources for AI training, model evaluation or benchmarking is a nice to have.
- Familiarity with CAD/BIM interoperability, open engineering formats or structured validation of engineering models and documentation is a nice to have.
Responsibilities
- Translate customer requirements into realistic engineering tasks, data specifications and measurable acceptance criteria.
- Assess technical requirements, review source files and develop representative samples to establish project feasibility.
- Shape the physical engineering domain strategy across areas such as CAD, BIM, CAE and electrical engineering.
- Develop multi-step engineering tasks and reference solutions across models, drawings, calculations and specifications.
- Lead pilots from sample development and expert onboarding through quality assurance and customer acceptance.
- Partner with Operations to transition projects into production while maintaining technical standards and domain quality.
- Build and qualify a network of specialist engineering contributors and reviewers.
- Work with Applied Researchers and tooling teams to develop technical verification methods and improve engineering evaluations.
- Provide effort estimates and identify specialist requirements, tooling needs and delivery risks for commercial proposals.
- Turn successful projects into reusable engineering samples, task libraries and delivery methods.
