(Senior) Software Engineer (m/f) 80–100%

About the job

To further improve the efficiency of computationally demanding assembly simulations, we are developing machine-learning-based (ML) methods to accelerate computationally intensive mechanical simulations. To support this development, we are looking for a software engineer with a solid background in numerical simulation, computational geometry, and machine learning in mechanics. This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of finite element (FE) simulation, ML-based modeling, and production-quality software engineering.

As a (Senior) Software Engineer – ML-based Mechanical Simulation, you will:

• Extend and automate synthetic training and validation datasets
• Optimize ML-models with respect to accuracy, robustness, generalization capability, and inference cost
• Integrate ML inference into FE solver towards production-ready industrial software solution
• Work closely with experts in BiW, simulation technology, software engineering and machine learning in an agile SCRUM-based setup

We’re looking for someone with the following background and mindset:

• Degree or doctorate in computer science, engineering, computational mechanics, applied mathematics, physics, or a related natural science
• Extensive experience applying machine learning methods to mechanical or physical simulation problems
• Solid understanding of numerical methods for engineering applications
• Practical experience with computational geometry, including efficient geometric and topological algorithms
• Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++
• Confidence to work with large code bases and to develop robust, maintainable software components
• Team player with a strong commitment to problem solving and collaboration
• Fluent English required; German is a plus

• A challenging role in a respectful and global working environment
• Being part of a world-leading, high-end CAE software company
• Working on cutting edge technologies for the automotive industry
• The opportunity to contribute directly to ML-supported simulation of complex engineering problems
• Professional development and continuous education
• Excellent balance between your working life and your private life through flexible home office and flexible working hours
