Applied Scientist / Research Engineer, AI4Engineering
Role overview
Mistral AI is looking for Applied Scientists with deep expertise in engineering sciences to work at the frontier of AI-accelerated simulation. You will work with industrial customers and internal research teams to build and deploy AI Physics Models alongside our existing offerings of Large Language Models (LLMs).
You will contribute across the full stack: curating high-fidelity simulation datasets, training and evaluating models, and delivering production-grade AI solutions directly to engineering teams. Target domains include computational fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, semiconductor design, multi-physics modelling, and digital twins.
Working cross-functionally with research, product, and customer-facing teams, you will ensure our models meet real engineering standards — not just benchmark metrics.
Responsibilities
- check_circle Design and run large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers (e.g. OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus)
- check_circle Run training of AI models on physics data, with rigorous evaluation of coverage, accuracy, and quality against industry validation standards
- check_circle Build tools and frameworks for automated dataset creation, simulation pipeline management, and model evaluation
- check_circle Develop agents and RAG that integrate LLMs with engineering simulation workflows
- check_circle Collaborate closely with the science/research team on training runs and diagnose failure modes arising from data gaps or architecture limitations
- check_circle Manage research projects and client communications with engineering teams
- check_circle Fluent English with excellent communication skills - able to explain technical simulation concepts to both engineering and non-technical audiences
- check_circle PhD or Master's in AI or an engineering science: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Structural Mechanics, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field. A solid understanding of deep learning and engineering or physics is a must.
- check_circle Comfortable with PyTorch or JAX for implementing and training models
- check_circle You write clean, readable Python code and are comfortable in Linux/HPC environments
- check_circle Self-directed - you don't need detailed roadmaps to make progress
- check_circle Low-ego, collaborative, and eager to learn at the intersection of simulation and ML
- check_circle Demonstrated success through industrial projects, academic work, or personal projects
- check_circle Have industrial or academic experience with simulation solvers (e.g. OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus, or equivalent)
- check_circle Have applied ML methods to simulation or surrogate modelling
- check_circle Have experience automating large-scale simulation campaigns on HPC clusters
- check_circle Have contributed to a large open-source or industry codebase
- check_circle Have publications in engineering or ML venues (NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.)
- check_circle Love improving existing code by fixing typing issues, adding tests and improving CI pipelines
