CAD/CAE Automation Software Engineer (Forward Deployed)

About the RoleYou will work with our customers to bring NC’s AI into their engineering workflows, solving the strategic integration challenges across PLM, CAD, and simulation systems so they can design better products, faster. The work cuts both ways: a customer unblocked, and field experience built directly back into the product through features, tooling, and reusable integration patterns.What you will doWork directly with customers to understand their engineering workflows, constraints, and existing tools, translating that context into practical integration plans.Connect NC to customer PLM, CAD, and simulation systems through APIs, scripts, and other automation mechanisms.Automate engineering workflows and the associated data exchange, including where relevant the execution and monitoring of jobs across cloud or HPC environments.Contribute to NC’s core product as a product engineer, turning field experience into features, tooling, and patterns that make future integrations faster.Who you areAn engineer at heart, you’ve grown from mechanical or industrial engineering into automation and software development. Understanding how engineering teams work, and building practical ways to improve their workflows, is what motivates you.A builder and problem solver at heart, you enjoy challenges with no obvious solution. Stepping beyond familiar tools and methods, learning quickly and testing different approaches are part of the appeal. Whether exploring a poorly documented API or working around a missing integration point, you find a practical way forward. Working alongside customers, you turn those solutions into reliable tools that others can use, maintain and build on.Hands-on experience building integrations and automation for engineering workflows preferably involving PLM or CAD systems.Solid software engineering skills, including working with APIs, data models and databases. Able to turn scripts and prototypes into reliable, maintainable software through clear design, automated tests and code review.Familiarity with CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE or TeamCenter is a strong plus.Good knowledge of simulation workflows and data exchange (FEM, CFD or CAE automation); deeper CAE or HPC experience is a strong plus.Clear communication with engineering teams and enthusiasm for working on-site with customers, looking beyond the requested fix to understand the underlying need.Travel: Meaningful time on-site with customers (up to a quarter of the time), the rest hybrid with flexible hours. Proximity to the customer compounds into a direct, deep impact on both their process and the product. Lausanne (preferred) or Zurich based.What you getA world-class technology team that aims for excellence.Competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we scale.A collaborative, multicultural environment where work is visible and recognized.Professional growth alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely.Global impact, helping customers shift to AI-assisted design.Hybrid model (40% remote) and flexible hours.We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive.

Platform Deployment Engineer (Europe)

Neural Concept embeds AI into design and simulation workflows so engineering teams make continuous, data-driven decisions instead of waiting on sequential design–simulation–validation cycles. None of that matters until the platform is running inside the customer's environment, on their infrastructure, under their rules.That is this role. You take an enterprise customer and make the platform real for them: architected, deployed, integrated, cleared by their security organisation, and stable enough that their engineers stop thinking about it. You own that outcome end to end for named accounts, as their primary technical counterpart. What you will do The deployment, from the first architecture conversation through go-live and into steady-state operation.Its integration with the customer's identity, data and engineering systems, and the infrastructure and model serving layer beneath it.The relationship with their IT, security and platform teams: assessments, architecture reviews, and the call when something breaks.The diagnosis when it does break, including when the cause sits outside our own software.The runbooks, post-mortems and playbooks that make the next deployment easier, and the feedback loop into Product. Where you will do itManaged Kubernetes across the major clouds. On-premises and fully air-gapped clusters with no route to the internet, GPU infrastructure, self-hosted model serving. Customer HPC environments, schedulers, and shared storage under real load. If installing software with no internet access, on hardware you do not control, reads as the interesting part of the job rather than the obstacle, this will suit you. Who you are You will often be the only Neural Concept engineer in the room. We are looking for someone with:6+ years deploying and operating enterprise software in production, two of them in environments you did not control.Kubernetes at configuration depth: how chart values become rendered manifests, and why a workload will not start.Identity and SSO fundamentals: OIDC and SAML, clients and credential rotation, redirect URIs, group-to-role mapping.Linux, networking and TLS: DNS, routing, ingress and egress, certificate chains and interception proxies.Kubernetes storage: persistent volumes and CSI, access modes, diagnosing shared storage that degrades under load.A production deployment you personally carried and then supported. Name it, date it, tell us what went wrong.Professional customer-facing English, and willingness to travel and work your customers' hours.Also valuable: regulated or air-gapped deployments · private registries and image mirroring · GPU scheduling and LLM serving · enterprise IdP administration · Terraform and GitOps · Prometheus and Grafana · HPC schedulers · ISO 27001 evidence · Python · PLM, CAD or CAE exposure. You GetWork with a world-class technology team – our engineers are top-notch, and we always aim for excellence.Benefit from a competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we continue to scale.Thrive in a collaborative, multicultural environment where your work is visible and recognized.Develop professionally alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely and support one another.Make a global impact by helping customers shift to AI-assisted design, making innovation faster, smarter, and more sustainable.Balance life and work with remote work or hybrid model (20% remote) —we care about results, not rigid schedules. Where You Will BeRemote from Europe or one of our offices in Switzerland or Munich;Travelling: This position will require travelling to customer location within EuropeStart date: ASAPWe're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive.
