ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer on Luminary's Applications Engineering team, you're the physics-domain expert inside a customer value delivery team. You work in a matrix under a Lead Delivery Engineer, alongside Applied AI/ML Scientists, Data & Platform engineers, and product engineers. You take the hardest simulation problems a customer brings and turn them into deployed Physics AI solutions — from data generation, through model development, into production workflows — embedded alongside customer engineers.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead the technical delivery of Physics AI engagements as the resident physics expert on the value delivery team.
- Translate customer engineering problems into simulation campaigns, training datasets, and surrogate model architectures.
- Run the simulations that generate high-quality training data, validating physical fidelity with customer SMEs.
- Partner with Applied AI/ML Scientists on model selection, training, and validation against ground-truth simulations.
- Work with Data & Platform engineers to integrate models into production workflows.
- Build trust with customer engineers through technical credibility and shipped outcomes.
- Travel to customer sites to support deployment, training, and engagement reviews.
- Bring customer signals back to Product and Research to shape the Physics AI roadmap.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Industrial electromagnetics experience, with hands-on depth in a core discipline.
- Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation, plus familiarity with a deep learning framework (e.g., PyTorch) and API/SDK workflows.
- Hands-on experience applying Physics AI or ML-based surrogate models to engineering simulation, including surrogate modeling, neural operators, or data-driven solvers.
- Pre-sales or customer-facing delivery experience, including running technical evaluations, building POCs, and scoping engagements.
- Strong communication with technical audiences.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- A PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline (MS considered with 5+ years of relevant industry experience), with hands-on depth in high-frequency applications (e.g., antenna design, EMC/EMI, signal integrity, radar cross-section, or RF/microwave engineering) and/or low-frequency applications (e.g., electric machine and motor design, induction heating, or wireless power transfer). Fluency in commercial solvers — Ansys HFSS / Maxwell, CST Studio Suite, COMSOL Multiphysics, FEKO, or similar — and the underlying numerical methods (full-wave FEM, MoM, or FDTD) is expected. Working knowledge of Physics AI and ML surrogates is preferred.
