Description du poste

PrediQT Technologies — Brussels, Belgium

Full-time leadership role in a deep-tech company preparing the global commercialisation of next-generation high-fidelity simulation software for aerospace, propulsion, energy and weather forecasting.

About the Company

PrediQT Technologies develops next-generation high-fidelity, scale-resolved CFD software for industrial applications. Our ambition is to change the simulation paradigm by combining advanced numerical methods, GPU-native performance and, in the longer term, quantum computing capabilities. Our SuRF solver and GenAI-based engineering platform are designed to deliver a new level of accuracy, reliability and engineering productivity for industrial flow simulation.

Industrial demand is shifting toward simulations that can resolve complex unsteady flow physics with higher fidelity, while remaining usable in real engineering workflows. This evolution, together with major advances in numerical methods, GPU computing, quantum computing and GenAI, led to the creation of PrediQT Technologies.

Why joining us:

Join a creative and ambitious deep-tech team working at the frontier of numerical simulation, GPU computing, GenAI and quantum computing. We value scientific excellence, engineering rigor, intellectual honesty and teamwork. PrediQT is headquartered in Brussels, with quantum R&D activities in the Paris/Saclay ecosystem. The role offers the opportunity to help build a new generation of industrial simulation software from an early stage.

About the Role

We are looking for a high-potential, highly proactive Technical Sales & Business Development Lead to own and drive the early global commercialisation of PrediQT's technology. This is a strategic yet hands-on entrepreneurial role: together with the CEO, you will define and execute the go-to-market strategy, build and convert a global sales pipeline, and lay the foundations of the commercial organisation. The role combines technical sales, business development, product positioning and early marketing execution. It requires someone who can understand demanding CFD users, engage industrial decision-makers, turn technical differentiation into clear commercial value, and help shape the external image of the company as the product strategy and business model mature.

Key responsibilities include:

• Translate PrediQT's technical differentiation into a compelling value proposition for industrial CFD, CAE and simulation customers.
• Prospect actively, initiate conversations, qualify opportunities and move customer discussions from first contact to pilot, partnership or commercial agreement.
• Work closely with the CEO and technical team to refine target markets, pricing logic, customer segmentation and the first repeatable sales process.
• Use AI tools systematically to accelerate market research, customer preparation, outreach, sales materials, CRM follow-up and content generation.
• Contribute to the company’s website, product messaging and digital presence so that PrediQT's image remains aligned with its product strategy and commercial ambition.

Responsibilities

• Define and own PrediQT's global sales strategy, targets, pipeline and commercial execution plan.
• Identify, qualify and close high-value customers in computer-aided engineering, CFD, industrial simulation and related technical software markets worldwide.
• Build trusted relationships with engineers, scientists, technical managers and industrial decision-makers, with the confidence to pick up the phone, travel to customers and develop opportunities in the field.
• Drive digital and AI-powered marketing, lead-generation and outbound campaigns using modern sales tooling.
• Build, lead and scale the commercial team and partner network as the company grows.
• Represent PrediQT at international conferences, exhibitions and customer-facing events.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate combines proven B2B technical sales experience with strong customer empathy, commercial drive and the ability to explain complex engineering software clearly. We are particularly interested in high-potential profiles who have worked in sales or business development for a major CAE software company, while retaining enough technical depth to understand CFD workflows and the difference between RANS, LES and wall-resolved simulations. The role requires autonomy, initiative, strong field presence and the ability to build a sales function from the ground up in a deep-tech start-up environment.

Education details

A Master's degree in technical sales, marketing, communication, engineering, computer science or an equivalent field is preferred.

Required Skills

• Proven track record in B2B technical sales, ideally in computer-aided engineering, numerical simulation or industrial software.
• Demonstrated ability to sell complex technical or engineering software solutions to expert users and industrial decision-makers.
• Solid technical understanding of CFD and simulation workflows, including the ability to discuss RANS, LES and wall-resolved approaches with technically demanding customers.
• Advanced use of AI tools to accelerate sales preparation, lead generation, market research, customer communication, content creation, CRM discipline and day-to-day productivity.
• Ability to contribute to positioning, messaging, commercial materials and customer narratives for a breakthrough simulation technology.
• Own and continuously improve the company’s commercial website, product messaging and digital presence so that they remain aligned with the product strategy, customer value proposition and business model.
• Native or near-native proficiency in English; French is a strong asset.

Soft Skills

• High-energy, ambitious, proactive and autonomous, with the drive to build a function from the ground up.
• Strong customer empathy and a genuine interest in long-term relationships.
• Clear communication, leadership presence and credibility with technical audiences.
• Creativity, problem-solving ability, adaptability and willingness to grow with the company.

Preferred Skills

• Previous experience with a major CAE or engineering software company such as Ansys, Siemens, Cadence or a comparable player.
• Experience building, leading or mentoring a sales team.
• Technical or scientific background in CFD, aerospace, turbomachinery, energy, weather/climate science or another simulation-intensive domain, with strong curiosity for Generative or Agentic AI tools.

Pay range and compensation package

We offer a competitive compensation package, including salary, stock options and social benefits. This is an opportunity to join PrediQT at an early stage and contribute directly to the development of a new generation of high-fidelity industrial simulation software.
