This is an Atlantic Labs portfolio venture. Find out about other jobs in our portfolio here.

About the Venture

We are GEMESYS, a deep-tech startup that is set up to build a legacy. Our mission is to design a chip that works like the human brain to overcome computing bottlenecks and provide AI with the hardware to fulfill its destiny: Shaping a better future for everyone.

Based out of Bochum, Germany, we are setting out to challenge the status quo. We have received €8.6M+ in funding and are fully backed by a strong team of investors and the German government.

We are a group of pioneering minds who love blank canvases. We work within an agile startup environment where you can be hands-on and contribute to the success of next-generation AI hardware.

We execute and work at a high pace. We fail fast and learn faster. Sounds like you? Come join us.

About the Role

As a Senior Simulation Engineer, you will play a crucial role in continuously developing our digital twin of the analog AI chip architecture based on different simulation models and testing it on our in-house AI models using various programming tools and rapid prototyping frameworks.

• Develop and refine digital twin models of dynamic physical systems (electrical circuits) using methods of numerical mathematics.

• Troubleshoot and debug MATLAB/Python/C++ source codes.

• Optimize discrete models of dynamical systems (electrical circuits) to enhance performance, stability, robustness, and convergence across diverse AI applications.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams to adapt models for integration into AI and ML workflows.

• Apply methods from nonlinear stability theory to investigate the stability properties of the underlying discrete model describing a digital twin of the dynamical physical system (electrical circuit).

• Aid our project teams in defining goals, milestones, and work packages.

• Participate in regular team meetings and contribute insights to enhance project outcomes.

About You:
Essentials:

• Advanced degree (master’s or Ph.D.) in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field.

• Over 5 years of industry experience in numerical modelling, dynamical system simulation, or a similar role.

• Strong knowledge of numerical mathematics for accurate, performance-optimised simulations (especially in numerical integration methods for solving ODEs).

• Proven experience in developing digital twin models or simulations of dynamical systems.

• Proficiency in C++ or Python for modelling and simulation purposes.

• Demonstrated success in optimising performance for computational models (e.g., runtime, stability, robustness).

• Experience in program scripting in MATLAB.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, effective communication, and a team player.

• Ability to report and present in English.

• Flexibility and willingness to work in an agile deep-tech start-up.

Preferred:

• Background in electrical engineering with a focus on circuit simulation.

• Experience with digital signal processing.

• Familiarity with AI and ML applications, particularly in edge computing environments.
