Job summary

Mistral AI is seeking a Domain Expert in crashworthiness simulations to drive AI-accelerated simulation capabilities for industrial engineering. You will fuse solid mechanics with ML workflows, ensuring models meet real engineering standards across automotive, aerospace, and related fields.

You will work closely with research, product, and customer teams, building datasets, validating models, and guiding simulation automation in Linux HPC environments.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in crashworthiness, solid mechanics, and structural mechanics with industrial simulation workflows.
• Master’s degree or equivalent in mechanical/aerospace/structural engineering or computational mechanics.
• 4+ years of relevant industrial experience (or PhD +1 year) in automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics.
• Hands‑on experience with explicit dynamics for crash/impact simulation and nonlinear FEM concepts.
• Strong Python developer capable of building tools for automation, data processing, and model evaluation.
• Experience in Linux and HPC environments, batch jobs, and scalable simulations.

Responsibilities

• Define, generate, and iteratively improve simulation datasets for training crashworthiness foundation models.
• Design and run high‑fidelity simulation campaigns with Abaqus, LS‑DYNA, Ansys Mechanical, Radioss or similar tools.
• Define the variation space for training data: geometry, mesh, material behavior, boundary conditions, loading and KPIs.
• Build or guide automated pipelines for simulation setup, execution, post‑processing, dataset creation, and model evaluation.
• Train and evaluate AI models on simulation data and diagnose failure modes from data gaps or artifacts.
• Assess model outputs against industrial engineering needs, including field‑level accuracy and KPI alignment.
• Collaborate with industrial customers to understand workflows, use cases, and success criteria.
