Job summary

Neural Concept in Lausanne, Switzerland or Cambridge, UK, is seeking an Applied AI Engineer for EV Powertrain to translate product direction into practical AI-enabled workflows. You’ll combine real engineering practice with modern AI tooling to prototype production-grade solutions on the Neural Concept platform.

With 5+ years in powertrain engineering, you will build data-driven workflows, collaborate with lead customers and CAD/CAE/ML teams, and push outputs that meet industry standards.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on engineering experience at an OEM or Tier 1 supplier.
• Fluent in Powertrain simulation tools (Motor-CAD, Maxwell, JMAG, Romax) and system-level tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Amesim).
• Proficient, hands-on user of modern AI tooling with foundation models and LLM-based tools such as Claude or Codex.
• Direct involvement in an AI transformation initiative within your company.
• Strong Python scripting ability to build and connect workflow components.
• Builder mindset: prototype quickly and iterate.

Responsibilities

• Build data-driven engineering workflows for EV Powertrain applications (electric motor, gearbox, battery, EDU) on the Neural Concept platform.
• Work with lead customers to understand and solve challenges.
• Apply deep domain knowledge to reflect real engineering practice and edge cases.
• Prototype using AI/ML tooling — foundation models and LLM-based coding assistants — to ship production-ready workflows.
• Collaborate with CAD/CAE/ML engineers to move prototypes to production quality.
• Validate outputs against real-world engineering standards and feed insights back into the roadmap.
