Job summary

Neural Concept is seeking an Engineering Environment Owner to empower engineering teams by shaping CAD/CAE environments, licenses and compute infrastructure. You will own the internal stack and drive reproducible workflows across diverse engineering contexts, enabling faster AI-assisted design.

You'll stay hands-on with scripting and automation while managing shared compute resources and vendor relationships, ensuring cost-effective, reliable environments for HPC simulations and CAE workloads.

Qualifications

• Experience at an OEM, Tier 1 supplier, or CAE or cloud provider, with practical insight into engineering workflows in sectors such as automotive, aerospace or electronics.
• Hands-on CAE experience (CFD and/or FEA) and a practical understanding of high-performance computing (HPC) for simulation workloads.
• Ability to design how CAD, PLM, CAE and compute fit together, drawing on domain experts for depth in individual tools.
• A pragmatic approach to collaboration and problem-solving, keeping processes simple and removing barriers for others.

Responsibilities

• Own the internal CAD/CAE environment: CAD and CAE tools, licences and compute infrastructure.
• Work with product engineers and vertical engineers to understand their needs and improve their CAD/CAE setup, from software and configuration to access and compute resources.
• Stay hands-on: script, automate and troubleshoot to keep environments reproducible and catch issues before they disrupt teams.
• Manage shared compute and licence resources, vendor relationships and spend.
• Monitor usage and performance (utilization, wait times, cost per run) and share what you see with the teams.
