AI-Driven Modeling & Optimization Engineer

Unlimited; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Unlimited in San Francisco is seeking modeling and analysis engineers to advance an AI-driven automated design engine for large-scale capital projects such as utility-scale power and data centers.

The role emphasizes simulation, performance modeling, and optimization tool development. You will own critical bottlenecks and work hands-on in a fast-paced environment, with five days in the SF office.

Qualifications

• Experience building rigid-body dynamics simulators, FEA or CFD solvers, or other physics or engineering modeling tools for internal use or as external products.
• Experience writing trade-study and optimization tools to study design spaces for complex system analysis.
• T-shaped technical excellence: broad understanding across multiple domains and how they interact, implications of trade-offs, etc, while also having deep technical expertise in 1-2 areas.
• Evidence of strong first principles thinking: someone who has challenged and broken through conventional wisdom or "this is how we've always done it" syndrome within their industry to create a step-function improvement.
• Excitement to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and embrace extreme ownership.
• The ability to prioritize impact by ruthlessly finding the bottlenecks and solving the most important problems.
• Hands-on builders who can speak to the excruciating minutia and details of their work, and excited to execute instead of manage/organize others work.
• Mission alignment and desire to build a future of abundance

Responsibilities

• Lead engineering development to expand and refine capabilities within our automated design engine product.
• Build and maintain software tools across multiple disciplines for AI-driven design deliverables.
• Collaborate in a fast-paced, high-performance environment with extreme ownership.
• In-person role in San Francisco, CA. We are in the office 5 days per week.
