Job description

Engineering software is at a structural turning point.

For decades, CAD systems digitized drawing. At WSCAD, we are building the next paradigm: AI-native engineering systems, where AI is not an add-on, but the core operating layer of engineering workflows.

We are looking for an AI Technology Lead to architect this next-generation platform – a system that understands engineering intent, reasons across disciplines, and orchestrates workflows from concept to installation.

At WSCAD, AI is not a side project; it is a core element of the future platform. The role therefore does not center on isolated model training, standalone AI features, research detached from production, or experimentation without responsibility for real-world impact.

What awaits you – Your responsibilities:

• Architect the AI core of WSCAD’s engineering platform, embedding AI as the operating layer — not a service add-on
• Design AI-native engineering workflows, including reasoning, rule interpretation, validation, constraint solving, and optimization
• Bridge AI, software architecture, and engineering domain knowledge, working closely with product, platform, and electrical engineering experts
• Set technical direction for AI at WSCAD, mentoring engineers and integrating state-of-the-art AI approaches where they deliver real engineering value

What we expect – Your qualifications:

• Strong software engineering background, with experience building production-grade systems (not just prototypes)
• Solid experience in AI system design, including one or more of:
  • applied machine learning
  • AI systems engineering
  • constraint solving or optimization
  • symbolic and statistical AI approaches
  • knowledge representation and reasoning
• Architectural mindset, comfortable designing platforms where AI is a core component
• Experience reasoning about data flows, model lifecycle, validation, explainability, and reliability in production
• Ability to work across disciplines and translate domain logic into robust system behavior

Nice to have:

• Experience with engineering or industrial software (e.g. CAD/CAE/PLM, automation, digital twins)
• Exposure to rule-based systems, engineering constraints, or safety-critical environments

Benefits

• A defining role in building a new category of engineering software
• Direct influence on product architecture and strategy
• Highly competitive compensation and a long-term growth path
• A growing company with a motivated team and helpful colleagues
• Flexible working hours and a hybrid working model
• 30 days annual leave
• An individual onboarding programs
• High-quality advanced training
• A good working atmosphere with an open feedback culture

Benefits package including:

• Company pension plan (BAV)
• Capital-forming benefits
• Employee benefits
• Ticket Plus Card (Edenred)
• JobBike
