Simulation Architect: Scalable Pipelines & ML Data

Root Access; New York (NY); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Root Access is seeking a Simulation & Software Engineer to lead scalable simulation infrastructure. You will build software that automates electrical, thermal, and electromagnetic simulations and transforms their outputs into reliable training datasets.

Collaborate with our ML and hardware teams to own simulation execution, data quality, and the infrastructure needed to expand coverage across electronic designs.

Qualifications

• Proficient in Python for building automated simulation systems.
• Experience with physics-based simulation tools or numerical solvers.
• Experience with parallel computing and cloud/HPC infrastructure.
• Familiar with data pipelines, storage, versioning, and reproducible workflows.
• Understanding of numerical methods in circuit, electromagnetics, or thermal analysis.
• Ability to diagnose solver failures and distinguish software issues from modeling problems.
• Degree in engineering, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, or equivalent.
• Preferred: scaling solver-generated data with automation and integrations.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automated simulation pipelines, including design parameterization, solver integration, and results extraction.
• Scale simulation workloads across local and cloud compute through distributed execution, scheduling, and failure recovery.
• Develop workflows for parameter sweeps and design-space exploration.
• Implement checks for simulation convergence, physical validity, and dataset quality.
• Track simulation configurations, data provenance, and dataset versions to ensure reproducibility.
• Optimize simulation throughput, compute costs, and pipeline reliability.
• Collaborate with the ML team to prioritize simulations that improve model performance.
• Work with hardware engineers to validate simulation results against physical measurements.
