Job description

Flexcompute is architecting the next generation of multi-physics simulation. We are moving beyond legacy solvers to build a platform defined by speed and physical fidelity. We are seeking a Computational Scientist to lead the development of our new structural mechanics solver.

We prioritize fundamental understanding over tool proficiency. We are looking for an architect who can derive the governing equations from first principles and implement them into a robust numerical framework.

About Flexcompute

We are a “Physics Intelligence” company making hardware innovation as easy as software. Our solvers (Flow360, Tidy3D) are not just faster; they are effectively instant, reducing simulation times from days to minutes using massive GPU parallelism and proprietary algorithms.

  • Intellectual Density: We maintain an exceptionally high talent bar. Our team of ~90 includes over 50 PhDs from MIT, Stanford, and top research labs. You will work alongside peers who will challenge your thinking and elevate your work daily.
  • Impact: Our technology is currently used to design optical interconnects, 3D chiplets, quantum computing chips, eVTOL aircraft, and next-gen wind turbines. You are building the “math engine” that drives real-world engineering breakthroughs.
  • Stability & Growth: We are a Series C stage company with significant funding, revenue-generating products, and a clear path to disrupting the $20B+ simulation market.
