PhysicsX is a physical AI company on a mission to accelerate innovation and overhaul what engineering and manufacturing look like today. We are building a new software stack to deliver deep AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. We partner with leading organizations in aerospace & defense, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London and New York.
Last year we raised $155 million as part of its Series B financing. The round was led by Atomico, with participation from Temasek, Nvidia, Siemens, Applied Materials, and July Fund, as well as continued support from existing investors including General Catalyst, NGP, Radius Capital, Standard Investments, and Allen & Co.

What we offer
Build what actually matters
Help shape an AI-native engineering company at a formative stage, tackling problems that genuinely matter for industry and society. This is work with real-world impact - and something you can be proud to stand behind.
Learn alongside exceptional people
Work with a high-caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work, and about helping each other get better. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing some of the most complex challenges out there. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home.
Influence over hierarchy
We operate with a flat structure: good ideas win - wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status quo isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected.
Sustainable pace, long-term ambition
Building meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in balancing focused, ambitious work with a life beyond it. Our hybrid model blends time together in our Shoreditch office with work-from-home days, giving you the flexibility to work sustainably while staying connected in person.

As a Machine Learning Engineer in Delivery, you are an experienced problem solver and technical leader who stays anchored to impact. You are someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, lead technical initiatives, and excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to embed cutting-edge AI models into tools that are useful and used.
You’ve shipped ML systems end-to-end and at scale: you design, build and test reliable, scalable ML data pipelines; you know how to explore and manipulate 3D point-cloud and mesh data to enable geometry-aware modelling; you select the right libraries, frameworks and tools and make pragmatic product decisions that set Delivery up for success. Working at the intersection of data science and software engineering, you translate R&D and project outputs into reusable libraries, tooling and products.
With at least 3 years industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you're ready to not only execute but also lead and mentor others. You're truly excited about taking ownership of complex work streams and guiding teams to success, while continuously improving the systems and solutions you work on to ensure they are practical, impactful and meet the evolving needs of our customers.
As a machine learning engineer, you'll work closely with our Data Scientists, Simulation Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving. You will iterate with customers and use your influence to drive decisions around reliable deployment with measurable outcomes.
You'll:

As a Senior CFD Engineer (Delivery), you are a problem solver and a builder, who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp and apply advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (often directly on-site) to build CAE models that are integrated into AI-tools that are both useful and used.
You bring deep expertise in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and multiphase modelling, with a solid ability to apply fundamental knowledge to real-world phenomena across a wide range of engineering applications. Highly proficient in at least one of Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or Fluent and adept at automating these tools to create scalable optimisation workflows that drive impactful results. Experience in parametric CAD modelling (NX or CATIA) and coding in Python/Java, (or the ability to quickly learn programming languages), is an advantage.
With 3-5 years of industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running. You’re confident setting up CFD simulations independently, interpreting complex results with depth, and making informed decisions based on solid engineering judgement.
In this role, you’ll work closely with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering challenges we are solving.
You’ll play a crucial role in delivering high-fidelity simulations by:
As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an Individual Contributor (IC) or a Team Lead (TL), especially if you’re driven to take ownership of more complex projects and lead the direction of future solutions.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist with deep computer vision expertise to lead the development of physics-informed predictive maintenance systems for high-value industrial equipment. Working directly with major industrial customers, you will build pipelines that fuse periodic inspection imagery with equipment operating history and physics-based inputs to predict remaining component life — helping operators reduce costly unplanned interventions and optimise asset availability.
Who we're looking for
You have a strong research foundation in computer vision and applied deep learning, and you know how to take that foundation into production on real-world industrial problems. You are energised by the challenge of building models that actually work under difficult conditions — sparse data, inconsistent image quality, and high stakes for getting it wrong. You can move fluidly between designing the right architecture and debugging a broken data pipeline.
You are comfortable working directly with domain experts and customers to translate physical intuition into modelling decisions, and you care about producing outputs that engineers can trust and operators can act on.
What you bring
🚀 Equity options - share meaningfully in the company you’re helping to build.
💰 5% contribution to 401(k) - build long-term security with a strong retirement plan.
🍽️ Free team lunch 1x/week - good food, great company, and space to connect.
🏥 Private health insurance – comprehensive cover for you, offering total peace of mind.
👶 Enhanced parental leave – 3 months full pay paternity and 6 months full pay maternity leave, to provide extra flexibility during the moments that matter most.
☀️ 20 days of Annual Leave (+ Public Holidays) - because taking time to rest matters.
📈 Personal development – dedicated support for learning, development, and leveling up over time.
💪 Gympass / Wellhub (subsidized) – for you and up to 3 family members, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.
💳 Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible healthcare expenses.
