Role summary
Neural Concept is seeking an Engineering Environment Owner to manage and improve their internal engineering environment, focusing on CAD, CAE tools, licenses, and compute infrastructure. This role involves understanding and addressing the needs of product and vertical engineers, automating and troubleshooting environments for reproducibility, managing shared resources, and monitoring usage and performance. The ideal candidate has hands-on CAE experience (CFD/FEA) and HPC knowledge, with a background in engineering workflows from OEM, Tier 1, or cloud providers, and possesses a strong system design capability to integrate CAD, PLM, CAE, and compute.
Engineering Environment Owner - HPC & CAE
Location: Cambridge (UK) or Lausanne (Switzerland)
About the role
Neural Concept builds AI-powered solutions that help the world’s leading engineering teams design better products, faster. As Engineering Environment Owner, you’ll enable our teams to develop blueprint solutions across different CAD/CAE environments and create a strong foundation for testing and improving our agents. You’ll own a critical part of how we work and help our product succeed in the diverse engineering environments our customers rely on.
What you will do
Own the internal engineering environment: CAD and CAE tools, licences and compute infrastructure.
Work with product engineers and vertical engineers to understand their needs and improve their CAD/CAE setup, from software and configuration to access and compute resources.
Stay hands-on: script, automate and troubleshoot to keep environments reproducible and catch issues before they disrupt teams.
Manage shared compute and licence resources, vendor relationships and spend.
Monitor usage and performance (utilization, wait times, cost per run) and share what you see with the teams.
Who you are
A builder at heart, you enjoy turning engineering needs into useful tools and workflows. Your approach combines creativity and independence with a product mindset: choosing what to build or reuse, making it easy for teams to adopt, and owning its deployment, operation and improvement.
Experience at an OEM, Tier 1 supplier, or CAE or cloud provider, with practical insight into engineering workflows in sectors such as automotive, aerospace or electronics.
Hands-on CAE experience (CFD and/or FEA) and a practical understanding of high-performance computing (HPC) for simulation workloads.
Ability to design how CAD, PLM, CAE and compute fit together, drawing on domain experts for depth in individual tools.
A pragmatic approach to collaboration and problem-solving, keeping processes simple and removing barriers for others.
What you get
A world-class technology team that aims for excellence.
Competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we scale.
A collaborative, multicultural environment where work is visible and recognized.
Professional growth alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely.
Global impact, helping customers shift to AI-assisted design.
Hybrid model (40% remote) and flexible hours.
