About us

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software. We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations — empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility. Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.

Who We’re Looking For

As a Senior Simulation Engineer – Electromagnetic Specialist in 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 (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to build models that are integrated into AI-tools that are both useful and used.

You bring strong expertise in electromagnetic modeling and analysis. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with industry-standard simulation tools and a strong foundation in electromagnetic theory applied to real-world applications. Coding skills in Python and/or Java, or the ability to quickly learn programming languages, is an advantage.

With at least 3-5 years of industry experience (post Bachelors, Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running. You’re comfortable setting up simulations independently, interpreting results with depth, and making informed decisions based on solid engineering judgement.

This Role

In this role, you’ll work closely with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving. You’ll play a crucial role in delivering high-fidelity simulations by, demonstrating skills in one or more of the following areas:

  1. Low Frequency Electromagnetics
  • Magnetostatic and electrostatic simulations
  • Motors, transformers, actuators, and inductive components
  • Eddy current and EMI analysis

  1. High Frequency Electromagnetics
  • RF/microwave components, antennas, and radar/RCS modeling
  • S-parameter and EMC analysis
  • Signal integrity and power integrity modeling

  1. Optics/Photonics
  • Optical system design, imaging, and ray-tracing analysis
  • Integrated photonics, waveguides, and photonic circuit modeling
  • Beam propagation, laser optics, and optical component optimization

Additional Skills and Attributes

Programming & Automation:

  • Advanced Python and/or MATLAB coding skills desired for simulation automation and post-processing

Performance & Problem-Solving:

  • Identify and implement improvements based on simulation results to enhance system performance
  • Strong problem-solving abilities to analyze issues, identify root causes, and recommend solutions quickly
  • Demonstrate the ability to scope and effectively deliver projects

Collaboration & Leadership:

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with teams and customers
  • For more experienced candidates: passion for and track record of managing, mentoring, and coaching junior colleagues

As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an individual contributor or a technical lead, especially if you’re driven to take ownership of more complex projects and lead the direction of future solutions.

Please note, this role is based in Sinapore, working 2-3 days per week in our new office.

Our delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - read our blog to learn more about how you’ll contribute to this exciting journey!

We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics. We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with UK employment and equality legislation.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
