Aufgaben

Mistral is looking for AI Scientists with deep expertise in engineering sciences and machine learning to push the frontier of AI-accelerated simulation. Within AI4Engineering Science, you will research and train foundational physics models which are substantially more capable than what exists today and can be fine-tuned for downstream applications by both customers and internal teams. You will work across the full research stack: curating high-fidelity simulation datasets, designing and training novel model architectures, and rigorously evaluating them against real engineering validation standards. Working closely with the broader research organization, you ll ensure the foundation models you build are general enough to become the backbone of many downstream products, not just a single point solution. This role builds on a strong, world-class foundation, and the goal is to take it further. You ll work one vertical at a time toward foundation models that genuinely transfer and fine-tune across engineering tasks, with high-quality simulation data pipelines, physics-based evaluation, and uncertainty / out-of-distribution estimation as first-class concerns. There s no inherited playbook for most of what s left to do: you ll help define the architectures, training strategies, and validation standards the team builds on, not just extend an existing one.

- Research and train novel foundation models for physics simulation, pushing past today s state of the art in accuracy, generalization, and scale - Design and run large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers to build the high-fidelity datasets foundational physics models need - Investigate architectures and training strategies (e.g. multi-fidelity training, pretraining objectives, scaling behavior) that let a single foundation model transfer and fine-tune well across diverse engineering tasks - Rigorously evaluate model coverage, accuracy, and robustness against industry validation standards, and diagnose failure modes arising from data gaps or architecture limitations - Stay on top of the latest developments in the scientific community and contribute to Mistral s standing at the frontier of AI-for-engineering research

Anforderungen

PhD or Master s in CS/AI or an engineering science: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Structural Mechanics, EDA, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field - Strong, hands-on machine learning expertise with a deep understanding of model architectures, training dynamics, and evaluation methodology is core to this role - You have developed ML methods for simulation or surrogate modelling - You write clean, readable Python code and are comfortable in Linux/HPC environments - Fluent English with excellent communication skills, able to explain technical simulation and ML concepts to both engineering and non-technical audiences - Self-directed, you don t need detailed roadmaps to make progress - Low-ego, collaborative, and eager to learn at the intersection of simulation and ML - Demonstrated success through industrial projects, academic work, or personal projects It would be great if you - Have industrial or academic experience with simulation solvers (e.g. OpenFOAM, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus, Fluent, STAR-CCM+, PowerFlow, NekRS, Tau/CODA, JAX-Fluids, or equivalent; CadenceSiemens EDA or equivalent) - Have experience automating large-scale simulation campaigns on HPC clusters - Have contributed to a large open-source or industry codebase - Have publications in engineering or ML venues (AIAA, ASME, JFM, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.)
