    • Prototype and evaluate AI-assisted methods for automating geometry creation and simulation model preparation.
    • Work with researchers and engineers to integrate AI technologies into engineering and physics-based applications, including thermal and structural simulation.
    • Analyze experimental results and improve the quality, robustness, and performance of AI-generated geometry and mesh models.
    • Investigate methods to reduce manual modeling effort and accelerate design and simulation workflows through AI automation.
    • Contribute to technical discussions, documentation, research reports, and prototype software development.

    Basic Qualifications

    • Currently pursuing a Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
    • Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
    • Programming experience in C/C++ and Python.
    • Familiarity with software development practices, including debugging, testing, and version control.
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
    • Curiosity and enthusiasm for applying AI technologies to engineering problems.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with AI/ML, including deep learning, LLMs, GenAI, or GNNs.
    • Familiarity with geometric modeling, mesh generation, retopology, computational geometry, or graph-based representations.
    • Coursework or research experience in computer graphics, computer-aided engineering (CAE), scientific computing, or simulation.
    • Exposure to CAD, CAE, EDA, or simulation-driven design applications.
    • Interest in topology optimization, geometry processing, performance optimization, parallel computing, or GPU acceleration.
    • Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar tools.
