What are the responsibilities and job description for the Simulation Engineer position at European Tech Recruit?
Simulation Platform Engineer - 4 days onsite - Start Up (Equity Included)
I’m partnering with a fast-growing climate/insurtech startup building advanced simulation and digital twin platforms to model real-world risk across environmental perils. Their technology combines physics-based simulation, machine learning, and geospatial data to power critical decision-making in areas such as wildfire, hurricane, and flood risk.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own and maintain production simulation pipelines, including debugging, monitoring, and improving uptime and incident response across modeling workflows.
- Strengthen CI/CD processes and infrastructure reliability across simulation, digital twin, and ML pipelines through automated testing and efficient deployment strategies.
- Build and operate annotation and quality control systems for digital twins, leveraging ML-assisted workflows to improve data quality and reduce manual effort.
- Develop new digital twin capabilities, including features supporting additional perils such as wind and flood.
- Integrate new simulation pipelines end-to-end, connecting geospatial data, preprocessing, simulation workflows, and post-processing systems.
- Collaborate closely with machine learning engineers to support training, inference, and continuous improvement of AI-driven models.
Key Qualifications:
- 5 years of experience in backend or infrastructure engineering, with a focus on building production-grade data or simulation pipelines.
- Proven experience owning and operating complex, distributed, data-intensive systems end-to-end.
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting systems.
- Experience working in fast-paced startup environments with high ownership.
- Background supporting physics-based or simulation-heavy workflows.
- Strong academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
