Senior Automotive Vehicle Solution Owner

Neural Concept

ABOUT THE ROLE Neural Concept accelerates the full engineering simulation cycle. Our AI platform compresses the time from design change to validated result, so engineering teams can explore more, iterate faster, and ship better products. The Vertical Solutions team turns that capability into production-grade, domain-specific solutions for our customers. As a Senior CAE Expert, you will own the simulation workflows, benchmarks, and solution assets that sit at the heart of what we deliver. Your work will land directly inside the engineering processes of leading automotive OEMs and consumer electronics companies — accelerating the entire cycle from geometry change through to crash, safety, and drop test results. WHAT YOU WILL DO * Own vertical solution assets end-to-end. Design and develop simulation workflows, validation benchmarks, and solution templates for automotive structural analysis (crash, occupant safety, pedestrian safety) and consumer electronics durability (drop test, vibration). Take assets from concept through to handover to Sales and Customer Success. * Accelerate the full simulation pipeline. Map the complete cycle — design change, automated meshing, solver configuration, job execution, and design optimisation — onto Neural Concept's platform. Define accuracy and speed requirements, validate against benchmark data, and deliver repeatable, production-grade workflows using tools such as ABAQUS, LS-Dyna, Radioss, Hypermesh, ANSA, and Simlab. * Write Python automation and tooling. Script data preprocessing, solution packaging, and workflow integration. Maintain solution reproducibility standards and contribute to internal tooling libraries. * Drive the product roadmap from the field. Partner with Product and Engineering to surface simulation-specific platform requirements, validate new capabilities, and feed real-world use cases directly into development priorities. WHO YOU ARE * 5–8 years of hands-on FEA simulation experience, in the application of vehicle crash, drop test, pedestrian and/or passenger safety, delivering production-quality models in automotive or consumer electronics environments * Deep expertise in leading Mechanical pre-solve-post tools, such as: ABAQUS, LS-Dyna, Radioss, Hypermesh, Simlab, ANSA, Meta, d3plot * Strong command of structural non-linear simulation: implicit/explicit solvers, contact formulations, material models, failure criteria * Demonstrated experience in automotive safety simulations (crash, occupant safety, pedestrian safety) or product durability testing (drop test, shock, vibration) * Experience with end-to-end simulation workflows: CAD preparation → Meshing → Solving → Post-processing → Visualization * Scripting and programming: Python (preferred); C++, Java, or C# also valued. Exposure to open-source tools (e.g., OpenFOAM, FEniCSx) and pre/post tools (e.g., Gmsh, ParaView) a plus. * Able to own deliverables independently and communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-specialist audiences * Proficiency in both written and spoken English, with the ability to articulate technical complexity with clarity. NICE TO HAVE * Familiarity with AI-assisted simulation acceleration, design optimisation, or parametric study automation * Comfort with Git and modern dev environments/IDEs; basic CI for validation of templates and scripts * Master HPC and Cloud resources. Execute and refine complex simulations within high-performance computing environments, effectively deploying GPU acceleration to maximize workflow performance. WHAT YOU GET * Competitive salary and benefits * Training budget — we believe continuous education is essential for you and for us. * Work directly with a world-class engineering team that sets high standards and means it. * Visible, high-impact work inside a collaborative, multicultural environment where your contributions are recognised. * Real influence on how the world’s best engineering organisations use AI to design better products — faster and more sustainably. * Ample GPU/CPU resources via HPC and Cloud for your simulation and AI workloads. * Hybrid working model — 3 days in the Lausanne office, flexible hours, and we care about output not schedules. WE'RE PROUD TO BE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER, AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO BUILDING A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU CAN THRIVE.

Harmattan AI

ABOUT US Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces. Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected. About the Role Power electronics are the bottleneck on every next-generation UAS airframe we build: motor controllers, gate drivers, and DC-DC stages are what define flight time, payload, thermal envelope, and field reliability. We're looking for a senior IC to own the analog power chain end-to-end across our UXV platforms: from MOSFET commutation simulation through PCB layout to lab validation. You will be the technical reference on power electronics inside our Lausanne engineering hub, unblocking propulsion, airframe, and embedded teams in parallel as we scale from prototype cadence to multi-platform deployment. This is a builder role, not a research seat. You ship hardware. Responsibilities * Power Stage Architecture: Lead motor-controller and DC-DC topology across fixed-wing, multicopter, and hybrid UXV platforms. Translate mission constraints into power-chain specification. * MOSFET Commutation & Gate-Drive Design: Own the analog switching design: dead-time tuning, gate shaping, switching-loss vs EMI vs thermal trade-offs. * Multi-fidelity Simulation: Deploy the full stack: analytical loss budgeting, transient SPICE (LTspice), system-level modelling in PLECS or Simulink. * BLDC Drive Stages: Design three-phase inverters with integrated current sensing, protection, Trapezoidal and FOC-aware hardware interfaces. * High-Power-Density PCBA: Lead schematic and layout in Altium or KiCad with thermal, parasitics, and EMC engineered in from the first revision. * EMI / EMC Engineering: Drive pre-compliance, filter design, and root-cause debug under flight-representative loads. * Prototype-to-Production: Take motor-controller PCBAs through revision discipline, DFM, and qualification - closing the loop on field returns. * Lab Validation: Execute bench characterization (power analysers, oscilloscopes, thermal imaging, double-pulse testing) and reconcile against simulation. * Firmware & Controls Interface: Partner with embedded and propulsion on FOC tuning, current-sense calibration, and the hardware/firmware compensation boundary. * Design Authority & Mentorship: Set the bar via design-decision records and reference designs. Mentor 1–2 junior engineers. Candidate Requirements * MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent. * 5+ years of hands-on R&D experience on motor drives, BLDC/PMSM controllers, or high-power-density power electronics. * Deep working mastery of MOSFET commutation design: gate-driver selection, dead-time tuning, switching transitions, loss budgets. * Proven ownership of at least one motor-controller PCBA shipped from prototype through production (or pre-production qualification): ideally on drone, robotics, eVTOL, or automotive platforms. * Fluency in simulation (LTspice, PLECS, or Simulink) and PCB design (Altium). * Strong, hard-earned intuition for EMI / EMC design and debug. * Lab-bench discipline: you've personally debugged what simulation missed. * Comfort with scale-up iteration speed and end-to-end ownership. * English fluent (working language); French is a nice-to-have, not a requirement. Bonus points for: GaN / SiC experience, safety-critical design exposure , applied control theory implemented in hardware, exposure to defense, aerospace, or UAS programmes. We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
