Applied Scientist / Domain Expert, Ai4engineering - Emea

Mistral AI Mistral AI · AI Frontier · Paris, France · Business

Applied Scientist with deep domain expertise in physics and engineering sciences to work at the frontier of AI-accelerated simulation. The role involves building and deploying AI Physics Models alongside LLMs for industrial customers, contributing across the full stack from data curation to model training and evaluation, and delivering production-grade AI solutions.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and run large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers (e.g. OpenFOAM, ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus)
  2. Run training of AI models on physics data, with rigorous evaluation of coverage, accuracy, and quality against industry validation standards
  3. Build tools and frameworks for automated dataset creation, simulation pipeline management, and model evaluation
  4. Collaborate closely with the collaborate with the science/research team on training runs and diagnose failure modes arising from data gaps or architecture limitations
  5. Manage research projects and client communications with engineering teams
