About us

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software. We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations — empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility. Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.

Who we are looking for

As a customer-facing Delivery Engineer, you are a relationship builder and technical guide who is passionate about growing strategic accounts by transforming AI solutions into lasting customer partnerships. Due to the deep technical nature of the environment we work in, you are someone who can understand advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries and excel at working directly with customers to understand their challenges, ambitions, and evolving needs while serving as their primary point of contact.

We welcome diverse technical backgrounds that bring valuable perspectives to our product. You may come from a Data Science/Machine Learning background with deep understanding of the end-to-end AI/ML product lifecycle, enabling you to explain complex technical concepts to stakeholders and identify new areas of application. Alternatively, you may have an engineering profile bringing domain-specific engineering understanding that helps connect our solutions to real industry challenges. In either case, you bring a unique perspective and you help customers bridge the gap between advanced AI capabilities and practical engineering applications. Note that your current role might not leverage your technical background - for example you might have left the field of engineering but are interesting in returning! You are a keen learner who will become up-to-speed with our core technology stack, cloud/software deployment, and product features, allowing you to support customers with guiding activities and technical requests.

With at least 3-5 years industry experience in a commercial, customer-facing environment, you're ready to take ownership of the complete customer journey - from onboarding and change management to roadmap planning and contract preparation. You excel at strategic planning, time management, and problem-solving, with natural organizational skills that enable you to manage sprint planning, deliverables alignment, and smooth project delivery.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll work closely with both customers and our Simulation Engineers, Software Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are build solutions for. You will:

  • Build and maintain relationships with users and decision-makers at our customers
  • Understand customer industry challenges and translate them into product opportunities and roadmap alignment
  • Own the customer onboarding journey into our platform, working in delivery teams to ensure we build things that are useful and get used
  • Support the running of customer delivery teams, getting involved in planning and product coordination, ensuring the right thing gets built and its value is measured and articulated
  • Find the next useful thing to build for a customer, growing accounts with the help of account owners by identifying problems, users and stakeholders, and preparing proposals (including commercials) and supporting contracting process
  • Track customer engagement and sit side-by-side with customers to collect signal and feedback, making sure the things we build are getting used and creating value

Our delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - read our blog to learn more about how you’ll contribute to this exciting journey! https://www.physicsx.ai/newsroom/how-delivery-makes-physical-ai-work-in-the-real-world

We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics. We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with UK employment and equality legislation. This information is confidential, used only in aggregate form, and will not influence the outcome of your application.

Where to Advertise Materials Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising materials science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans physicists, chemists, metallurgists, ceramicists, polymer scientists and computational materials researchers — a highly multidisciplinary community with distinct professional identities, academic networks and job search behaviours. The strongest candidates are typically embedded in university research groups, national laboratories, government-funded programmes or deep tech R&D teams, and move between roles through specialist academic channels, professional societies and sector-specific networks rather than mainstream job boards. This guide, published by MaterialsScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise materials science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Materials Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Materials Science Job?

If you’re navigating the materials science job market, it can feel like the list of tools, techniques and platforms you should learn grows every week. One job advert mentions electron microscopy, another mentions X-ray diffraction, yet another wants experience with thermal analysis, spectroscopy, simulation software, statistical packages, manufacturing QA systems and more. With so many specialised methods and instruments, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed — and to start thinking you need to know everything just to be considered. Here’s the honest truth most materials science hiring managers won’t tell you directly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every piece of equipment or software. They hire you because you can use the tools you do know to answer real questions, make reliable measurements and communicate results clearly. Tools are essential — no question — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, scientific reasoning and experimental rigour. So the real question is: how many materials science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The precise number depends on the role you want, but for most job seekers the answer is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so your CV and interviews stand out for the right reasons.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Materials Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

Materials science is a broad, interdisciplinary field that spans academia, industry, research, engineering and manufacturing. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, process development, quality assurance, failure analysis, nanomaterials or product scale-up, hiring managers make key decisions within the first few seconds of scanning your application. In competitive job markets, simply listing skills or qualifications isn’t enough. Hiring managers are looking for signals of relevance, technical depth, problem-solving capability and real-world impact — and they expect those signals to be clear right from the top of your CV or portfolio. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers typically look for first in materials science applications, why they look for it, and how you can optimise your CV, cover letter and portfolio so your application stands out and gets past the first filter.
