Career Opportunities in Computational Design, AI + Machine Learning for Engineering + Architecture
Over 150 New Roles for the New Year
As we enter 2026, it’s clear that the demand for technically skilled professionals at the intersection of design, automation, simulation, and AI continues to accelerate.
We’ve curated over 150 new roles in:
Computational design for AEC, engineering manufacturing
Simulation engineering and automation
AI + Machine learning for physical systems
Software development for generative and parametric workflows
Product + UX for engineering platforms
The 150+ roles now open in computational design, simulation, and AI span five key areas: Architecture & AEC, Aerospace & Defense, Product Engineering, Software & Infrastructure, and Machine Learning for Physical Systems.
In aerospace, Airbus, PLD Space, Wisk, and GE Aerospace are hiring for aerodynamics, simulation modeling, and propulsion system engineers. In architecture and AEC, Gensler, HNTB, Buro Happold, Populous, and ARUP are recruiting computational designers, BIM specialists, and digital design leads.
On the software front, major tech players like NVIDIA, Palantir, and OpenAI are building out simulation, CAD automation, and infrastructure teams.
Companies pushing boundaries in machine learning for engineering applications include PhysicsX, Neural Concept, ToffeeX, and nTop, with roles in FEA, CFD, optimization, and ML for CAD/CAE.
Meanwhile, organizations like Nike, LEGO, Axiom Space, and Johnson & Johnson continue to blend computational methods with physical product and system design, with a strong focus on simulation, robotics, and design automation. Salaries across these categories are highly competitive, reflecting the specialized expertise and rapid growth in these domains.
Many of the companies hiring will also be presenting and/or attending Barcelona CDFAM in April. Register now to rub shoulders with other leading experts in computational design, AI + ML for industrial design, engineering and architecture.
The two-day, in person knowledge sharing and networking event provides the perfect platform to learn about the latest approaches to design and engineering, software developments and, industry gossip.
Register now to take advantage of early bird pricing that ends on February 1st.
