Main place of work: Bergkirchen near Dachau

Start date: immediately

Engineering software is at a structural turning point. At WSCAD, we are building the next paradigm: AI-native engineering systems, where AI is not an add‑on, but the core operating layer of engineering workflows. We are looking for an AI Technology Lead to architect this next-generation platform—a system that understands engineering intent, reasons across disciplines, and orchestrates workflows from concept to installation.

Responsibilities

• Architect the AI core of WSCAD’s engineering platform, embedding AI as the operating layer — not a service add‑on
• Design AI-native engineering workflows, including reasoning, rule interpretation, validation, constraint solving, and optimization
• Bridge AI, software architecture, and engineering domain knowledge, working closely with product, platform, and electrical engineering experts
• Set technical direction for AI at WSCAD, mentoring engineers and integrating state-of-the-art AI approaches where they deliver real engineering value

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering background, with experience building production‑grade systems
• Solid experience in AI system design, including one or more of:
  • applied machine learning
  • AI systems engineering
  • constraint solving or optimization
  • symbolic and statistical AI approaches
  • knowledge representation and reasoning
• Architectural mindset, comfortable designing platforms where AI is a core component
• Experience reasoning about data flows, model lifecycle, validation, explainability, and reliability in production
• Ability to work across disciplines and translate domain logic into robust system behavior

Nice to have

• Experience with engineering or industrial software (e.g. CAD/CAE/PLM, automation, digital twins)
• Exposure to rule‑based systems, engineering constraints, or safety‑critical environments

Benefits

• A defining role in building a new category of engineering software
• Direct influence on product architecture and strategy
• Highly competitive compensation, long‑term growth path
• A growing company with a motivated team and helpful colleagues
• Flexible working hours and a hybrid working model
• 30 days annual leave
• An individual onboarding program
• High‑quality advanced training
• A good working atmosphere with an open feedback culture
