Applied Ai Engineer - Engineering Simulation & Design Exploration
Blyncsy
Location: Quebec (Hybrid) - 3 days a week in office
About the Role
Engineering simulation is undergoing a structural shift. What used to be a slow, solver-driven process is becoming a fast, exploration-driven workflow, enabled by surrogate models, physics-informed AI, and GPU-accelerated methods.This changes not just how simulations run, but how engineers design—moving from evaluating a few options to exploring entire design spaces.We are looking for a hands-on Applied AI Engineer to experiment with these emerging technologies. Your role is to try new tools, test them, benchmark them, integrate them into prototypes, determine what actually works in practice, and give an informed decision on its viability in Bentley’s products. The goal is to develop a clear understanding of where these approaches can realistically transform engineering workflows—and where they cannot.This is an experimental role. You will spend most of your time building and testing prototypes, not writing reports or maintaining production systems.What You Will Do
Keep track of new technologies in the fieldEvaluate emerging simulation and AI tools through hands-on prototypingBuild and benchmark surrogate models against traditional FEM/CFD workflowsTest robustness, limitations, and failure modes of new approachesPrototype hybrid pipelines (e.G., surrogate + high-fidelity validation)Explore how these approaches can integrate into real engineering workflowsReport to stakeholders with clear recommendationsWhat We Are Looking For
Requirements:
Strong programming ability (Python required)Experience with PyTorch, JAX, or similar ML frameworksSolid understanding of numerical simulation:
FEM, CFD, or multiphysics modeling
Familiarity with:
Deep learning, surrogate modeling, reduced-order models, or optimization workflowsGood communication skills and collaborative mindset
Highly Valued
Experience building experimental or research prototypesUnderstanding of design space exploration (DOE, parameter studies, combinatorial optimization)Exposure to physics-informed ML or scientific machine learningExperience working with GPU or high-performance computing environmentsExperience working with machine learning for physics simulationsHands-on experience developing Multiphysics simulation codeMindset
Hands-on, experimental, and comfortable working with incomplete toolsCurious but skeptical—focuses on what works, not what is claimedNaturally tests limits and edge cases, not just happy pathsThinks in terms of workflows and iteration loops, not isolated toolsAble to quickly move from idea → prototype → insightGood business acumen;
able to understand whatbrings value to BentleyWhat Success Looks Like
You build prototypes that demonstrate new ways to accelerate design workflowsYou identify where AI-based approaches are genuinely useful—and where they failYou provide clear, evidence-based insights grounded in experiments, not assumptionsLieu :
Québec (hybride)À propos du rôle
La simulation en ingénierie subit actuellement un changement structurel. Ce qui était auparavant un processus lent, axé sur les solveurs, devient un flux de travail rapide et axé sur l’exploration, rendu possible par les modèles de substitution (surrogate models), l’IA guidée par la physique (physics-informed AI) et les méthodes accélérées par processeur graphique (GPU).Cette évolution change non seulement la façon d'exécuter les simulations, mais aussi la manière dont les ingénieurs conçoivent les projets, passant de l’évaluation limitée de quelques options à l’exploration de l’ensemble des espaces de conception.Nous sommes à la recherche d’un(e) ingénieur(e) en IA appliquée pratique ( hands-on ) pour expérimenter ces technologies émergentes. Votre rôle consistera à essayer de nouveaux outils, à les tester, à les comparer (benchmarking), à les intégrer à des prototypes, à déterminer ce qui fonctionne en pratique et à prendre une décision éclairée quant à leur viabilité dans les produits de Bentley. L’objectif est de développer une compréhension claire de l’endroit où ces approches peuvent concrètement transformer les flux de travail en ingénierie — et de l’endroit où elles ne le peuvent pas.Il s’agit d’un rôle à forte composante expérimentale. Vous passerez la majeure partie de votre temps à concevoir et à tester des prototypes, et non à rédiger des rapports ou à assurer la maintenance de systèmes de production.Ce que vous ferez
Assurer une veille technologique sur les nouveautés dans le domaine.Évaluer les outils émergents de simulation et d’IA par le biais du prototypage pratique.Concevoir et comparer des modèles de substitution par rapport aux flux de travail traditionnels de FEM (méthode des éléments finis) et de CFD (dynamique des fluides numérique).Tester la robustesse, les limites et les modes de défaillance des nouvelles approches.Prototyper des pipelines hybrides (p. ex., modèle de substitution + validation haute fidélité).Explorer comment intégrer ces approches dans de flux de travail d’ingénierie concrets.Présenter des recommandations claires aux parties prenantes.Ce que nous recherchons
Exigences
Fortes compétences en programmation (Python requis).Expérience avec PyTorch, JAX ou d’autres frameworks d’apprentissage automatique similaires.Solide compréhension de la simulation numérique :
Modélisation par FEM, CFD ou modélisation multiphysique.
Connaissance pratique de :
L’apprentissage profond, de la modélisation de substitution, des modèles d’ordre réduit ou des flux de travail d’optimisation.
Bonnes compétences en communication et esprit de collaboration.Atouts majeurs
Expérience dans la création de prototypes expérimentaux ou de recherche.Compréhension de l’exploration de l’espace de conception (plans d’expériences [DOE], études paramétriques, optimisation combinatoire).Exposition à l’apprentissage automatique guidé par la physique (physics-informed ML) ou à l’apprentissage automatique scientifique (scientific ML).Expérience de travail avec des environnements GPU ou calcul haute performance (HPC).Expérience dans l’application de l’apprentissage automatique aux simulations physiques.Expérience pratique du développement de codes de simulation multiphysique.Mentalité
Approche pratique, expérimentale et aisance à travailler avec des outils de développement incomplets.Curiosité teintée de scepticisme — vous vous concentrez sur ce qui fonctionne réellement, et non sur les promesses marketing.Propension naturelle à tester les limites et les cas particuliers (edge cases), et non seulement les scénarios idéaux.Réflexion axée sur les flux de travail et les boucles d’itération, plutôt que sur des outils isolés.Capacité à passer rapidement d’une idée → un prototype → des apprentissages concrets.Bon sens des affaires;
capacité à comprendre ce qui apporte de la valeur à Bentley.À quoi ressemble le succès dans ce rôle
Vous concevez des prototypes qui démontrent de nouvelles façons d’accélérer les flux de travail de conception.Vous identifiez les domaines dans lesquels les approches basées sur l’IA sont véritablement utiles — et ceux où elles échouent.Vous fournissez des perspectives claires et factuelles, basées sur des expériences concrètes et non sur des hypothèses.This is a Hybrid role.What We Offer:
Step into a collaborative work environment where ideas flourish, and teamwork propels us forward towards shared success.An attractive salary and benefits package.Bentley Impact Day: take a day off from work to volunteer with an organization of your choice.Celebrate milestone achievements and moments that matter through our colleague recognition award programs and our Bentley Achievers platform.A commitment to inclusion, belonging and colleague wellbeing through global initiatives and resource groups.Be part of a company committed to making a real difference by advancing the world’s infrastructure for better quality of life, where your contributions help build a more sustainable, connected, and resilient world.
