  • Work with software teams (your primary customers) to understand their workflows, debug issues on the platform, and shape the model to maximize their productivity
  • Drive simulation performance improvements so the platform can handle increasingly complex workloads at scale
  • Contribute to model architecture decisions — choosing the right level of abstraction and fidelity for each subsystem based on customer needs
