Research Scientist - Generalization

About NPco

Engineering progress is constrained by the speed of simulation. In aerospace, energy, and other safety-critical industries, design cycles are still governed by solvers built for a different era, accurate, but slow and costly, and fundamentally incompatible with real-time decision-making. NPco exists to change that constraint.

Founded by Emmanuel and Matthieu, both former researchers at France's national institute for research in digital science and technology (Inria) working on AI powered simulation, NPco is building foundational AI models for physical simulation. By combining advances in large-scale model architectures with modern compute, we enable real-time iteration across fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, and electromagnetics, without sacrificing physical fidelity.

We want to push engineering towards real time feedback loops. We want Aircraft components to be optimized aerodynamically in real time. Wind farm layouts to be explored interactively to maximize energy yield. Thermal stress in nuclear infrastructure to be anticipated before it becomes a limiting factor. These will come as the natural consequence of the faster physics simulation we are building.

We are deeply embedded in the European research ecosystem, backed by engineers and founders from organizations including Mistral AI, Dataiku, and DeepMind. As we scale our technology into real-world industrial deployments, we are looking for engineers who want to work at the boundary between frontier AI and the most demanding physical systems on earth. We want to become the new technology layer of modern engineering. Our ambition is global, our first office is in Paris, France.
