MistralAmsterdamHybridFull-time19 Aug 2026

Mistral is seeking an AI Scientist with expertise in engineering sciences and machine learning to research and train foundational physics models for AI-accelerated simulation. The role involves working across the full research stack, from curating simulation datasets to designing novel architectures and evaluating against engineering standards. Candidates should have a PhD or Master's in CS/AI or an engineering science, strong ML expertise, and experience with simulation or surrogate modelling.

What you'll do

  • Research and train novel foundation models for physics simulation, pushing past today's state of the art in accuracy, generalization, and scale
  • Design and run large-scale simulation campaigns using domain-specific solvers to build the high-fidelity datasets foundational physics models need
  • Investigate architectures and training strategies (e.g. multi-fidelity training, pretraining objectives, scaling behavior) that let a single foundation model transfer and fine-tune well across diverse engineering tasks
