About this role

Forward Deployed Engineer, Physics & Simulation Menlo Park, California, United States About Periodic Labs The most important scientific discoveries of our time won't happen in a traditional lab. We're an AI and physical sciences company building state-of-the-art models to accelerate breakthroughs across materials, energy, and beyond. Backed by world-class investors and growing rapidly, we operate at the pace the frontier requires. Our team brings deep expertise, genuine ownership, and an insatiable drive to push the boundaries of what's scientifically possible. About the Role Periodic Labs is deploying AI-driven simulation to solve some of the hardest physical process optimization problems in advanced manufacturing. As a Forward Deployed Engineer focused on physics and simulation, you will be the technical engine behind our most demanding customer engagements - spending significant time on-site, embedding directly with customer teams, and owning the end-to-end simulation workflow that makes our platform work in the real world. You will work alongside our internal modeling and ML teams to build, calibrate, and iterate on physics-based simulations, translate customer process knowledge into computational models, and drive iterative recipe optimization with direct feedback loops to production. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the frontier of AI for physical science. Willingness to travel to and spend extended time on-site in Taiwan is required. What You'll Do - Own the simulation workflow end-to-end for customer engagements - from model setup and calibration to iterative recipe optimization and results interpretation - Build, run, and debug physics-based simulations of complex physical processes, including multiphase
