ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Solutions Engineer at Luminary, you will help customers turn complex engineering challenges into clear technical opportunities. You will work with engineering teams to understand the problem, identify where Luminary can have the greatest impact, and shape solutions around their simulation and design workflows. The role requires strong engineering judgment, curiosity, and the ability to connect customer needs with the right technical path. You should be comfortable moving between detailed technical discussions with simulation engineers and broader conversations with engineering leaders, IT and infrastructure teams.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
•
Lead technical discovery and define approaches for complex CAE use cases.
•
Deliver technical demonstrations, workshops, and proofs of concept tailored to customer needs.
•
Partner with Account Executives through the sales cycle, and with Forward Deployed Engineering, AI/ML, Product, and Engineering on technical engagements.
•
Help customers understand how Physics AI, simulation, and automation fit into their engineering workflows.
•
Identify technical risks, integration requirements, and product gaps, and contribute to proposals and scopes of work.
•
Bring customer feedback back to Product and Engineering, and develop reusable demos, solution patterns, and technical content.
•
Identify and scope new use cases with existing customers.
•
Travel to customer sites for workshops, demonstrations, and technical reviews.

JOIN THE REVOLUTION IN ENGINEERING INNOVATION
Engineering simulation is fundamental to how the world’s most advanced products are designed, but many of the hardest problems remain constrained by compute, time, and traditional workflows. Luminary is changing that. Our Physics AI platform brings together high-fidelity engineering simulation, AI, and modern computing to help engineering teams explore more designs, make better decisions, and solve problems that were previously out of reach.
We’re looking for a Senior or Principal Solutions Engineer to work closely with customers on their most important engineering challenges.
