Forward-Deployed Engineer

The role

You work inside a customer’s engineering team. You learn how they design today, connect Kalyr to their design software and calculation tools, and prove each design step on their own past projects before they rely on it.

Most projects start with one design package on a project the customer has already delivered. You set up Kalyr on the customer’s own servers, connect their tools, run the tests on cases whose answers are known, and present the results side by side to the engineers who sign.

What you will do

• Install Kalyr on customer servers with their IT team, often with no internet connection.
• Connect Kalyr to the customer’s design software, simulation tools and PLM, and test a full round trip.
• Choose the first package with the customer and build test cases from their past projects, with the answers kept hidden.
• Set today’s hours and cost as the baseline before the work starts.
• Run each readout with the customer’s engineers: correct, usable and worth it, scored on their own work.
• Turn what you build for one customer into reusable product, so each deployment is faster than the last.

What you bring

• Hands-on software integration with strong Python, and experience with engineering design or simulation software (CAD, CAE or PLM).
• Software you have deployed on customer premises, including secure or offline environments.
• An engineering background, or years working alongside design engineers, so you speak their language.
• Clear explanations of results and their limits to engineers, managers and IT.
• Readiness for regular travel and long stretches on customer sites.
• A plus: scripting or API work in a major CAD or CAE system.

What you will work with

Python, CAD, CAE and PLM integrations, Linux servers and GPU hardware on customer premises, and Kalyr’s release and test tooling.

What success looks like

In your opening months, Kalyr runs on one customer’s servers, connected to their tools, and produces one package from a past project that their engineers score against what they delivered.

How we work

We work with clear responsibility and direct communication. We test ideas against evidence, write down important decisions and flag problems early. High standards and appreciation belong together: we expect careful work and treat the people doing it with respect.

The company

Embreier builds Kalyr, AI for industrial engineering teams. Kalyr puts senior experts’ know-how to work in every system and every team: it does routine design work in the customer’s own software, within the rules their experts set, and the customer’s engineers decide and sign. We are based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
