AI Technology Lead (m/f/d)

Engineering software is at a structural turning point.

For decades, CAD systems digitized drawing. At WSCAD, we are building the next paradigm: AI-native engineering systems, where AI is not an add-on, but the core operating layer of engineering workflows.

We are looking for an AI Technology Lead to architect this next-generation platform — a system that understands engineering intent, reasons across disciplines, and orchestrates workflows from concept to installation.

At WSCAD, AI is not a side project; it is a core element of the future platform. The role therefore does not center on isolated model training, standalone AI features, research detached from production, or experimentation without responsibility for real-world impact.

What Awaits You – Your Responsibilities

Architect the AI core of WSCAD’s engineering platform, embedding AI as the operating layer — not a service add-on
Design AI-native engineering workflows, including reasoning, rule interpretation, validation, constraint solving, and optimization
Bridge AI, software architecture, and engineering domain knowledge, working closely with product, platform, and electrical engineering experts
Set technical direction for AI at WSCAD, mentoring engineers and integrating state-of-the-art AI approaches where they deliver real engineering value

What We Expect – Your Qualifications

Strong software engineering background, with experience building production-grade systems (not just prototypes)
Solid experience in AI system design, including one or more of:
applied machine learning
AI systems engineering
constraint solving or optimization
symbolic and statistical AI approaches
knowledge representation and reasoning
Architectural mindset, comfortable designing platforms where AI is a core component
Experience reasoning about data flows, model lifecycle, validation, explainability, and reliability in production
Ability to work across disciplines and translate domain logic into robust system behavior
Nice To Have

Experience with engineering or industrial software (e.g. CAD/CAE/PLM, automation, digital twins)
Exposure to rule-based systems, engineering constraints, or safety-critical environments

Benefits

A defining role in building a new category of engineering software
Direct influence on product architecture and strategy
Highly competitive compensation and a long-term growth path
A growing company with a motivated team and helpful colleagues
Flexible working hours and a hybrid working model
30 days annual leave
An individual onboarding programs
High-quality advanced training
A good working atmosphere with an open feedback culture
Benefits package including:
Company pension plan (BAV)
Capital-forming benefits
Employee benefits
Ticket Plus® Card (Edenred)
JobBike
