About The Position

Flexcompute is an early-stage technology startup that develops ultra-fast simulation technology to help companies to design and optimize technology products. Our award-winning products are used to design airplanes, wind turbines, quantum computing chips, VR/AR headsets, data centers, and smartphones. Our team consists of world-renowned experts in scientific computing, and we have a global team working remotely from Europe, Asia, North and South America. The Challenge: Why We Exist Hardware engineering is stuck in the dark ages. While software developers iterate in seconds, hardware engineers face fragmented toolchains, long solver cycles, and too much manual cleanup. That friction acts like a simulation tax that slows decision-making and limits iteration. Flexcompute is the end of that era. We go beyond fast solvers: we’ve brought CFD, electromagnetics, thermal, AI, and geometry into a single, AI-native Physics Intelligence platform. The goal is simple: make hardware innovation feel more like software. We don’t just simulate physics; we enable computers to understand it. The Role This is not a traditional PR role focused on press releases and reactive media. You’ll work closely with our founders and technical leadership to translate what we’re building into clear, compelling stories that make VPs of Engineering realize they are living in the past.

Requirements

Self-Starter: You don't wait for a brief. You are a self-starter who has likely run a personal project, column, or community.
Technical Depth: You aren't afraid of the word "electromagnetics" or "Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation." You don't need to be an engineer but you must have the curiosity to become a Physics Intelligence expert.
Autonomous: You want the freedom to plan, execute, and pivot based on results.

Nice To Haves

Run a podcast or newsletter in the Deep Tech, AI, or SaaS space.
Successfully pivoted a company from Tool to Category Leader.
A talent for explaining CPUs vs GPUs in plain language without losing the engineering audience

Responsibilities

Category Narrative: Define the story of Physics Intelligence and clarify what’s broken in legacy workflows. Position Flexcompute as the only solution for the AI-Hardware age.
Thought Leadership: Turn our deep-tech leadership into industry visionaries. If there’s a debate about AI in physics on X, LinkedIn, or at a conference, our voice should be the most provocative and cited.
Product Launches as Events: Less announcement, more narrative arc. You’ll own the rollout of our EM, Thermal, and AI capabilities as a unified platform.
Creator Strategy: Whether it’s your own Substack, podcast, or a history of building an open-source community, we want a practitioner, not a middle-man for agencies.
Technical Translation: You must be able to sit with a PhD in Electromagnetics one hour and a journalist from The Financial Times the next.
