The Organizations Presenting at CDFAM Barcelona Are Hiring
CDFAM Careers: March 2026
One of the less obvious benefits of attending a CDFAM event is proximity to the people making hiring decisions at organizations working at the frontier of computational design and engineering AI.
The program attracts practitioners and researchers who are, by definition, embedded in the most technically demanding problems in their fields. Many of them are also actively building their teams.
The current CDFAM Careers Board makes this a little more obvious.
Over 200 roles are listed, and a significant number of them come from organizations presenting at CDFAM Barcelona on April 8-9. These are not peripheral participants. They are on the program because they have something substantive to contribute to a technically rigorous audience.
Who Is Hiring
Across simulation and physics-based AI, PhysicsX has posted an extensive range of roles spanning CFD, FEA, machine learning, forward-deployed engineering, and software development across London, Singapore, and New York. BeyondMath, Emmi AI, and Pasteur Labs each have simulation-focused positions open. Airbus has multiple engineering roles in Getafe, covering aerodynamics and flight dynamics.
In computational design software and platform engineering, nTop is hiring across infrastructure, workload orchestration, and field solutions. Tech Soft 3D and Cognitive Design Systems both have roles open alongside their presence on the program.
In generative and computational design for product development, NIKE has posted multiple positions spanning generative design, 3D footwear, and computational design innovation. ARENA-AI has a broad slate of electrical engineering, simulation, and software roles. Compute Maritime is hiring across naval architecture, machine learning, and full stack development. Istari Digital has openings in digital engineering, software, and machine learning.
Beyond the Barcelona cohort, the board currently includes roles at Heatherwick Studio, Foster + Partners, OXMAN, Divergent, Autodesk, Arup, SOM, ETH Zurich, and others across architecture, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and research.
Why This Matters
The concentration of disciplines represented on the CDFAM Careers board reflects the same breadth as the program itself.
Computational design is not a single field. It spans simulation-driven structural engineering, physics-native AI, generative product design, robotic fabrication, architected materials, and large-scale building systems.
The organizations hiring across these areas rarely occupy the same room.
CDFAM Barcelona is one of the few contexts where that overlap occurs in person. For anyone evaluating their next move, or looking to understand where the field is heading and who is investing in it, the program and the careers board are worth reading together.
