Head of Public Relations & Communications

Flexcompute is redefining the future of hardware engineering by making hardware innovation as easy as software. Our Physics Intelligence platform unifies GPU-native physics simulation, AI-driven geometry automation, and continuous physics learning into the world’s first fully automated, AI-native simulation ecosystem. This enables customers to collapse multi-month engineering cycles into real-time iteration across aerospace, automotive, robotics, energy, and next-generation hardware sectors.

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.

What You’ll Own

• 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.

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.

Bonus points if you have:

• 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

Why Join?

We aren't a typical Silicon Valley startup. We are a collective of over 65 PhDs in Physics and Mathematics who have spent their lives obsessing over the fundamental laws of the universe.

Our team members have built legendary open-source projects and led research that defines the current state of the art. We’re here because the next era of AI depends on the hardware it runs on. The problems we touch are foundational:

• Hyperscale Datacenters: Optimizing the thermal and EM foundations of the AI revolution.
• Urban Air Mobility: Helping flying cars cut through city traffic.
• Space Exploration: Simulating the rockets that will take us to Mars.
• Wearable Intelligence: Shrinking AI into devices that disappear into our daily lives.

We don't just calculate the future; we enable engineers to build it. As our Head of PR, your work will be grounded in substance - it is the collective brainpower of 100 of the world’s leading physicists and the most ambitious engineering projects on Earth.

Benefits:
• Competitive compensation with equity of a fast-growing startup.
• Medical, dental, and vision health insurance.
• 401(k) Contribution.
• Gym allowance.
• Friendly, thoughtful, and intelligent coworkers.
