Full Job Description

Flexcompute is a cutting-edge technology company that specializes in ultra-fast simulation technology. Our products are utilized by companies in designing and optimizing technology products, with applications ranging from designing airplanes and cars to wind turbines and quantum computing chips. Our customer base includes both household names and startups in emerging industries. Our company was founded by world-renowned leaders in simulation technology from Stanford University and MIT. Backed by top VC firms, we are poised to disrupt the billion-dollar engineering simulation industry with our fast-growing trajectory.

Role Overview

Serve as a Flexcompute Ambassador within your academic community, supporting adoption and usage of Tidy3D while acting as a bridge between users and the Flexcompute team. The program offers two flexible tracks: choose the level of involvement that fits your schedule.

Two Ways to Participate

Track 1: Campus Ambassador (perks-based, no minimum commitment). For students who want to evangelize Tidy3D within their network and receive Flexcompute swag, simulation credits, and community access without a fixed time commitment.
Track 2: Technical Support Contributor (paid hourly, up to $35 USD/hr based on experience). For graduate students who can dedicate flexible hours each week answering peer technical questions, producing tutorials, and partnering with the Flexcompute team. Hours are self-scheduled around academic obligations. Typically 5-10 hrs/week, no minimum, no maximum.

Ambassadors can move between tracks each semester as availability changes.

What Makes This Role Unique

You will work directly with one of the fastest electromagnetic solvers in the world while gaining exposure to cutting-edge photonics and simulation workflows. This role offers the opportunity to shape how a new generation of engineers interacts with AI-native physics tools and to play a visible role within a growing technical community.

Responsibilities

All Ambassadors:

Promote Flexcompute tools within your academic network
Provide product feedback based on user experience
Help peers get started with Tidy3D

Technical Support Contributors (paid):

Answer technical questions on the community forum, Slack, and email, covering FDTD setup, meshing, boundary conditions, photonic and RF device design, and Python workflows
Guide users through best practices for common workflows, including geometry setup, sources, monitors, materials, meshing, boundary conditions, convergence checks, and post-processing
Host office hours, demos, workshops, or walkthroughs for students and research groups
Create or improve short technical resources, examples, FAQs, or notebook-based tutorials
Share user feedback, documentation gaps, common questions, and product suggestions with the Flexcompute team
Escalate complex technical issues to Flexcompute with clear context and reproducible examples
Build awareness of Tidy3D within relevant academic communities, labs, and student organizations

Requirements

Current master’s or PhD student in electrical engineering, photonics, optics, applied physics, semiconductor engineering, computational science, or a related technical field
Hands-on experience with Tidy3D or another EM simulation tool (Lumerical, HFSS, COMSOL, CST, MEEP, FEKO, or similar)
Comfort with Python (Tidy3D is Python-first)
Strong written communication and self-direction in a remote setting
Active in relevant academic communities, labs, student groups, or research networks
Familiarity with GitHub, documentation, technical writing, or example-notebook creation
Prior experience as a teaching assistant, research mentor, club leader, workshop organizer, or technical community builder

Geographic Scope

Open to students in the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and India. Track 2 compensation is paid in local currency, adjusted for employment-law requirements.

Success Metrics

Quality and responsiveness of user support
Increased engagement within academic user communities
Volume and quality of technical content produced (Track 2)
Actionable feedback contributing to product improvements

Benefits

Flexible, self-scheduled hours around academic commitments
Competitive hourly compensation for technical contributors
Access to Tidy3D simulation credits and Flexcompute resources
Direct mentorship and collaboration with Flexcompute engineers and researchers
Potential pathway to future internships or full-time roles
