ABOUT NEURAL CONCEPT

Engineering is at an inflection point. The teams defining the next generation of aircraft, electric vehicles, and consumer products are not just designing faster — they are designing fundamentally differently, with AI embedded at the core of their workflows.

Neural Concept builds the Engineering AI platform that makes this possible. We help the world's leading engineering teams accelerate development, improve product outcomes, and scale engineering capacity — turning months of simulation into days, and engineering intuition into data-driven insight.

We work with elite engineering teams in Automotive, Aerospace, High-Tech and Electronics, and advanced manufacturing, where the stakes are high, the complexity is rising, and the pressure to innovate has never been greater. We are changing how engineers work. Come build that future with us.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Account Executive to develop strategic customers and prospects establishing Engineering AI as a new standard for product development. You will own the full enterprise sales cycle, from identifying prospects, to advancing opportunities, closing and expanding strategic customers.
