At SimScale, we often talk about our mission to make high-fidelity engineering simulation accessible to every engineer, designer, and innovator. But the truth is, this mission doesn’t just happen on its own, it’s made possible by the talented, passionate people who bring their best to SimScale every single day.
A few months ago, we started a tradition we’ve come to look forward to during our company meetings: our Employee Spotlights. Every two weeks, we feature a new spotlight in our company meeting, giving the entire team a chance to hear the story firsthand. It has become a small but meaningful ritual, one that sparks conversations, shared laughter, and sometimes even surprise collaborations. In each one, a member of our team shares a bit of their story – how they joined SimScale, what they work on, where in the world they’re based, and even a few personal insights you won’t find in a LinkedIn bio.
A Series That Brings Us Closer
With colleagues spread across multiple continents and time zones, these spotlights have become a way for us to connect more deeply. Sometimes that means discovering how a career has evolved, like a former intern on our frontend team who now works in a completely different area of the company. Other times it is about the personal details that make each story memorable, such as what keeps someone motivated and inspired even after many years at SimScale.
We have heard about proud milestones, tricky challenges overcome, and the small, everyday moments that make working at SimScale rewarding. And while these stories started as a way to connect internally, we realized they are just too good not to share.
What You’ll Find in Each Spotlight
Every story is different, but most touch on:
- Their journey at SimScale — How they joined and how their role has evolved.
- Where they’re based — Our offices, remote hubs, and unexpected corners of the world.
- What they work on — From advancing our simulation platform to supporting customers.
- How they can help — Areas of expertise they bring to colleagues and users alike.
- What inspires them — Whether it’s the tech, the mission, or the people.
Why We’re Sharing These Stories
In a company built on innovation, it is easy to focus on technology. But it is the people who bring that technology to life. Every improvement to our platform, every customer success story, and every breakthrough in engineering simulation begins with someone’s creativity, expertise, and dedication.
By sharing these stories, we aim to do more than simply introducing colleagues. We are recognizing the hard work, personal journeys, and unique perspectives that make SimScale stronger. For our team, the spotlights are a moment to pause and appreciate each other’s contributions. They remind us that we are part of something bigger than our individual tasks and that our work is connected through a shared mission.
This tradition gives employees a chance to feel seen, not only for what they work on but also for who they are. In a distributed, global company, that kind of recognition strengthens bonds, builds mutual respect, and helps newer team members feel connected to the company’s history and culture.
It has also become a way for all of us to better understand the variety of roles, skills, and career paths within SimScale. From engineers and product managers to customer success experts and marketers, the spotlights highlight the many different contributions that make the platform what it is today.
Because behind every simulation is a person, and every person has a story worth telling.
