Design, simulation, and HPC software for manufacturing and product engineering
Altair operates a 3,000+ person software portfolio spanning design simulation (HyperWorks), cloud HPC (HPCWorks), and data analytics (RapidMiner). The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward engineering (80 of 131 open roles), with active projects clustered around automotive electrification—battery pack development, powertrain engineering, production-line launch—paired with pain points centered on cost reduction, quality control, and schedule compression. This signals a customer base in automotive OEM and Tier 1 supplier segments dealing with EV transition complexity.
Altair is a public software company headquartered in Troy, Michigan, serving design engineers, manufacturing operations, and data science teams across automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. The core portfolio—HyperWorks for CAD/CAE simulation and optimization, HPCWorks for on-demand cloud compute, and RapidMiner for predictive analytics—targets organizations optimizing product design cycles and production efficiency. The company operates a units-based licensing model enabling shared, on-demand access. With 3,000+ employees across 50+ nationalities and active hiring in the United States, France, Taiwan, Singapore, Peru, Canada, and Poland, Altair scales predominantly through engineering and manufacturing-focused talent.
