Model Jobs in Austria

Company Description

At SGS, we are the world's leading testing, inspection, and certification company, setting the global benchmark for sustainability, quality, and integrity. With a network of 2,650 offices and laboratories and a dedicated team of 97.000 employees, we work together to create a better, safer, and more interconnected world.

Job Description

As Innovation Technologist focused on Virtual Testing you will investigate how physical testing can transition into high-fidelity digital environments, ensuring reliability, accuracy and trust in simulation-based validation. Combining engineering depth with rapid experimentation, the role explores emerging twin technologies, benchmarks fidelity against real-world behavior, and prototypes new validation methods — guiding build, buy, partner or invest decisions and shaping SGS’s future position in digital-only conformity and lab-in-the-box assurance.

Key responsibilities :

• Investigate which domains of physical testing can transition to simulation, digital twins or lab-in-the-box environments, and translate these opportunities into concrete validation needs.
• Prototype and test early simulation workflows, fidelity benchmarks and correlation studies to evaluate how accurately digital models represent real-world behavior.
• Collaborate with universities, research labs and simulation startups to explore emerging approaches in virtual testing, model calibration, sensor emulation and digital-only conformity methods.
• Technically evaluate simulation platforms and digital twin technologies by deconstructing their architecture, assessing fidelity limits, and identifying integration and scalability considerations.
• Provide structured technical input to build, buy, partner or invest decisions by analyzing simulation models, data flows, validation logic and operational constraints.
• Contribute to the design of SGS’s future role in simulation-based assurance — from virtual validation authority to operator of digital test environments or reference twin platforms.
• Support experiments, pilots and early venture incubation by developing scripts, models or proof-of-concept test rigs together with working students and other technologists.
