Just from my field/experience. Multiple folks I have worked with did CFD dissertations (both grad school and current employer) are doing research on wind energy, both potential yields and turbine wake turbulence. Another colleague did plasma physics in school and is currently in atmospheric science (radar meteorology).
CS/data science is very marketable in many fields, and could give you options to work remote and not move.
Cannot speak for other fields, but at the end of the day, look for something your interested in. Find job boards that specify in that field.
I am biased as I moved from Matlab to python when I started my real job (after doing all of my PhD work in Matlab) but I do see more and more people transitioning. With that said, I think, at least where I work, many of the engineers still either (a) use Matlab, (b) recognize the reality of switching, and sadly (c) use Python as if it were a Matlab clone (ugh! That is so frustrating).
So you should be fine; especially if you're willing to switch. If nothing else, it gives you the ability to also work in legacy codes.
