Job Information
Meta Simulation Engineer, Computational Mechanics in Redmond, Washington
Summary:
We are seeking an experienced simulation engineer with a strong background in computational methods, machine learning, and material science. Candidate will use computational methods to speed up the development of novel materials targeting specific mechanical and thermal properties, and develop models and test plans to evaluate relevant properties once the novel materials are synthesized. Our ideal candidate approaches complex problems with an analytical mindset firmly rooted in scientific first principles. They are unafraid to challenge underlying assumptions and are dedicated to delivering solutions in addition to insight. We want someone who works well in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment, can drive clarity from ambiguity, communicates complex concepts clearly, and is unafraid to tackle new challenges.
