About the role

  • This person needs to be comfortable working in an interdisciplinary environment that iterates quickly and decisively.

Responsibilities

  • Develop high-performance numerical solvers for simulating the physics of advanced metal 3D printing systems
  • Implement numerical simulation models for real-time or near-real-time performance on HPC or GPU platforms
  • Work with software engineers to build and deploy physics-based and data-driven models of the laser powder bed fusion process
  • Guide the integration of computational geometry and meshing techniques to support large-scale, physics-driven simulations
  • Generate and maintain documentation for all algorithms, solvers, and integrated systems
  • Experience developing simulations in a high-performance compute environment (i.e. running on GPUs)

Requirements

  • Master's degree in applied mathematics, physics, computer science, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field
  • 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!

Nice to have

  • Experience with real-time or near-real-time simulations on GPU or parallel computing platforms
  • Experience with direct numerical simulation (DNS) models
  • Familiarity with solid mechanics, continuum mechanics, or other physical modeling domains
  • Experience with thermo-elastic or thermo-elastoplastic modeling
  • Familiarity with computational geometry and meshing techniques
  • Familiarity with optimization techniques and control theory
  • Experience with 2D and 3D meshing libraries and tools
  • Creative problem solver with a strong foundation in first-principles thinking and numerical analysis

Compensation

  • Our intent is to offer a salary that is commensurate for the company's current stage of development and allows the employee to grow and develop within a role.

Benefits

  • We have an inclusive and diverse culture that values collaboration, learning, and making deliberate data-driven decisions.
  • Significant stock option packages
  • 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)
  • Life insurance
  • Paid vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
  • Generous Paid Parental Leave and extended transition back to work for the birthing parent
  • Casual dress, flexible work hours, and regular catered team building events
  • In addition to the significant stock option package, the estimated salary range for this role is $115,000-$150,000.

Company info

  • We offer a unique opportunity to be an early and integral member of a rapidly growing company that is scaling a world-changing technology.
