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.

- 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.
