Principal Simulation Engineer

What you'll do

• Develop and deploy high-performance numerical solvers and simulation models, including for real-time or near-real-time execution on HPC, GPUs, and specialized hardware.
• Integrate solvers into simulation pipelines and hardware systems, and guide computational geometry and meshing for large-scale simulations.
• Contribute to model-predictive control strategies and maintain documentation for algorithms, solvers, and integrated systems.

What they ask for

• Bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics, physics, computer science, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of professional experience developing custom simulation solvers with a PhD in one of the above fields.
• Demonstrated experience writing low-level numerical solvers for physical simulations; strong programming skills in C, C++, or CUDA.
• Experience developing simulations in a high-performance compute environment; academic or professional familiarity with solid mechanics, continuum mechanics, or other physical modeling domains.

Nice to have

• Experience with real-time or near-real-time GPU or parallel-computing simulations, direct numerical simulation models, or thermo-elastic or thermo-elastoplastic modeling.
• Familiarity with computational geometry, meshing, data-driven or hybrid physics/data modeling, optimization, or control theory.
