We are looking for Materials Science Expert candidates for a project delivered through micro1.
What you'll do
- Create, solve, review, and validate engineering tasks related to material structures, properties, processing, performance, and failure.
- Construct a material or atomic model, configure and run a simulation, calculate relevant properties, analyze the resulting outputs, and determine whether the solution is computationally valid and physically meaningful.
- Solve and validate computational materials-science and materials-engineering problems.
- Create material structures, atomic configurations, compositions, and solver-ready inputs.
- Model relationships between composition, structure, processing, properties, and performance.
- Run atomistic, electronic-structure, molecular-dynamics, continuum, electrochemical, or related simulations.
- Use Python to generate inputs, automate calculations, conduct parameter sweeps, process results, and validate outputs.
What you need
- Experience using coding agents with python in their workflow.
- An MS or PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Metallurgy, or a closely related discipline; or An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering with a substantial materials specialization.
- Strong understanding of materials behavior and relevant structure-property relationships.
- Experience with computational materials modeling, simulation, characterization, or materials-focused engineering analysis.
- Experience using coding agents and Python.
- Experience may come from academic research, national laboratories, industry R&D, computational engineering, or other demonstrated materials work.
Nice to have
- Experience with LAMMPS, ASE, pymatgen, Quantum ESPRESSO, FEniCSx, CalculiX, Elmer, PyBaMM, or similar programmatic materials and simulation software. Experience with an equivalent CLI-accessible tool is acceptable.
- Experience with relevant Python tools such as NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Jupyter, atomistic modeling packages, materials informatics libraries, or domain-specific scientific tools.
