Full Job Description
Overview

We look for computational materials scientists excited about bridging the gap between materials/chemistry, data science, and computer science to help us develop a software framework for designing and discovering new advanced materials and chemicals.

Work will focus on (1) the application of nanoscale modeling to large sets of materials, surfaces, and reaction pathways with minimal human input, (2) organizing the data produced by the models and experimental validation, (3) establishing artificial intelligence approaches using the data.

Successful candidates will continue into leadership roles as we grow.
This is a full-time permanent position.

Responsibilities
  • software development
  • materials modeling with AI/ML
  • product design and concept development
  • work closely with the engineering team, relay and explain complex concepts

Scientific
  • excellent knowledge of chemistry/materials science (Ph.D. from a tier-1 lab)
  • prior work on advanced electronic structure methods (VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, Gaussian, NWChem, Siesta, or similar)
  • prior experience with machine learning

Engineering
  • python (advanced)
  • Linux/RedHat/Bash (advanced)
  • MongoDB/JSON (intermediate)
  • message-passing interface / OpenMP (intermediate)
  • other (GPU, TPU) - willing to learn

Other
  • ability to learn and apply new concepts rapidly
  • extreme attention to details

Plus
  • familiarity with AWS EC2, Microsoft Azure
