Requisition Id 16825
Overview:The Multiphysics Modeling and Flows (MMF) Group in the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division is seeking a software application engineer with expertise in computational mesh generation to generate validated computational results that are used for large-scale, physics-based simulations for variety of applications.
What does our ideal teammate look like and what will you be doing?In this role, you will be responsible for working with subject matter experts to understand and refine new CFD application and/or CFD discretization techniques and then lead the implementation of these techniques into large-scale, automatic computational work-flows with particular attention paid to computational accuracy. It is expected that there will be an initial focus on unstructured CFD discretization and conformal mesh generation techniques for applications requiring boundary-layer (i.e., large aspect ratio) meshing capabilities. Additional application methods of interest include adaptive meshing for design/shape optimization as well as solution optimization.
In addition to software development/application, you will also engage with the broader community of industry, national labs, and academic partners to understand and advance the state-of-the-art in CFD applications and work-flows.
Basic Qualifications:- An MS in mathematics, computer science, engineering or a related field or a PhD in mathematics, computer science, engineering with relevant experience.
Preferred Qualifications:The following are a list of preferred qualifications, but not required.- Experience with mesh generation/CFD applications for unstructured meshes and/or finite element methods
- Experience with CFD discretization techniques for unstructured meshes and/or finite elements with an emphasis on highly scalable algorithms for exascale HPC environments
- Experience with parallel computing environments, HPC in a Linux environment
- Experience with surrogate modeling
- Experience with data analytics techniques
- Familiarity with C++ and GPU programming
- Familiarity with Python programming
- Experience with modern software development practices to ensure code quality
- Experience with computational geometry
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Ability to work with a measure of autonomy and a willingness to participate creatively in a collaborative team environment
Special Requirements:- Visa Sponsorship: Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
- Security, Credentialing, and Eligibility Requirements: Q Clearance: This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a clearance from the Department of Energy. As such, this position is a Workplace Substance Abuse (WSAP) testing designated position. WSAP positions require passing a pre-placement drug test and participation in an ongoing random drug testing program.
