Watertown, Massachusetts, United States On-site Employment

EM is hiring a Computational Mechanics Scientist (Structural Solver)

Responsibilities

  • Formulate and code mathematical models for structural behavior, maintaining thermodynamic correctness and precision in both linear and nonlinear scenarios.
  • Develop the foundational numerical architecture, selecting appropriate discretization techniques such as finite element, discontinuous Galerkin, or isogeometric analysis to optimize stability, accuracy, and performance.
  • Implement high-performance, well-structured algorithms capable of solving large systems of equations efficiently.
  • Analyze solver output by interpreting not only computational patterns but also underlying physical implications, differentiating numerical artifacts from real-world phenomena.
  • Lead development of a core software module while collaborating directly with leading specialists in electromagnetics and fluid dynamics for multiphysics challenges.
  • Engage in recurring technical knowledge-sharing sessions covering topics from advanced mathematics to high-performance computing concepts.

Benefits

  • Full coverage for medical, dental, and vision care
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Financial support for gym memberships or fitness activities

Compensation

Competitive salary plus significant equity stake in a rapidly expanding startup

Other

Merit-based culture where decisions are guided by the strength of ideas rather than hierarchy or titles.
