  • Familiarity with HPC and cloud deployment for large-scale simulations
  • Experience building reproducible scientific workflows and pipelines

Responsibilities

  • Develop, fine-tune, and deploy machine-learned interatomic potentials across crystalline, amorphous, and multi-component systems.
  • Build infrastructure to integrate interatomic potentials into scalable agentic frameworks for autonomous materials design.
  • Link atomistic simulation workflows with high-throughput laboratory automation and collaborate with automation scientists.
  • Run and validate molecular dynamics simulations using tools like LAMMPS and OpenMM and ensure reproducible workflows.
  • Collaborate with materials scientists, ML researchers, and platform engineers to productionize simulation pipelines on HPC and cloud.
  • Write robust, well-tested, and documented code for modeling workflows and deployment.

Education

  • PhD or equivalent research/industry experience in Computational Materials Science, Computational Chemistry, Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
  • Strong research record or equivalent demonstrated technical impact

Benefits

  • Equity participation
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Flexible and hybrid work arrangements
  • Generous paid time off and parental leave
  • Professional development and conference support
  • 401(k) or retirement plan options (where applicable)
