Build material structures, compositions, and simulation inputs.
Run and analyze atomistic, electronic, molecular-dynamics, continuum, or electrochemical simulations.
Use Python to automate simulations, parameter sweeps, and data analysis.
Analyze mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and structural properties.
Diagnose convergence, numerical, modeling, and physical-assumption issues.
Compare results with experiments, literature, and expected physical trends.
Review AI-generated solutions and develop reliable reference solutions.

Materials Simulation & Analysis
Python
Scientific Computing
Structure–Property Relationships
Numerical Validation & Troubleshooting
Technical Problem-Solving

Tools

Experience with tools such as LAMMPS, ASE, pymatgen, Quantum ESPRESSO, FEniCSx, CalculiX, Elmer, PyBaMM , or equivalent CLI/API-based software. Familiarity with NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, or Jupyter is beneficial.

Qualifications

MS/PhD in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or related field; or Mechanical/Chemical Engineering with strong materials specialization.
Experience in computational materials modeling, simulation, characterization, or materials R&D.
Strong Python and programmatic engineering-tool experience.
Ability to explain modeling assumptions, validate results, and distinguish computational errors from physical behavior.
