Key Responsibilities- Solve and validate computational materials science problems.
- 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
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.
