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.
