We are looking for a highly skilled Materials Science Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving computational materials science materials modeling scientific simulation and Python.

The work involves creating solving reviewing and validating engineering tasks related to material structures properties processing performance and failure. A representative task may require constructing a material or atomic model configuring and running a simulation calculating relevant properties analyzing the resulting outputs and determining whether the solution is computationally valid and physically meaningful.

This is a very coding heavy role. Candidates but have experience using coding agents with python in their workflow.

1. Solve and validate computational materials-science and materials-engineering problems.
2. Create material structures atomic configurations compositions and solver-ready inputs.
3. Model relationships between composition structure processing properties and performance.
4. Run atomistic electronic-structure molecular-dynamics continuum electrochemical or related simulations.
5. Use Python to generate inputs automate calculations conduct parameter sweeps process results and validate outputs.

1. An MS or PhD in Materials Science and Engineering Metallurgy or a closely related discipline; or
2. An MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering with a substantial materials specialization.
3. Strong understanding of materials behavior and relevant structure-property relationships.
4. Experience with computational materials modeling simulation characterization or materials-focused engineering analysis.
5. Experience using coding agents and Python.

Relevant tools may include LAMMPS ASE pymatgen Quantum ESPRESSO FEniCSx CalculiX Elmer PyBaMM or similar programmatic materials and simulation software. Experience with an equivalent CLI-accessible tool is acceptable.

Relevant Python tools may include NumPy SciPy pandas Matplotlib Jupyter atomistic modeling packages materials informatics libraries or domain-specific scientific tools. No single library is mandatory.

Experience may come from academic research national laboratories industry R&D computational engineering or other demonstrated materials work.

1. Apply to the role and complete the screening questions.
2. Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
3. Complete the hiring manager review.

Compensation is output-based. Experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required to complete each task may vary depending on the experts experience and workflow.

Minimum submission requirements apply.

1. We typically fill roles within 48 hours and are looking for experts who are ready to begin immediately. If selected you will be expected to start your first task within 2448 hours of completing onboarding.
