Job Description
Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International
Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It With Pride.
Working as part of a cross-functional teamcovering broadmodellingdisciplines you are an internallyrecognizedexpert in computational physicsa technical area of critical importance to the R&D function. Youidentifydefineand solve complex modelling and simulation problems tackling R&Ds highest priority ingredient product process and packaging challenges. Applying your in-depth knowledge of this technical specialty you will drive rapid high-quality innovation capabilities across Mondelezs portfolio spanning chocolatebiscuit gum and candy categories.
How you will contribute
You will bring computational physics modelling & simulation capabilities to Mondelez R&Ds highest priority areas developing solutions to move R&D work away from large factory-scale trials towards small-scale or in silico predictions. Specifically you will:
Design and deliver rapid simulation capabilities to drive solutions to business challenges.
Plan lead and manage modelling and simulation projects scoping and proposing opportunities for sustained business impact.
Work closely with engineers and scientists to define complex technical challenges and agree on problem scope.
Communicate complex problems simply to non-technical audiences with relevant businesscontext.
Define the datato build models; collaborate with internal teams or externalorganizationsto collect this information which may include designing experimental tests.
Use software tools to design build test and implement simulations or select and manage delivery through an external partner.
Ensure simulations arevalidatedagainst experimental data including any required experiments or factory trials.
Deploy models via simple UIs using the Mondelez-approved technology stack in collaboration with IT and/or external partners.
Establish strategy and roadmap for integrating computational physics into R&D business processes.
Quantify and communicate the value of computational physics to stakeholders the associated plan and embed learnings into business processes to accelerate innovation and optimization.
Author best-practice documentation and knowledge-basearticles from project learnings.
Share knowledge and coach junior colleagues building internal modelling & simulation capability across R&D.
Maintain data management practices ensuring models datasets and simulation outputs are documented and stored in line with company data governance policies.
Research and keep pace with developments in relevant modelling simulation and virtual prototyping techniques.
Provide regular project updates to senior stakeholders flagging potentialimpedimentsand resource needs.
What you will bring
Physics & Modelling Fundamentals
Fundamental understanding of materials physical properties: how these are measured and modelled (e.g.viscosity thermal conductivity rheology).
Solid understanding of how physical transformations can bemodelled(e.g.conduction of heat fluid mixing phase change).
Ability to decompose complex engineering problems into tractable steps and manage technical ambiguity.
Ability to create andvalidatemodels to test and predict real-world scenarios.
Programming & Software
Proficient in Python for scientific computing data analysis and model deployment (e.g.NumPy SciPy pandas matplotlib).
Familiarity withadditionallanguages such as MATLAB C or Julia isadvantageous.
Experience with machine learning and surrogate modelling frameworks (e.g.scikit-learn TensorFlow orPyTorch).
Version controlproficiencyusing Git / GitHub / GitLab for collaborative code management.
