Northrop Grumman Mission Systems is seeking to develop, design, produce and sustain optimized product lines across the sector while providing a decisive advantage to the warfighter. This role will contribute to this mission by developing and applying algorithms, codes, and analytical tools to solve complex mathematical models related to superconductivity.
Requirements
- Knowledge of multiscale modeling approaches and/or multi-physics simulations.
- Knowledge of superconducting physics, quantum mechanics, or condensed matter physics.
- Knowledge of DFT simulations of materials and interfaces.
- Experience with physics-based modeling and simulation.
- Experience modeling electron-phonon interactions.
- Experience with Monte Carlo simulations of thin film growth and ordering.
- Degree in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or related STEM field.
Responsibilities
- Use and develop algorithms, codes, and analytical tools to numerically solve complex mathematical models of physical phenomena related to superconductivity while interacting with experimental colleagues to solve complex problems.
- Incorporate input from the scientific computing team on code development, testing, and validation of simulation tools, as well as creation of model pipelines or workflows.
- Communicate iteratively and regularly with the simulation team, physicists, engineers, and organizational leadership to determine development requirements and report on progress.
- Develop physics-based mathematical models and/or improve upon existing models for the accurate description of superconductivity, electromagnetism, and quantum-mechanical systems.
- Document methods and results in technical papers and presentations; document code for users and other developers.
