Applications Engineer: Computational Electromagnetics

COMSOL is seeking an Applications Engineer to join its Pre‑sales and Applications team in its Burlington, MA office. This position provides pre‑sales and post‑sales support to users of the COMSOL® software, with an emphasis on electromagnetic modeling.

• Demonstrate the building of clear and understandable simulation examples for prospective customers in electromagnetics.
• Support prospective customers on the modeling of their applications with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
• Demonstrate use of the COMSOL® software and summarize its features in web‑based workshops and marketing and sales events, along with customer meetings.
• Travel on limited periods to current and potential customers in North and South America to run COMSOL‑sponsored events.
• Support customers on use of the COMSOL® software for their electromagnetic applications and other Multiphysics applications involving different engineering disciplines.
• Initiate and participate in subsequent sales opportunities to existing customers or colleagues and other departments of existing customers.
• Develop technical and simulation knowledge through working with sales and support cases both independently and cooperatively with other sales and applications engineers.
• Run introductory training courses along with electromagnetic‑specific courses.
• Develop and mentor new applications engineers, technical account managers, and sales engineers on the COMSOL® software and its uses in specific application areas.

• A PhD in engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or a physical science.
• A strong theoretical background in electromagnetics and mathematical physics.
• Experience with high frequency electrodynamics such as wave propagation and radiation.
• Twelve months or more experience in modeling applications based on numerical methods, such as the finite element method, gained in a commercial company, government research facility, or university.
• Excellent communication skills on the phone, in person, and in writing.
• Current eligibility to work in the U.S. Must be a permanent U.S. resident.

• Strong background in computational electromagnetics, Maxwell’s equations and numerical methods with demonstrated experience in a variety of frequency ranges.
• Subject matter expertise in one or more of the following applications: antennas, scattering, EMI/EMC, signal and power integrity, metamaterials, photonic integrated circuits, diffractive optics, or other electromagnetic‑based applications.
• Three peer‑reviewed journal publications focused on computational modeling/numerical modeling in applied mathematics/physics, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, optics, or related fields.
