Software Performance Post Master's Intern

What You Will Do

The Eulerian Codes Group (XCP-2) is looking for exceptional candidates to develop and optimize cutting‑edge algorithms for massively parallel multi‑physics codes on heterogeneous high‑performance computing platforms. XCP-2 staff span a wide range of computational physics disciplines including software engineering, numerical fluid and solid mechanics, materials science, radiation hydrodynamics, plasma physics, turbulence, magneto hydrodynamics, high explosives, nuclear physics and engineering, and neutral and charged particle transport.

The duties of our well‑compensated professionals include research and development of applied physics and engineering models, the implementation of these methods into production codes using excellent software development practices, the testing and validation of these methods, and the education and support of users as they adopt these methods.
