The Electromagnetic Theory & Simulation Department is seeking a candidate with a background in electromagnetic theory, computational physics, and/or computer science for the development and application of electromagnetic computational simulation software.

Key functions of this role include, but are not limited to:

• Simulate electromagnetic environments and their effect on complex systems.
• Boundary element method (integral equation method-of-moments) and finite-element techniques. Development of this software will include algorithmic enhancements to enable the electromagnetic simulation of complex systems, improve the usability of the code for electromagnetic analysts, and provide alternate solution methods for generalized capability to address a wide array of electromagnetic problems.
• You will assist in identifying, developing, and implementing advanced computational solution methods. In addition, these software tools will be implemented with next generation high-performance computing platforms in mind. These platforms will use a MPI+X environment, a hybrid parallel distributed and threaded processing paradigm. In the near term, the threaded processing platforms include nVidia GPUs. As part of a software team you are expected to work well in an environment that uses agile methods of software engineering.

The selected applicant can be a remote worker located in any U.S. State or District of Columbia. Regular or periodic travel to your assigned work location may be required.
