Computational Scientist at Periodic Labs

Periodic Labs is hiring a Computational Scientist to develop differentiable, accelerator-ready simulations for industrially relevant continuum-physics problems, including fluid dynamics, multiscale, and multiphysics systems. The role combines PDE solver development, numerical methods, automatic differentiation, deep learning, surrogate modeling, inverse problems, and validation against experiments or high-fidelity simulations. Candidates should have a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, strong Python and software-engineering skills, and experience applying simulation to realistic scientific or engineering problems. The position is based in Menlo Park, California, with San Francisco as a future location, and offers $250,000–$350,000 plus equity and visa sponsorship.
