Description
Periodic Labs is hiring a Computational Scientist to develop structural, thermal, and coupled thermo-mechanical simulation capabilities for semiconductor systems and advanced materials. The role involves building or extending custom finite-element and other solvers, modeling material behavior, validating simulations against experimental data, creating datasets for machine learning, and automating large-scale simulation pipelines. Candidates should have a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, strong computational-mechanics and solid-mechanics expertise, and experience with FEM coding or open-source simulation frameworks; the role is based in Menlo Park, California, with San Francisco soon available, and offers $250,000–$350,000 plus equity and visa sponsorship.
