Stand is a new technology and insurance company revolutionizing how society assesses, mitigates, and adapts to climate risks. Our leadership team has extensive experience in insurance, technology, and climate science.

We leverage advanced deterministic models and cutting-edge analytics to provide personalized risk assessments—helping homeowners secure coverage and take proactive steps toward resilience.

Role Summary

As a Physics Simulation Engineer on the Applied Science team, you’ll play a key role in developing and deploying advanced computational physics models, collaborating closely with engineers, technologists, and leadership in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

We’re investing in physics-based simulation as a core capability to model and mitigate risk. This includes adapting traditionally high-cost engineering methods into scalable, automated tools that operate orders of magnitude faster.

Responsibilities

• Owning our core CFD / thermofluid solvers and their supporting scripts and infrastructure
• Translating real-world physics into simulation code (e.g., combustion, wind dynamics)
• Tuning and validating models and methods against empirical data and experiments
• Running simulations and communicating results to cross-functional teams
• Accelerating traditional numerical solvers and simulation runtimes
• Supporting the development of AI-driven physics models alongside researchers and engineers

Requirements

Why Join Stand

At Stand, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team redefining how insurance intersects with climate resilience. This is a unique opportunity to build something transformative—leveraging advanced technology, underwriting expertise, and data-driven insights to create a smarter, more adaptive insurance model.
