Research Scientist (multiple openings)

Numerica's Research Scientists excel at developing state-of-the art algorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-world applications.

Working in small innovative teams, our research scientists build solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don’t end once we’ve written a journal or conference paper describing our technology;

rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government and industry are successful.

As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote, Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Therefore, Numerica is seeking talented magicians to join in our common struggle of expanding the boundary of what’s possible.

• What You Will Do : Contribute to the direction of a talented small team with your expertise and ideas; Create mathematically principled solutions to some of the world’s most challenging information science problems;
• Prototype state-of-the-art algorithms in an agile development environment; Implement high-performance software spanning the spectrum from tactical systems to web applications;
• Use high-fidelity modeling and simulation environments, innovative analysis tools, and flexible compute clusters to quantify the benefit of our technology;

Engage with our customers, to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs; Help your colleagues and customers understand what you’re doing and why.

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE A Research Scientist at Numerica should possess an M.S. or Ph.D. in Applied or Computational Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Controls and Dynamical Systems, Aerospace Engineering, Statistics and Probability, or a related field.

• A Research Scientist should have a record of academic excellence, including demonstrated experience in most of the following areas : Applied Mathematics : differential equations, linear algebra, numerical analysis, and continuous or discrete optimization;
