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
