Job Summary:

We are looking for a highly skilled Materials Science Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving computational materials science, materials modeling, scientific simulation, and Python.

The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks related to material structures, properties, processing, performance, and failure. A representative task may require constructing a material or atomic model, configuring and running a simulation, calculating relevant properties, analyzing the resulting outputs, and determining whether the solution is computationally valid and physically meaningful.

This role requires both strong materials expertise and experience using engineering or scientific tools programmatically. Experience limited exclusively to graphical user interfaces will not be sufficient, as task solutions must be reproducible through code, scripts, configuration files, or command-line tools.

What You’ll Work On

1. Solve and validate computational materials-science and materials-engineering problems.
2. Create material structures, atomic configurations, compositions, and solver-ready inputs.
