Staff Multiphysics Modeler

The Staff Multiphysics Modeler will work closely with the CFS tritium program and process engineering team to develop a fuel cycle model for the world's first fusion power plant, ARC, located in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

The Staff Multiphysics Modeler will develop simulation toolkits and workflows that integrate first-principles multiphysics simulations with industrial process models to support technology development and subsystem integration for key fuel cycle systems, supported by the CFS fuel team to understand system requirements.

The ideal candidate is an expert in heat and mass transport modeling, with an appreciation for simplicity and drive to build. This individual knows the power of optimizing devices by tuning material parameters, and appreciates a simple non-dimensional analysis and rigorous integrated simulations as the problem space requires. The candidate enjoys teaching and building tools that others can use independently.

Applicants must have a degree in a relevant engineering or science discipline as well as experience in process modeling and programming. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to apply a first principles approach in solving complex engineering problems and experience conducting cost-benefit to evaluate the economics of proposed solutions. Applicants must have demonstrated success working on engineering projects in multi-disciplinary teams generating effective solutions to complex problems.
