Physicist

Overview In this role you will advance multiphysics simulations to support weapons effects analyses for government contracts. You will work with cross-functional teams to deliver validated CFD and CSD models, tackling fluid-structure interactions and thermal responses under relevant operating conditions. The position emphasizes rigorous uncertainty analysis and documentation of technical findings. This is a mission-driven opportunity to shape state-of-the-art defense simulations in a fast-paced environment.
