Riverside Overview
Riverside Research is an independent National Security Nonprofit dedicated to research and development in the national interest. We provide high-end technical services, research and development, and prototype solutions to some of the country's most challenging technical problems.
All Riverside Research opportunities require U.S. Citizenship.
Position Overview
Riverside Research's Applied Mathematics and Physics Solutions group is seeking a Research Engineer/Scientist to support development of high-impact computational electromagnetics (CEM) codes. The candidate will contribute to research and development of new techniques that advance the state-of-the-art in defense industry CEM tools. Candidates will collaborate with a diverse team whose backgrounds include CEM, scientific computing, physics, computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing (HPC) at our facilities in Ohio (Dayton), New York (NYC), and Illinois (Champaign). This position will include work on independent research and development (IRAD) and contracts.
Responsibilities
Designs, develops, documents, writes tests (unit and integration) and debugs scientific software
Researches, prototypes and develops state-of-the-art computational electromagnetics (CEM) and numerical linear algebra algorithms
Supports verification and validation studies for in-house and government developed codes
Supports code development activities in the group by developing requirements and test plans for software validation and verification
Compiles and evaluates test data, prepares technical reports, recommends methods and processes required to meet design objectives on new or improved products and/or processes
Applies new methods, algorithms, or processes, and evaluates and communicates conclusions
Supports development of intuitive and impactful data visualizations
Becomes a subject matter expert in computational methods, mathematics, physics, and/or modeling and simulation
Works on problems of diverse scope where analysis of information requires evaluation of identifiable factors. Devises solutions based on limited information and precedent and adapts existing approaches to resolve issues. Uses evaluation, judgment, and interpretation to select right course of action. Work is done independently and is reviewed at critical points.
