Senior Applied Research Scientist – Computational Geometry and Meshing
About this role
Advance computational geometry, meshing, and AI-native algorithms for NVIDIA GPU platforms. Build methods that move design data reliably from CAD to simulation across CAE, EDA, semiconductor, and scientific-computing workflows.
Must have
PhD or equivalent experience in computer science, computational geometry, scientific computing, graphics, applied mathematics, computational mechanics, engineering, or related field
5+ years of experience in computational engineering
Background in computational geometry, geometry processing, mesh generation, adaptive discretization, CAD and CAE algorithms, or simulation-ready representations
C++ and Python skills with experience building algorithms for sophisticated geometry
Understanding of boundary representations, topology, mesh quality, discretization error, numerical robustness, and solver requirements
Technologies
Responsibilities
Build algorithms for computational geometry, CAE and design interoperability, mesh generation, mesh adaptation, spatial data structures, and curved discretization
