What are the responsibilities and job description for the ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - Computational Materials position at SWRI?
Join our team to perform fundamental and applied research through the development of advanced fatigue crack growth lifting methods for material and structural integrity assessments.
Become an expert with a legacy software codebase and the technical solutions adopted to solve problems related to practical fatigue crack growth, fracture, and structural integrity assessments.
Work with a large team and a managed software operations framework to write source code, integrate it, compile it, test it, and debug it as needed to support long-term, commercial software programs.
Apply principles in advanced continuum mechanics, materials science, uncertainty quantification, and applied mathematics to solve unique problems.
Learn business development skills to support contract research programs and assist developing new technology areas.
Interact with government and commercial clients as needed.
Extend and maintain the fatigue crack growth software programs : NASGRO® and DARWIN®.
Ensure accuracy, precision, and consistency of predictions implemented within high-criticality commercial software.
Develop new user-friendly and practical methods to perform damage tolerance assessments.
Accelerate methods by reducing the memory footprint, reducing computational costs, or invoking parallelism.
Troubleshoot user issues in a timely matter by fixing bugs and generating reports.
Interact with a larger development team to coordinate issue resolution within a large, interconnected, and legacy codebase.
Write reports and manuals to document results and to provide guidance for software use.
Communicate effectively with colleagues, collaborators, and customers.
Prepare proposals, reports, and technical papers.
Manage tasks and projects to completion within scope, budget, and schedule constraints within a team environment.
Requires a Masters or a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Structural Engineering, or similar engineering degree.
0-3 years : Experience or training in fracture mechanics, fatigue crack growth assessment, continuum mechanics, mechanical behavior of engineering metals, materials science, applied mechanics, and applied mathematics.
0-3 years : Experience or training in software development, scientific computing, programming (prefer modern Fortran), algorithmic optimization, software verification, and computer science.
0-3 years : Experience in stress-intensity factor solutions, weight function methods, fatigue crack growth algorithms, time-dependent crack growth, small-crack growth mechanisms, threshold, shakedown, rain flow, environmental fatigue, and multi-point computational fracture mechanics.
0-3 years : Experience with customer issue resolution, legacy code support, application programming interfaces, automation, and using AI / ML tools to streamline software development, sustainment, documentation, and verification.
