Karagozian & Case, Inc. 700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203 | 818-240-1919 | www.kcse.com Senior Engineer / Scientist – Developing Multiphysics Modeling and Simulation Tools About Karagozian and Case, Inc. (K&C) K&C is an internationally recognized science and engineering consulting firm founded in 1945 with a focus on creating custom engineered solutions for extreme environments. K&C’s mission is to engineer specialized solutions and products for the defense, space, energy, security, construction, and manufacturing industries. K&C’s rapidly growing practice areas include: 1) applied research and testing, 2) modeling, simulation, and analysis, 3) product and software development, 4) protective design engineering, and 5) threat vulnerability assessments. Career Opportunity K&C is seeking an experienced senior engineer / scientist for its modeling and simulation group. The ideal candidate has an advanced degree in a relevant field and has since demonstrated achievements in developing multi-physics modeling and simulation tools for solid and fluid mechanics, has a strong background in numerical methods, is an experienced developer and user of high-performance computational codes, and is interested in developing simulation codes for a wide range of multi-physics problems. The selected candidate will join a dynamic team of talented engineers, physicists, computer scientists, and experimentalists to solve challenging problems involving extreme environments, including blast, impact, shock, and fluid-structure interaction. Job Duties Develop and implement numerical methods for coupled fluid-solid problems that involve high speed flows, high deformation solid mechanics, impact, shock, fracture and fragmentation, heat transfer, and combustion. Deploy these methods in simulation codes to support projects that range in duration from a week to multiple years, depending on their scope. Report results in documents, reports, and briefings. Present results of computations to customers, at conferences, and at in-house seminars. Prepare technical input for proposals related to novel numerical methods and algorithms. Mentor and advise peers. Candidate Requirements Ph.D., or a minimum M.S. with 5+ years in R&D, in a directly relevant Engineering or Physical Science discipline. Coursework in continuum mechanics (fluid and solid), the finite element method, and finite- volume method for CFD. A minor, or at least coursework, in applied math, physics and astrophysics, or computer science is preferred. Experience modeling fracture and fragmentation, and combustion a plus. Demonstrated programming skills in Fortran 90 and/or C++ is required. Experience in both Linux and Windows operating systems and high-performance computing infrastructure. Knowledge of finite element as well as fully compressible CFD methods including meshfree approaches. Publications demonstrating development and use of novel computational methods for materials and structures. U.S. Citizenship is required. Ability to attain security clearance. Interested candidates should send a resume and cover letter to [email protected].
