Responsibilities

• Design, implement, maintain, and test software modules for multiphase flow and transport simulation in porous media. 
• Conduct bug verification, release testing, and beta support for assigned products. 
• Optimize and scale simulation code using parallel programming frameworks (MPI, CUDA). 
• Integrate and maintain core simulation backend modules with user-facing GUIs. 
• Collaborate with domain scientists and engineers to design software architecture and drive agile development cycles. 

Qualifications

• BSc, MSc, or PhD degrees in Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Petroleum, or a related Engineering field with a focus on computational flow modeling, such as multiphase flow CFD simulations and reservoir-scale flow simulations.
• Experience in object-oriented programming and data-oriented design. 
• Development experience in modern C 23 and Python. 
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker, Singularity). 
• Experience with modern CI/CD practices (e.g., GitHub Actions or GitLab CI). 

The Ideal Candidate Would Have 

• A background in CFD in porous media. 
• Demonstrated expertise in high-performance computing (HPC). 
• Experience with pore-scale or reservoir-scale flow simulator development, customization, or automation of simulation workflows is highly desirable. 
• An understanding of computational graph theory and network analysis. 
• Programming experience in Python, C/C , Fortran, MATLAB, or similar languages for reservoir simulation, data processing, model calibration, or workflow automation. 
• Experience utilizing computational linear algebra libraries (e.g., BLAS, LAPACK, HYPRE). 
• Experience with large-scale flow models or physics-informed neural networks for multiphase flow modeling is a plus.
