  • C
  • PyTorch
  • Geostatistics
  • 3D Mathematics
  • CUDA/OpenMP
  • AI-assisted coding

Short Overview

  • Scientific Software Engineer or Computational Scientist with a niche background in scientific simulation, procedural generation, or computational physics.
  • This is an implementation-heavy role requiring a developer who can translate complex mathematical logic and generative ML models into performant code to solve high-dimensional geometric problems.

Simulation & Generative Modeling

Seeking a deep expertise in scientific computing, procedural generation, or computational physics to build the core algorithms for our 3D subsurface modeling engine.

The Role

This is an implementation-heavy position bridging procedural physics and generative ML.

Core Competencies

What We're Looking For:

  • Procedural Generation: Terrain synthesis, voxel engines, noise-driven systems
  • Scientific Computing: CFD, FEA, multi-physics solvers
  • Computational Geometry: 3D mesh processing, volumetric data structures, spatial partitioning

Key Responsibilities

  • Algorithmic Implementation — Design memory-efficient algorithms for massive 3D voxel arrays and sparse data structures; implement deterministic and stochastic geometric rules
    • Example: Build C /Python kernels using 3D Perlin/Simplex noise and vector fields to simulate braided river systems
    • Example: Implement Boolean CSG algorithms for volumetric injections of igneous bodies
  • Generative ML Engineering — Architect and train models (GANs, Diffusion) for high-resolution 3D spatial data using PyTorch
    • Example: Generate realistic fracture networks via 3D generative models
    • Example: Apply neural style transfer to map sedimentary textures onto volumetric frameworks
Required Technical Skills

  • Languages: Expert Python (NumPy/SciPy/CuPy); proficient C for performance kernels
  • Mathematics: Linear algebra, vector calculus, coordinate transformations
  • ML Frameworks: PyTorch (generative AI, computer vision)
  • Performance: CUDA/OpenMP; parallel computing experience
  • Workflow: AI-assisted coding for rapid prototyping and testing

Domain Knowledge

Mathematical maturity in:

  • Structural modeling
  • Sedimentology
  • Tectonics
  • Geostatistics

Ideal Background

  • MS/PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Physics, or equivalent
  • Portfolio/GitHub demonstrating procedural world-building, physics engines, or scientific simulators
