We are looking for Scientific Computing Expert — Physical Sciences - $300/Approved Task candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Design multi-step terminal tasks based on realistic physical-science workflows, developing self-contained computational environments with pinned dependencies and scientific software.
- Create input datasets, molecular structures, simulation parameters, experimental data, or model configurations.
- Implement expert solutions using Python, Bash, C/C++, Julia, or domain-specific tools, covering simulations, numerical modeling, data fitting, optimization, spectroscopy, molecular analysis, or scientific visualization.
- Develop automated tests for numerical accuracy, physical consistency, convergence, and output structure, defining appropriate numerical tolerances, units, boundary conditions, and expected scientific behavior.
- Validate that tasks are reproducible and execute successfully without runtime downloads, and debug issues involving dependencies, precision, solver stability, performance, and file formats.
What you need
- Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced technical experience in a relevant physical-science discipline.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, Julia, Bash, or another scientific programming language.
- Experience working in Linux or terminal-based environments.
- Experience with numerical methods, scientific modeling, simulations, or quantitative data analysis.
- Ability to create and validate computational scientific workflows independently.
