Job Description

and Requirements

Synopsys is seeking a scientific software specialist in atomic-scale simulations for the
QuantumATK atomic-scale simulation platform development team.
Our QuantumATK group is a team of world leading experts in atomic-scale simulations who are
developing the QuantumATK software.

Scientific Software Specialist in atomic-scale simulations:
Your role will be to implement and validate new methods and algorithms for atomic scale
simulations, such as molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and related techniques for both
conventional and machine-learned interatomic potentials and DFT simulations. You will also be
involved in preparing scientific case studies to be published in leading scientific journals and
providing tutorials for our end users.

The tasks require extensive experience with atomic-scale and materials modelling, high
performance computing, good communication skills, and programming experience. Experience
with coupling of atomic scale and TCAD simulations is a plus. Current team members have a
degree in theoretical physics, computer science or chemistry.

In your role, there will be a special focus on development of techniques for creating effective interatomic potentials using machine-learning for application in surface and interface processes.

We are looking for talented applicants with proven competences in the areas:

• Personal experience with atomic scale simulations and materials simulations, and ideally QuantumATK.
• Excellent general background in condensed matter physics and chemistry

Requirements:

• Excellent programming skills, in particular in Python and C++
• Good written and oral communication skills in English

The successful applicant

• Is an outstanding person with exceptional competences in programming or atomic-scale
• modelling
• Has a broad set of skills and is ready to apply them to whatever task assigned
• Is dedicated with focus on getting the job done without sacrificing quality
• Is a team player
