The ideal candidate is an expert in modeling, simulation and vibrations analysis of complex physical systems. The position includes a need to develop, test and validate various models against real world collected data. The candidate will leverage their expertise to transform theoretical approaches into real world functional systems that meet product requirements.
As we are a small startup the role will have a large amount of autonomy and the candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where requirements may shift and decisions need to be made with limited information.
This role is located onsite in our office in Waltham, MA.
