## Description

**Location:** Mooresville, NC (In-Office at Lake Norman Campus)

**Target Compensation:** $85,000 – $135,000 OTE *(On-Target Earnings = Base Salary + Quarterly Technical Comp + Annual Bonus)*

**Work Authorization:** U.S. Persons Only

Corvid HPC is seeking an HPC/CAE Applications Engineer passionate about computational physics, simulation workflows, and HPC. Instead of being confined to narrow component analysis or single-solver loops, this role opens the door to a varied, rewarding, and lucrative career path. Sitting at the intersection of bare-metal supercomputing and advanced simulation, you will apply your computational background to solve diverse engineering challenges alongside the world's most innovative companies.

**What You Will Do**

- **HPC Execution & Troubleshooting:** Diagnose and resolve runtime solver errors, custom scripting bottlenecks, GUI/remote desktop integration issues, and job scheduling hurdles across high-core-count clusters.
- **Client Workflow Enablement & Customer Onboarding:** Partner with client engineering teams across industries to onboard CAE models, optimize hardware selection, and streamline large-scale simulation execution.
- **Workflow Automation:** Build and maintain custom Python and Bash scripts to automate parametric sweeps, optimization loops, and multi-physics simulation pipelines.
- **Customer Benchmarks & Scaling Studies:** Execute technical benchmarks and scaling studies to demonstrate speedups to prospective/current clients and evaluate new server hardware architectures.

*What This Role IS NOT:* This is not a traditional design or analysis position. While you work with complex models daily, owning component designs or running routine single-part loops isn't a day-to-day responsibility. Your focus is solving HPC-level execution, scaling, and automation challenges.

**Requirements**

- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Physics, or a related STEM field.
- Academic focus or upper-level coursework in computational physics or continuum mechanics disciplines (e.g., fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, heat transfer, solid mechanics, or finite element methods).
- Hands-on CAE experience (CFD or FEA) gained through Professional roles, Internships, Senior Design / Capstone projects, collegiate engineering teams (e.g., Formula SAE, Baja SAE) or other.
- Basic coding/scripting experience (Python or Bash) and/or familiarity with command-line Linux environments.
- Must be a U.S. Person.

**Preferred Skills**

- M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering or related STEM field.
- 3 to 5 years of relevant engineering or computational simulation experience.
- Proven team leadership and sustained commitment in collective group environments (e.g., athletic team captain, marching band / performing arts leadership, ROTC, volunteer fire/EMS, FSAE/Baja sub-team lead, student organization executive, Eagle Scout / Gold Award, or community service leadership).
- Demonstrated experience working with multiple commercial or open-source solvers (e.g., Ansys Fluent/Mechanical, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, STAR-CCM+, NASTRAN, OpenFOAM, or specialized hydrocodes).
- Prior experience submitting, monitoring, or managing jobs through HPC schedulers (e.g., Slurm, PBS, LSF).
- Broad IT & Systems Savvy: General literacy across Windows, Linux administration concepts, and basic networking fundamentals-a strong technical curiosity that bridges the gap between pure engineering and IT infrastructure.
- Demonstrated experience building or compiling computational software packages in a Linux/HPC environment (e.g., compiling open-source solvers, custom solver extensions, C/Fortran user-defined functions, CMake/Makefiles).
- Exposure to web or database development tools (e.g., Python web frameworks, REST APIs, SQL, Streamlit/Dash, Open OnDemand).
- Curiosity or experience with next-generation computational workflows, surrogate modeling, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), or AI-assisted physics tools.

**About Corvid HPC**

Corvid HPC is an aggressive-growth startup forked from 20+ year defense innovator Corvid Technologies. Expanding from 1 to nearly 200 customers since 2021, we combine high-growth tech momentum with established defense stability. We provide secure, bare-metal supercomputing purpose-built for computational physics. Rather than just handing off compute, we work directly alongside client engineering teams to optimize, troubleshoot, and scale their most demanding workflows.

**Why Corvid HPC**

- **Vast Exposure & Accelerated Growth:** Don't get locked into a pigeon-holed role for the next decade. Beyond day-to-day functions, the greatest value of this role is technical breadth-tackling varied simulation and workflow challenges across hypersonics, defense, medical devices, and advanced manufacturing.
- **High-Accountability Team Culture:** Work on-site at our Lake Norman campus in Mooresville, NC alongside a close-knit team that operates with a low-overhead, team-sports mentality-offering high autonomy to engineers who take ownership and pride in their deliverables. While based in-office to foster team cohesion and rapid development, remote and hybrid flexibility will become available over time for top-performing individual contributors.
- **Collaborative Technical Ecosystem:** Work alongside and learn from the best in the industry. In an integrated campus environment, you will collaborate with Corvid Technologies' developers, analysis teams executing high-stakes DoD programs, and Linux/HPC infrastructure administrators.
- **Flexible Growth Pathways (Examples of How You Can Evolve):**

- *Computational Mastery Track:* Focus on honing deep technical expertise in solver tuning, custom tool compilation, advanced cluster automation, and surrogate physics modeling.
- *Commercial Track:* Build commercial business acumen by working alongside Corvid HPC leadership, mastering technical client enablement, discovery, and GTM(sales) strategy.

**How to Apply**

When submitting your application, **please highlight your hands-on CAE project experience (Senior Design, FSAE, Baja, internships, current/past industry work) and any team leadership roles** directly on your resume or application note.
