High Performance Computing & Gridding Scientist (1345)

Research & Development - Boston, MA - Full Time

OVERVIEW:

Performs and directs major projects related to the development of meshing algorithms in reservoir simulation applications. Implements new and improves existing meshing algorithms in a full-field reservoir simulator. Performs testing and profiling studies of implemented algorithms on real field models to validate mesh quality and optimize performance. Maintains knowledge of the state-of-the-art in research and industry. Provides supports to colleagues and customers using developed features and works closely with team members to integrate support for developed algorithms in their work.

Develops and coordinates detailed studies to implement existing and/or novel meshing algorithms to accurately represent subsurface grids used in reservoir simulation. Participates in profiling and scaling studies to identify hotspots and optimize code performance on modern supercomputers. May perform as a consultant on reservoir engineering studies, technical problems, and projects involving current field operations.

This position is responsible to an appropriate level of supervision for the solution of complex engineering problems requiring a level of ability and experience beyond that normally available at the Engineer II level. Supervision is limited to consultation regarding the scope and intent of the study to be conducted. Assignments are to be completed with a minimum level of supervision; technical direction will be supplied by this level to additional engineers which may be temporarily assigned to the project due to magnitude and complexity. The results of all studies or recommendations are reviewed by the Supervising Engineer of the Unit/Group to which it is assigned.
