About Houston
ExxonMobil's state-of-the-art campus north of Houston serves as home to its Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses and their associated service groups. The facility opened in 2014 and accommodates more than 10,000 employees and visitors.
By bringing many global functional groups together, the campus provides employees with the tools and capabilities needed today, and in the future, to achieve business objectives and accelerate the discovery of new resources, technologies and products. It was designed to foster improved collaboration, creativity and innovation and enhance the company's ability to attract, develop and retain the top talent in the industry.
The campus is located in Spring, Texas, on 385 wooded acres immediately to the west of Interstate Highway 45 (I-45), at the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, approximately 25 miles from the cultural vibrancy of downtown Houston.
The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world's top academic, research, and corporate facilities.

What role you will play in our team
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Computational Scientist to join our team. This role involves developing and analyzing both physics-based and data-driven computational models to tackle a range of problems in the oil and gas industry.
What you will do

• Work collaboratively across global, cross-disciplinary teams, and with third parties (academia, industry) to assess, accelerate pace of computational science technology development and deployment.
• Frame computational challenge from business needs, develop solutions that strike a balance between accuracy and runtimes, develop solutions that merge physics and data incorporating uncertainty, develop novel approaches to constrain predictive models with field data.

Skills & Qualifications

• PhD from a recognized university in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Geoscience, Computational Science, or a closely related field.
• Experience in developing, applying, and analyzing physics-based models and developing related algorithms.
• Strong background in multiscale and/or multiphysics mathematical modeling, scientific computing, and numerical analysis.
• Hands-on experience with deep learning, including familiarity with a range of architectures (e.g., autoencoder, transformer, diffusion model, GAN) and their application to industrial, engineering, or scientific problems.
• Experience in surrogate modeling approaches (e.g., deep learning, machine learning, physics-informed machine learning, reduced-order modeling, multi-fidelity methods, etc.) to reduce computational cost in decision-making processes (e.g., optimization, inverse problems, data assimilation) while maintaining fit-for-purpose accuracy.
• Experience in formulating and solving convex and PDE constrained optimization problems.
• Strong proficiency in programming/scripting languages like Python or C++/C#.
• Proficiency in ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn); experience with Databricks/Spark is a plus.
• Experience with software engineering best practices including software testing, agile development, version control, and DevOps.
• Experience working in Linux and High-Performance Computing environment is desirable but not required.
• Prior experience in the upstream oil and gas industry is an advantage.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams to translate complex computational models into actionable insights.
