What is computational modeling?

A Computational Modeling job involves developing and using mathematical models, simulations, and algorithms to analyze complex systems across various fields, such as engineering, physics, biology, and finance. Professionals in this role apply computational techniques to study real-world phenomena, predict outcomes, and optimize processes. They often work with programming languages, statistical methods, and high-performance computing to create accurate and efficient models.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in computational modeling?

To thrive in computational modeling, a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and domain-specific knowledge (such as engineering, physics, or biology) is essential, often supported by at least a bachelor's or master's degree in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages like Python, MATLAB, or R, as well as experience with simulation software and data analysis tools, is typically required. Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills set outstanding candidates apart. These abilities enable professionals to build accurate models, collaborate successfully with interdisciplinary teams, and translate complex results into actionable insights.

What does a computational modeler do?

A typical day for a computational modeling professional often involves developing and refining mathematical or computer-based models, running simulations, and analyzing large datasets to draw meaningful conclusions. You’ll collaborate closely with domain experts, engineers, and researchers to ensure models accurately reflect real-world processes. The role may also involve presenting findings to stakeholders, troubleshooting code or software issues, and keeping up with new modeling techniques and industry advancements. This dynamic environment requires balancing independent problem-solving with teamwork and communication.

Job description

Signature Research, Inc. has immediate openings for entry level and senior level Engineers on their team in Navarre, Florida.

Whether you're starting your engineering career or bringing years of advanced modeling experience, this is a chance to work on problems that are anything but ordinary.

These positions support advanced defense and national security projects involving physics-based signature prediction, with an emphasis on radar. You will use engineering, physics, computational modeling, programming, and real-world test data to help predict and understand how targets and backgrounds appear to radar, infrared sensors, and other detection systems.

WHAT WE OFFER.
  • Entry-Level/Junior (0-3 years of experience): $70,000 - $90,000 annual starting wage.
  • Senior Level (8 or more years of experience): $110,000 - $145,000 annual starting wage.
  • Comprehensive health and benefit package in which company pays all base plan health insurance premiums; buy-up options available.
  • Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan.
  • Paid vacation, sick time and holidays.
  • Full-time, Monday - Friday in-office position; remote work is not available.
WHAT YOU'LL DO.

You build and run computational models of targets and backgrounds, generate meshes from CAD geometry, run physics-based prediction tools, and compare model results against measured data. Depending on your experience, you work alongside senior technical experts or independently lead advanced modeling efforts. You also:

  • Generate and validate surface and volume meshes from CAD geometry.
  • Assess and improve mesh quality for accurate solver results.
  • Configure, run, and post-process radar, thermal, and infrared signature models.
  • Apply computational fluid dynamics to model flow, exhaust, plume effects, and aero-thermal heating.
  • Develop and modify MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ software to automate workflows and process signature data.
  • Use high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and GPUs to scale computational runs.
  • Support measurement campaigns, including calibration, data formatting, labeling, and analysis.
  • Compare predicted signatures against collected EO/IR and RF data.
  • Document findings in technical reports and signature data products.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field. A Master's degree is a plus.
  • Relevant experience via exposure to coursework, internship, or research, or hands-on experience with CAD, mesh generation, CAD-to-mesh workflows, computational modeling, or physics-based simulation.
  • Experience with MATLAB and/or Python; the ability to read and modify C/C++ is helpful and expected at the senior level.
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic, thermal, fluid, radar, or infrared modeling tools.
  • Entry-level candidates should be eager to learn and grow with guidance from experienced technical experts.
  • Senior candidates should be able to independently build, run, validate, improve, and document complex computational models using sound technical judgment.
  • U.S. citizenship is required, along with the ability to obtain (and maintain) a security clearance. Don't have clearance? No problem - we'll help you through the process.
  • A valid driver's license and ability to travel within the United States is required. Field test and evaluation activities at remote ranges throughout the U.S. may require travel for periods of up to two weeks or more, occasionally with extended hours supporting classified work.

Signature Research, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
