What is a computational software developer?

A Computational Software Developer is a professional who designs, develops, and maintains software systems that perform complex mathematical, scientific, or engineering computations. They often work in fields such as scientific research, engineering, finance, and data analysis, creating tools that simulate processes, analyze data, or solve computational problems. These developers typically possess strong programming skills in languages like Python, C++, or MATLAB, and have a solid understanding of algorithms, mathematics, and domain-specific knowledge relevant to their projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a computational software developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Computational Software Developer, you need strong programming skills (often in languages like Python, C++, or Java), a solid understanding of algorithms, and typically a degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related field. Familiarity with computational libraries (such as NumPy, SciPy, or TensorFlow), version control systems like Git, and experience with high-performance or parallel computing are commonly required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are vital soft skills for excelling in this role. These skills and qualities enable developers to create robust, efficient computational solutions and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

What are some common challenges faced by computational software developers, and how can they be addressed?

Computational Software Developers often encounter challenges such as optimizing code for high-performance computing, ensuring numerical accuracy, and integrating complex algorithms with existing systems. These challenges can be addressed by staying up-to-date with the latest computational techniques, collaborating closely with domain experts, and utilizing profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks. Regular code reviews and testing are also essential to maintain reliability and foster knowledge sharing within multidisciplinary teams.

Job description

Description
Senior Computational Software Engineer
Why YOU want this position
At Enverus, we're committed to empowering the global quality of life by helping our customers make energy affordable and accessible to the world.
We are the most trusted energy-dedicated SaaS company, with a platform built to maximize value from generative AI, and our innovative solutions are reshaping the way energy is consumed and managed. By offering anytime, anywhere access to analytics and insights, we're helping our customers make better decisions that help provide communities around the world with clean, affordable energy.
The energy industry is changing fast. But we've continued to lead the way in energy technology, creating intelligent connections across the entire energy ecosystem, from renewables, power and utilities, to oil and gas and financial institutions. Our solutions create more efficient production and distribution, capital allocation, renewable energy development, investment and sourcing, and help reduce costs by automating crucial business operations. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without our people, which is why we have built a team of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Are you ready to help power the global quality of life? Join Enverus, and be a part of creating a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
We are currently seeking a Senior Computational Engineer to join our Power & Energy Transition team. This role offers the opportunity to join a rapidly growing company delivering industry-leading solutions to customers in the world's most dynamic and fastest-growing sector.
We deliver software solutions to electric grid operators, utilities, and renewable energy project developers to tackle the "interconnection bottleneck," the process by which large-scale solar, wind, and battery projects connect to the power grid. To date, nearly 300 billion watts' worth of renewable energy projects have been modeled in our software to expedite their interconnection to the grid - equivalent to nearly 700 million solar panels, 30 billion LEDs, or 390 million horses! If you are interested in solving the most pressing challenges of the world's most critical infrastructure, we'd love to hear from you!
Performance Objectives
We are looking for a motivated software engineer who is comfortable with delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced environment. We're building powerful cloud software to help make it faster, easier, and cheaper for renewable energy projects to be deployed on the electric grid. You will play a key role in building out these applications, with tasks such as:
  • Translating traditionally manual grid study processes into well-structured, performant code;
  • Maintaining and enhancing our SaaS application to meet the needs of current and future customers;
  • Deploying and testing large-scale parallel-compute code on cloud-based infrastructure;
  • Working with other members of the team to define product requirements, develop tests, and validate results.
  • Your work will help project developers deploy more (and better) zero-carbon generation projects on the grid!

Competitive Candidate Profile
  • Results-oriented individual, looking to learn and grow, and make a positive impact
  • Proficiency in Python; knowledge of C++ is a plus
  • Experience in developing and shipping high-performance numerical products/backends, utilizing computational parallelization frameworks
  • Skills in algorithms and data structures to efficiently solve complex numerical optimization problems
  • Experience in deploying/maintaining/debugging software on a cloud environment such as AWS is a plus, especially utilizing tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS SQS/SNS, etc.
  • Knowledge of power systems and power systems simulation is a plus
  • Knowledge of numerical methods for simulation and/or optimization is a plus
  • Knowledge of electronic design automation tools and methods is a plus
  • BS/MS/PhD in EE/CE/ECE/CS is preferred, with 4+ years of experience developing and deploying applications.

Physical Demands
  • Ability to sit for long periods, work on a computer with repetitive motions and utilize devices typically found in an office environment.
  • Able to safely lift up to 35 pounds at a time using safe lifting techniques.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with another person.
  • Regular and predictable attendance is required.
  • Ability to work in an office environment as required.
  • Travel requirements - up to 10% or as required for company needs.

Enverus offers comprehensive benefits to our employees to include:
  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Income Protection (disability, life/AD&D, critical illness, accident)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Healthcare Spending Account (HSA), Commuter
  • Lifestyle & Wellbeing Program
  • Pet Insurance
