What is a computational software engineer?

A Computational Software Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and maintains software applications that solve computational problems, often in scientific, engineering, or research contexts. They specialize in creating algorithms and software tools that can process large, complex datasets or perform advanced simulations. These engineers often work with high-performance computing systems, numerical methods, and programming languages such as Python, C++, or Fortran. Their role bridges the gap between domain experts (like scientists or engineers) and software development, ensuring that software solutions meet both technical and scientific requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a computational software engineer?

To thrive as a Computational Software Engineer, you need a strong background in computer science, mathematics, and algorithm development, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with programming languages like Python, C++, or MATLAB, and experience with simulation tools and high-performance computing environments are typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are crucial for creating efficient, reliable software solutions that address complex computational challenges and support scientific or engineering objectives.

How do computational software engineers typically collaborate with domain experts during project development?

Computational Software Engineers frequently work alongside scientists, mathematicians, and other domain experts to translate complex theoretical concepts into efficient code. This collaboration often involves regular meetings to clarify requirements, validate models, and ensure the software accurately represents the underlying scientific or engineering principles. Open communication and iterative feedback are key to successfully integrating domain knowledge with robust software solutions, making teamwork an essential part of the role.

Job 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 trustedenergy-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 aSenior Computational Engineerto join ourPower & Energy Transitionteam. 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.
