What is the difference between Day Shift Computational Materials Science vs Day Shift Materials Engineer?

AspectDay Shift Computational Materials ScienceDay Shift Materials Engineer
Required CredentialsTypically requires a PhD or Master's in Materials Science, Physics, or related fieldBachelor's or Master's in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, simulation centers, computer-based workManufacturing facilities, R&D labs, on-site testing
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, tech companies, aerospace, automotive

Day Shift Computational Materials Science focuses on computer-based simulations and modeling to understand material properties, often requiring advanced degrees. In contrast, Day Shift Materials Engineers work directly with materials in manufacturing or testing environments, typically with a bachelor's or master's degree. Both roles are essential in materials development but differ in work setting and daily tasks.

Job description

Discovery 2 Scale is building the Autonomous Foundry for Advanced Materials—an end-to-end platform connecting materials design, autonomous experimentation, qualification, and scale-up to deliver production-ready materials faster and with less risk.

We are looking for a highly skilled computational materials scientist with strong CALPHAD and Thermo-Calc experience to help build the thermodynamic intelligence behind our platform.

What you’ll do
  • Develop CALPHAD and Thermo-Calc workflows for alloy design and high-throughput screening.
  • Model phase stability, solidification, segregation, and phase transformations.
  • Perform Scheil and kinetic simulations to evaluate manufacturability and processing windows.
  • Develop models for weldability, heat-affected-zone behavior, and thick-section producibility.
  • Build automated Python and Thermo-Calc pipelines for large composition and processing spaces.
  • Integrate thermodynamic predictions with AI/ML models and experimental data to guide alloy design.
Required qualifications
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Computational Materials Science, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with Thermo-Calc and CALPHAD.
  • Experience modeling multicomponent metallic alloy systems.
  • Experience with equilibrium phase and Scheil solidification calculations.
  • Strong understanding of physical metallurgy, thermodynamics, solidification, and phase transformations.
  • Experience with scientific programming or workflow automation using Python or similar tools.
  • Ability to connect computational predictions with real materials processing and experimental observations, and work independently in a fast-paced startup environment.
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience with TC-Python, DICTRA, TC-PRISMA, or related thermodynamic and kinetic modeling tools.
  • Experience with steels, nickel-based alloys, titanium or refractory alloys, or multi-principal-element alloys.
  • Experience with welding metallurgy, HAZ transformations, solidification, segregation, or casting.
  • Experience integrating CALPHAD predictions with SEM, EDS, EBSD, or other experimental data.
  • Experience combining CALPHAD with machine learning, materials informatics, or high-throughput alloy design.
Why join D2S?
  • Build cutting-edge autonomous materials discovery technology.
  • Work alongside world-class scientists and engineers.
  • High level of ownership and technical freedom.
  • Opportunity to help build a company from the ground up.
  • Competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and a 401(k) with company match.
