With our ingenuity, drive, and deep curiosity we discover new insights, innovations, and solutions that efficiently and responsibly resolve complex natural resource, digital, energy transition, and infrastructure challenges.

Responsibilities

As part of Viridien’s Subsurface Imaging team, your primary responsibility as a Research Geophysicist will be to develop new, innovative solutions to problems plaguing the seismic industry. You will use knowledge of signal processing, wave propagation, and numerical optimization to develop and test high‑end algorithms, sequences, or programs with predefined geophysical or engineering content. You will participate in the validation of your contributions by analyzing and evaluating processing and imaging results on synthetic and field data. You may work independently or as part of a team, but always in close collaboration with Seismic Imagers, remaining in‑tune with production demands and industry trends. You will also work closely with Software Engineers on the development, deployment, and improvement of high‑performance computing applications on GPU and CPU architectures based on new imaging techniques and technological advances. You may be asked to present your work and results to colleagues and clients, as well as externally at conferences and workshops, and to prepare technical articles for industry proceedings and journals. Current U.S. work authorization is required.

Qualifications

Required Education & Experience: Ph.D. or Master’s in Geophysics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or other related technical discipline. Capable of abstracting geophysical concepts with mathematical languages. Excellent coding skills with one or more programming languages, such as C/C++, CUDA, FORTRAN, Python, or OPENCL. Innovative mindset. Exceptional analytical and problem‑solving skills. Highly motivated and eager to learn. Strong communication and organizational skills.

Preferred:

  • Knowledge of geophysical concepts and seismic imaging/inversion.
  • Experience with finite difference and wave propagation.
  • Knowledge of high‑performance computing (MPI, multi‑threading, GPU, etc.).
  • Experience with cross‑platform development.
  • Experience with designing and implementing algorithms.
Perks and Benefits

Relocation bonus to offset moving costs to Houston. $10,000 signing bonus. Performance‑based monthly bonus averaging 10–15% at entry level, contingent on financial and individual performance. Three weeks vacation, three personal days, and eight sick days. Hybrid and flexible work schedule. 401(k) match program (contribute up to 5% and we’ll match up to 7%). Medical, dental, vision, supplemental benefits available. Wellness program and state‑of‑the‑art fitness center.

Viridien values diversity and is committed to equal employment opportunities for all professionals.
