As of Jul 10, 2026, the average yearly pay for part time computational engineering in the United States is $121,515.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $111,500.00 and $131,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Part Time Computational Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Computational Engineer, a solid background in mathematics, computer science, and engineering principles, often supported by a relevant degree, is essential. Familiarity with programming languages like Python or MATLAB, simulation tools, and experience with computational modeling software are typically required. Strong analytical thinking, effective time management, and clear communication enable one to excel in collaborative and deadline-driven environments. These skills ensure accurate modeling, efficient problem-solving, and successful project contributions within limited working hours.

What is a part time computational engineering job?

A part time computational engineering job involves using computer-based methods and mathematical models to solve engineering problems, but with a flexible or reduced work schedule. Part time computational engineers may work on tasks such as simulations, data analysis, or software development for engineering applications. This type of position is ideal for students, professionals seeking work-life balance, or those looking to gain experience while pursuing other commitments. The role typically requires strong programming skills, proficiency in mathematical modeling, and familiarity with engineering principles. Hours and responsibilities can vary depending on the employer's needs.

What is the difference between Part Time Computational Engineering vs Part Time Software Developer?

AspectPart Time Computational EngineeringPart Time Software Developer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; knowledge of programming and simulation toolsBachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related; proficiency in programming languages
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, engineering firms, or academic settings; project-based tasksTech companies, startups, or freelance; coding and application development
Employer & Industry UsageEngineering firms, research institutions, manufacturingSoftware companies, tech startups, freelance platforms

While both roles involve programming and technical skills, Part Time Computational Engineering focuses on applying engineering principles to simulations and modeling, often within research or industrial contexts. In contrast, Part Time Software Developers primarily create, test, and maintain software applications. The credentials overlap in programming knowledge, but the focus and work environment differ significantly.

What are some typical projects or tasks assigned to part-time computational engineers, and how do they collaborate with full-time team members?

Part-time computational engineers are often tasked with supporting simulation runs, developing or optimizing algorithms, and analyzing data sets under the guidance of senior engineers. They frequently work on well-defined modules within larger projects, providing flexibility for both the team and the individual. Collaboration with full-time team members typically occurs through regular meetings, code reviews, and shared documentation platforms, ensuring alignment and integration of work. This structure allows part-time engineers to make meaningful contributions while managing their schedules, and also offers valuable exposure to industry-standard workflows and tools.

Location
Tucson Campus
Address
Tucson, AZ USA
Position Highlights
Interested in advancing computational modeling and plasma research for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing? This opportunity offers the chance to work on innovative simulation and algorithm development by performing numerical simulations using the in-house developed CFDWARP (Computational Fluid Dynamics, Waves, Reactions, Plasmas) code, enhancing computational efficiency, implementing new algorithms, improving chemical reaction models, and validating simulation results through comparison with experimental data.
Join a department where exceptional research facilities, hands-on innovation, and strong industry partnerships create opportunities to make a lasting impact. From state-of-the-art laboratories to a culture that supports turning discoveries into real-world solutions, you'll be part of an environment dedicated to advancing engineering research and innovation.
This is an Extended Temporary Employment (ETE) position.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
Outstanding U of A benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; U of A/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; retirement plans; access to U of A recreation and cultural activities; and more!
The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please click here.
Duties & Responsibilities
  • Gather the outflow boundary condition properties of CFDWARP and write a data file that can be read by FLUENT.
  • Implement an algorithm in FLUENT to read the data file from CFDWARP and copy data on its inflow boundary.
  • Develop a chemical solver for Argon plasmas.
  • Set-up the domain and boundary conditions as described by Boeuf and Pitchford.
  • Compare CFDWARP results to experimental results by Boeuf and Pitchford.
  • Verify validity of every reaction rate within CFDWARP.
  • Review the code to isolate areas that are not efficient and recommend solutions to the existing algorithms within CFDWARP without changing their function.
  • Use Linex workstations and 640 core cluster to run our CFDWARP code to obtain data.
  • Analyze the data using the post processing software TECPLOT.

This job posting reflects the general nature and level of work expected of the selected candidate(s). It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties and responsibilities.
