Junior Physical Scientist
Location: Tucson, AZ (Onsite Position)
Travel: Occasional travel to worksites
Compensation: $85K or greater, DOE
JUNIOR PHYSICAL SCIENTIST
Our Client is developing a subsurface imaging radar system to enable exploration for resources, whether mineral or groundwater. They make the underground world visible, combining analytic modeling and numerical simulations with their own radar technology for detecting subsurface features. To build the estimation ability they utilize scientific literature and are building a lab to measure electromagnetic properties of geologic materials. We are hiring for a Junior Physical Scientist to assist the Science Team with running simulations, data analysis, and building our material measurements capabilities.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Assist in writing and running codes developed by the science team for simulation and data analyses of radar data.
- Reviewing scientific literature on electromagnetic properties of geological materials and other adjacent topics related to ground penetrating radar technology.
- Developing geological material (e.g. rock core samples) measurement capabilities in house, including lab setup and developing code for calculation of properties.
- Occasional field work at sites in the Southwestern US.
- Other tasks that fit within the scope of science and engineering based on the experience of the candidate.
- Other responsibilities and tasks to be determined, as identified. Our Client encourages taking on tasks beyond the responsibilities listed here.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree and 0-2 years of experience or Master's degree in geology, physics, or closely related field, including coursework in advanced mathematics (statistics, calculus).
- Ability to read, digest, and summarize scientific literature to science and engineering teams.
- Experience in a scientific programming language (E.g., /MATLAB, Python including NumPy/ SciPy/Pandas, Julia) for simulation or data analysis purposes.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Knowledge of electromagnetic properties of materials (e.g., through research or course work).
- Familiarity with electronic test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, power supplies, vector network analyzers).
LOCATION:
Client is based in Tucson, AZ in the Catalina Foothills, while the science team is remote. As this position involves developing and using lab facilities, the employee must be in or near Tucson, AZ and able to commute to the office Mon-Fri.
BENEFITS/PERKS:
In addition to an opportunity to take part in a forward-looking company, leading innovation and ingenuity, our client also believes in in taking care of their employees.
