Research Engineer, Field Simulation
We offer opportunities to do your life’s work while helping solve one of the most important technical and moral challenges of our time.
Full-time, in-office in Emeryville, California. Compensation includes equity.
Build computer simulations that help us predict whether a compound that works in the lab will work in the field. The central question is practical: how will a compound affect an insect under real field conditions, and how much can we learn before running the trial? Work with our scientists to connect how compounds are released, move through the environment, and influence insect behavior, then test those predictions against experimental data.
Key Responsibilities
• Develop models that connect compound properties, formulation, release rates, and measured insect responses to field performance.
• Simulate the conditions that matter for each application, including wind, temperature, humidity, sunlight, rainfall, and vegetation, and their effects on chemical transport and persistence.
• Connect predicted exposure to insect movement, approach, landing, feeding, or egg laying using species-specific experimental evidence.
