Computational Scientist, Structural & Thermal
About Periodic Labs
Periodic Labs is an AI and physical sciences company building state-of-the-art models to accelerate breakthroughs across materials, energy, semiconductors, and beyond. Backed by world-class investors and growing rapidly, we operate at the pace the frontier requires. Our team brings deep expertise, genuine ownership, and an insatiable drive to push the boundaries of what’s scientifically possible.
About the Role
Periodic Labs is building AI systems that can simulate physical science, verify predictions, and train on the full scientific method. We are looking for a Computational Scientist to develop structural, thermal, and coupled thermo-mechanical simulation capabilities for semiconductor systems and advanced materials.
This role is for someone who thinks of themselves as both a scientist and a software engineer. You understand solid mechanics and heat transfer at a level that goes beyond configuring a commercial FEA package, and you are comfortable building, extending, or automating solvers when the physics or scale of the problem requires it.
What You'll Do
Develop agent-based structural and thermal simulation capabilities for semiconductor systems, including wafer stress and warpage, thin-film residual stress, thermo
