Research Engineer in computational wave propagation - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

We are looking for a research engineer who will work on finite-element simulation of acoustic wave propagation in complex material system. The project involves 3D weak-form formulation of partial differential equations governing both acoustics and electromagnetics. The objective is to develop a computer program to calculate reflection and transmission coefficients of a waveguide system consisting of one or more resonators. The work is carried out together with the supervisor.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and get settled in Sweden and at KTH.
