About this role

Functional Focus: High-Performance Computing, Numerical Methods, and Physics Simulation

  • Simulation Engine Development: Write high-performance C++ code for adaptive-step numerical integration of physical systems, handling multiple perturbation/force models.
  • Numerical Accuracy & Stability: Implement quaternion-based rotational dynamics and coordinate frame transformations, ensuring zero memory leaks when integrating third-party C/C++ scientific libraries.
  • Shared-Memory Optimization: Design cache-friendly memory structures and multi-threaded execution models that avoid race conditions and false sharing across compute cores.
  • Parallel Compute Strategy: Evaluate and implement intra-job CPU parallelism strategies — serial, shared-memory (e.g. OpenMP), or message-passing (e.g. MPI) —appropriate to workload scale.
  • State Estimation: Implement Kalman-filter-based state estimation that fuses multiple sensor measurements — prediction, innovation, Jacobian assembly, and correction.

Mandatory:

  • C++ (modern, 11/14/17+)
  • Adaptive-step ODE/numerical integration, linear algebra
  • Multi-threading (std::thread, thread pools), race-condition/false-sharing avoidance
  • Manual memory management, leak-free integration with third-party C/C++ libraries
  • Quaternion/rotation math, coordinate frame transforms
  • CMake, unit testing (GoogleTest or similar)
  • Python (for tooling/scripting/testing)
  • Kalman/Bayesian filtering theory
  • Attitude/rigid-body dynamics background
  • Astrodynamics / orbital mechanics fundamentals
  • TLE (Two-Line Element) format familiarity

Optional:

  • OpenMP, MPI/OpenMPI
  • Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, profilers (perf, VTune)
  • CI pipelines for C++, cross-platform builds
