Software Engineer Fortran

Job description

TASS International is currently seeking a candidate for:

Software Engineer Fortran

MADYMO is a mature and wide-spread simulation platform for virtual development and validation of restraint systems. MADYMO offers fast and accurate simulation of the behavior of dummy models as well as human models during a vehicle crash. A new trend within the automotive community is to also use MADYMO during the pre-crash phases, typically in the 2-3 seconds interval just before a crash when the vehicle tries to prevent or mitigate a crash by braking or steering. This poses new requirements on the Multi-Body, Finite-Elements and Airbag solvers within MADYMO. To strengthen our team in optimizing MADYMO for virtual development and validation of the next generation safety systems, TASS International has an immediate opening for a Software Engineer with solid modern Fortran skills . The main role will be to develop scientific software for the next-generation MADYMO solvers, using state of the art numerical methods and computational techniques, in close cooperation with the entire MADYMO team.

Required Background & Education :

· Education level: PhD or MSc in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering or Applied Mathematics, with strong focus in numerical methods for ODE and PDE.
· Thorough knowledge of numerical analysis and its application. Finite Element Methods, and modern time advancing schemes are highly desirable.
· Thorough knowledge of shared and distributed memory processing techniques. Knowledge of modern OpenMP and MPI is required.
· Good command of Object Oriented (OO) software design and implementation using Fortran 2008. Knowledge of C++ is a plus.
· Good knowledge of algorithms and data-structures, in scientific software context, and their practical implementation.
· Comfortable with Linux environment.
· Knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a plus.
· Continuous Integration using Jenkins and Version Control tools, such as Subversion, is desirable but not mandatory.
· Knowledge and control of UML for architecture and design purposes is a plus.
· Working experience with the Atlassian toolsuite (e.g. Jira Agile, …) is a plus.

Personality:

· Analytical
· Likes to pick up new challenges
· Team player
· Pragmatic
· Inventive regarding complex problems
