Direct message the job poster from Cambium

Computational / AI Materials Scientist

Must be a U.S. Citizen

All applicants must include a cover letter explaining why they are interested in joining Cambium in this role, and how their skills / experience could help Cambium solve the challenges of structural high-temperature polymers.

Defense, aerospace, and other high-performance applications demand new material solutions that are stronger, lighter, more resilient, tested, and delivered faster than traditionally available. Cambium is disrupting advanced materials development, from AI-driven molecular design to agile domestic manufacturing. Whether enabling hypersonic flight or protecting critical systems, our solutions push the limits of what's possible. Cambium solves mission-critical problems in defense and industry. Our team of world-class scientists and engineers was purpose-built to take on those challenges. Come join us and revolutionize advanced materials for defense, aerospace, and beyond.

The Role

Cambium is seeking a Computational / AI Materials Scientist to drive material discovery through physical simulation and AI modeling. A candidate should have deep expertise in physical modeling (quantum or atomistic) and applying AI to materials problems, and a passion for material discovery and innovation.

The successful candidate will lead the development and application of molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), and (AI / ML) models for material property prediction and inverse design of ground-breaking materials in composite and optical systems. Candidates will integrate closely with experimental colleagues to feed material screening and product development activities.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute molecular and quantum simulations to support materials discovery and optimization.
• Develop and apply multi-modal AI models to predict and design novel material candidates for experimental testing.
• Work with collaborators to collect, aggregate, and quality-control data for modeling and analysis.
• Automate high-throughput simulation and data curation pipelines.
• Implement and scale simulation and AI / ML workflows on cloud-based HPC systems (e.g., Azure, GCP).
• Contribute to IP generation, technical presentations, and reports, and collaborative R&D efforts with partners in academia, national labs, and industry.
