ModelingandSimulationManager

Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for a secure, resilient future. With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence and Transparency. As the Modeling and Simulation Manager you will grow and lead a multidisciplinary team of computational scientists and engineers, driving physics-based and data-based modeling efforts that directly improve magnet performance, production yields, and process efficiency. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will both contribute directly to modeling work and grow a team with deep expertise across a variety of modeling and simulation modalities, including but not limited to mechanical, fluid dynamics, electronic structure, and mathematical and image analysis. Your group’s output will shape process decisions, reduce experimental iteration cycles, and create quantitative links between structure, processing conditions, and final properties. This role will initially support pilot-scale and R define hiring roadmap, team structure, and capability milestones. Translate R establish standards for model validation, documentation, and peer review. Present results and recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders; communicate uncertainty and model limitations clearly. Responsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business. Qualifications Ph. D. or M. S. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related quantitative field. 5+ years of hands-on experience with COMSOL, Fluent, or equivalent; demonstrated ability to build and validate coupled multiphysics models and finite element analysis (FEA). Strong mathematical modeling background; experience with image analysis, m
