Job Positions at Engineering Mechanics Department,Institute of High Performance Computing,Singapore

As a proud member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) was established in April 1998 to provide leadership in high performance computing as a strategic resource for scientific inquiry and industry development.  Our mission is to advance science and technology, and develop leading edge applications through high performance computing and computational science.  

We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are able to work independently and yet good team players, possess excellent analytical, technical and problem solving skills, good technical writing and presentation skills.  If you share our interests in solving challenging scientific problems using computational science and engineering techniques, we welcome you to apply for any one of the following positions.

Position: Research Fellow/Research Engineer

Project name: Material Characterization and energy absorbing curved beam optimization through simulation and  testing

Job Description: Candidate's work will be focused on development of FE based methodology and modeling tools for evaluation and characterization of the mechanical properties of a composite structures.

Requirements:

• A PhD in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent is prefered
• A strong background in computational structural dynamics of composite materials/ laminated composite structures
• Good knowledge of numerical methods, particularly Finite element method, and algorithms
• Proficient in at least one of the programming languages:  C, C++, Fortran

Position: Research Fellow/Research Engineer

Project name: Modelling of Metal Shot Peening Process

Job Description: Candidate's work will be focused on development and implementation of cost effective tool for calculation of the coverage of the component undergoing shot peening process
