Vacant job

Are you as inspired as we are by the combination of multiphysics simulation and programming, with a focus on geometrical and mathematical problems? Do you want to work in a team of driven and talented colleagues? Would you like to develop core functionality for products used worldwide by tens of thousands of engineers? If so, read on.

Who We Are

COMSOL is the leading innovator of multiphysics simulation software for research and product development. The COMSOL product suite enables our users to solve challenging science and engineering problems, thanks to our intuitive and flexible user interface. We create the tools that drive new breakthroughs in science and engineering, and we love what we do. Founded in Sweden in 1986, the COMSOL organization boasts 16 offices and a distributor network throughout the world with more than 500 employees.

What You'll Do

In our newly renovated Stockholm office, we develop the core functionality of our multiphysics product family, used worldwide in research and development (R&D) and computer-aided engineering (CAE). We are now seeking a talented and motivated software developer to expand the team developing the meshing functionality of our flagship product COMSOL Multiphysics®. This fully integrated functionality is used by our customers to automatically discretize geometries in the most efficient way for the simulation. An important part of this process is to prepare the geometries, that for example can be defined by CAD models or 3D scans, for simulation by automatically cleaning up small details and defects. As a new hire, you will:

• Work in a specific problem space, with the goal to gradually expand your knowledge within the many areas we're responsible for, with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.
• Take on an integral role in the full life-cycle of your code, from design to development, testing, feedback, improvement, and maintenance.
• Help solve real problems for engineers worldwide.

As a developer in our team you will work with advanced algorithms for solving geometrical and mathematical problems. Most development is done in C++, but we also use Java.

Your day-to-day work typically involves writing code, reviewing other team members’ code, being involved in specification- and design work, testing and giving feedback on the team’s projects, and otherwise contributing to the overall health of the codebase.

What We're Looking For

You are passionate about problem-solving and not afraid to dig into existing code and make it your own. You are open-minded, value teamwork, and understand the importance of putting users center stage. You also care about code quality and understand the need for comprehensive test coverage, a sense of code ownership, modularity, adequate performance-tuning, and good documentation. Beyond that, we are looking for someone with the following background:

• PhD, MSc, or equivalent degree in mathematics, engineering, or computer science.
• Excellent skills in at least one of C++ and Java.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Must be eligible to work in Sweden, but Swedish is not a requirement as long as you have good English skills.

Experience with the following will be valued when assessing candidates:

• Algorithms for geometric problems.
• Larger software projects.
• Mentorship of other developers.

Knowledge of physics or simulation is not a requirement, but interest in these areas will help to better understand our product and market.

What We Offer

At COMSOL, you will quickly play a key role within your development projects, where you will have many opportunities to suggest ideas and improvements. As the company is growing continuously, we strive toward making you an expert within your development area within a few years. Along the way, you will be supported by experienced colleagues in a collaborative working environment. In addition to an exciting career working on a sophisticated software product, we also offer a competitive salary, individual pension plans, and sponsored gym membership. We value your leisure time and the importance of work-life balance. To ensure a smooth onboarding, you will need to be onsite initially. After this period, there may be opportunities to work partly from home, depending on your needs.

Our corporate culture is innovative, vibrant, and cutting-edge. We are committed to encouraging creativity through an exciting and challenging environment in which individuals excel and grow. We believe that our talented employees and an active learning environment are the keys to our success.
