Applications Engineer: Computational Electromagnetics

Primary Responsibilities

• Demonstrate the building of clear and understandable simulation examples for prospective customers on simulations of their applications, primarily in the field of electromagnetics.
• Support prospective customers on the modeling of their applications with COMSOL Multiphysics®.
• Demonstrate use of the COMSOL® software and summarize its features in web-based workshops and other marketing and sales events, along with customer meetings.
• A willingness and ability to travel for limited periods of time to current and potential customers in order to run COMSOL-sponsored events and activities in North and South America.
• Support customers on use of the COMSOL® software for their electromagnetic applications, along with a variety of Multiphysics applications involving other engineering disciplines.
• Initiate and participate in subsequent sales opportunities to existing customers or the colleagues and other departments of existing customers.
• Develop your technical and simulation knowledge and abilities through working with sales and support cases both independently and in cooperation with other sales and applications engineers.
• Run introductory training courses along with electromagnetic-specific courses.
• Develop and mentor new applications engineers, technical account managers, and sales engineers on the COMSOL® software and its uses in certain application areas.

Minimum Qualifications

• A PhD in engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or a physical science.
• A strong theoretical background in electromagnetics and mathematical physics.
• Experience with high frequency electrodynamics such as wave propagation and radiation.
• Twelve months or more experience in modeling applications based on numerical methods, such as the finite element method or similar, that has been gained as part of project work at a commercial company, government research facility, or university.
• Excellent communication skills on the phone, in person, and in writing.
• Current eligibility to work in the U.S.

Preferred Qualifications
