Numerica's Research Scientists excel at developing state-of-the artalgorithms and software that solve scientific problems with real-worldapplications. Working in small innovative teams, our research scientistsbuild solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don't endonce we've written a journal or conference paper describing ourtechnology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has beendeployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government andindustry are successful. As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote,"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."Therefore, Numerica is seeking talented "magicians" to join in ourcommon struggle of expanding the boundary of what's possible.
What You Will Do:
