$144,900 - $265,188 Annually for the SEL.4 level
$173,904 - $318,216 Annually for the SEL.5 level
This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting; pay will not be below any applicable local minimum wage. An employee's position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, specific competencies, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Job Description
We have an opening for an Engineering Modeling and Simulation (EMS) Section Leader. EMS consists of eight groups with an array of scientific and engineering skills sharing a common focus on using computational tools and resources to conceptualize, construct, compute, and interpret models of complex systems. These models can encompass single- or multi-physics phenomenon, often in a highly nonlinear regime. The members of EMS act as technical experts contributing to most Laboratory programs and frequently participate in Strategic Partnership Projects with external sponsors. Our experts often contribute to multi-disciplinary teams, interacting with experimentalists and project engineers to deliver solutions to their customers.
This Section Leader position is funded at 15-20% time and you must maintain other roles making technical or management contributions. Those complementary assignments are at the discretion and direction of the funding programmatic elements.
