Material and modelling engineer

JOB VACANCY: MATERIALS & MODELLING ENGINEER

Company Overview

Impetus (IMPETUS Afea) is a leading expert company in computational mechanics, best known for developing the Impetus Solver — a high-precision, GPU-accelerated platform for simulating extreme mechanical events.

Our technology is used in applications ranging from impact and fragmentation to structural response and fluid-structure interaction. With offices in Flekkefjord (NO) and Stockholm (SE), we work at the intersection of advanced physics, engineering insight, and real-world defence applications.

We are now expanding our team with a new kind of role.

Role: Materials & Modelling Engineer

This is a hybrid position combining computational modelling, physical material testing, educational model building and visual and written communication.

You will help transform complex physics into intuitive models, teaching material, and documentation that make advanced simulation accessible and useful.

Your work will contribute both to internal knowledge building, external manuals/training material and experimental material characterization.

What You Will Do

You will work in a split role between:

1. Educational & Demonstration Modelling

• Build clear, instructive simulation models using Impetus Solver
• Develop example cases for:
• Manuals
• Training material
• Application notes
• Customer onboarding
• Help visualize complex material behavior and physical phenomena
• Contribute to documentation that explains why, not just how

2. Materials & Testing Work

• Participate in material testing activities
• Support calibration of material models
• Connect experimental observations with simulation models
• Help translate physical behaviour into usable modelling approaches

Who You Are

We are looking for someone with:

• Background in materials science, engineering physics, or similar
• Experience using Impetus Solver
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Strong ability to communicate technical ideas clearly

Experience

Previous work experience is not required. This role may suit a recent graduate, a PhD candidate, or someone early in their career.

What matters most is understanding of materials behavior, familiarity with Impetus Solver and a strong communication ability.

Location

Stockholm, Sweden
