Location: Los Alamos, NM
Cap-Exempt H-1B Position — No lottery required
**What You Will Do** Join the best and brightest minds in the world at one of the most innovative and creative multidisciplinary research institutions engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security; the work we do at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) matters to our country and the world. We are looking for outstanding candidates in the field of computer science, electrical engineering, or related fields with a strong aptitude in application development. This position will support the development of user-friendly R&D software capabilities for advanced decision support and analysis on the cutting edge to solve constantly evolving, emergent national security challenges. Areas of active research with immediate needs are broad and include power transmission and distribution, microgrids, artificial intelligence and machine learning including large language models (LLMs), and stochastic optimization for strategic deterrence. The candidate is expected to work in a collaborative environment across different disciplines and demonstrate the ability to pivot across a variety of research areas. This position is part of the Computational Intelligence & Modeling Group (A-1), who facilitate the application of trusted, cutting-edge modeling, simulation, and data-driven intelligence capabilities backed by rigorous engineering and validation to enable rapid, evidence-based decision-making for critical national and global security challenges. A-1 is the essential connection between research frontiers and mission success, where innovative research and development (R&D) transforms information on global threats into knowledge to keep decision makers ahead of the curve. Agility and adaptability are highly prized and emphasized; because the global threat landscape constantly evolves, so too does A-1's R&D portfolio. Some examples of A-1's current stakeholders include the U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of War, Department of Ho
