Job Description
We’re looking for an Applied Mathematician or Analytical Physicist with strong analytical instincts, physical intuition and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving to join our Industrials team.
The team develops technologies and products that solve complex real-world challenges across diverse markets, including environmental sensing, semiconductor manufacturing and industrial equipment. Working across multiple disciplines, we combine scientific analysis, physical modelling and engineering to understand problems at a fundamental level and turn that understanding into better products and technologies.
As an Applied Mathematician at TTP, you’ll get to the heart of complex challenges, identify the underlying physical processes and translate them into mathematical models that help guide the way forward. You’ll use first-principles reasoning to challenge assumptions, identify the effects that really matter and make sense of complexity through well-judged simplifications.
Qualifications
We’re looking for an analytical, curious problem-solver who enjoys applying mathematics and physical intuition to complex, real-world challenges.
You’ll ideally bring:
- A PhD in applied mathematics, physics or a related discipline.
- Excellent mathematical reasoning, with the ability to translate real-world problems into mathematical models from first principles.
- Experience developing and using computational models and simulations of physical systems, from simplified analytical approaches to more detailed numerical models.
- Experience with tools such as MATLAB and/or COMSOL, alongside programming skills in Python or another relevant language to develop your own models and analysis tools.
- The ability to quickly understand unfamiliar technical problems, identify the key physical processes and adapt your approach across different scientific and engineering domains.
- A pragmatic approach to analysis, balancing mathematical rigour with the need to reach useful conclusions and make decisions at pace.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex analysis clearly and translate results into actionable insights for multidisciplinary teams and clients.
