At Metron, our Reston office employs mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. We routinely apply stochastic processes, statistical inference, optimization and scheduling, models of random graphs and applied physics to develop the underlying theory and applications for our clients. Projects typically involve developing advanced algorithms implemented in a computer prototype system for our research & development customers. We work in small teams, led by Senior Analysts, who work closely with new employees. Project teams work together from the initial system concept, through software and algorithm design, to implementation and demonstration. We believe an employee's specific academic training is not as important as their innate ability and willingness to learn new areas of mathematics and work on difficult problems. Our Reston office is seeking talented candidates to develop mathematical models and algorithms, develop and demonstrate prototype software, and participate in operational analysis related to their technical work. The successful candidate will interact with customers, both onsite and offsite, gather requirements and data, write and present briefings, and contribute to the development of Metron tools.

Desired Qualifications:
• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science, Math, Physics or Operations Research
• Some programming experience is preferred (C, C++, Java, Matlab, etc.)
• Mathematical, simulation, or physical modeling experience highly desired
• US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED

Position Location: Reston, VA

Metron is a scientific consulting company dedicated to solving challenging problems in national defense through the development and application of advanced mathematical methods. Problem solutions are realized in computer software with graphical interfaces that allow a user to understand and act on the results without having to comprehend the intricacies of the models themselves

Metron's employees are leaders in their technical fields who have made the commitment to solve real-world problems. They excel in statistical inference, operations research, physical modeling, and software development. Our success depends upon recruiting and retaining the best talent available in the fields of applied mathematics, physics, and computer science. At Metron, we believe that employees should combine their innate talent with a willingness to work on challenging problems and to extend their knowledge to other disciplines. This philosophy allows us to create a team-based approach to problem solving and product development that has been highly successful.

The company is organized into three divisions serving clients in the greater Washington, D.C. area and San Diego:

• Applied Mathematics Applications (Virginia)
• Systems & Analysis (Virginia)
• OASiS Group (California)
