Wherever we operate, we build vertically integrated full stacks of capability—designing, building, and operating turnkey solutions that let customers scale capacity while benefiting from continuous cycles of innovation. With operators and engineers under one roof, we close the gap between lab and field—what we call connecting design with effect.
Metrea’s solutions are built for elegance: effective, efficient, and evolving. This approach enables our partners to do more with less and achieve outsized, asymmetric advantage against rapidly evolving threats.
Headquartered in Washington, DC, Metrea has facilities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond.
Group Overview
The Digital and Synthetic Capability Unit (D&S) is committed to providing mission-driven information solutions that seamlessly bridge the digital and physical realms. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and advanced platforms, we empower operational readiness and elevate situational awareness across diverse domains—including air, maritime, and space.
Position Summary
We are seeking a Computational Scientist with a strong background in wildfire and environmental modelling to join our Digital & Synthetic Capability Unit. This role focuses on developing, improving, and operationalising wildfire prediction models to support our firefighting training simulator and enterprise-level decision tools.
You will design and implement numerical and statistical modelling approaches for wildfire spread and coupled atmospheric processes, run simulations in an automated and scalable HPC environment, and apply downscaling or bias-correction techniques to improve local prediction fidelity. The role requires translating scientific models into robust, production-quality tools that can be integrated into training systems and operational workflows.
In addition, you will contribute to the development of high-fidelity scientific visualisation pipelines within Unreal Engine, ensuring that wildfire and meteorological simulation outputs are transformed into accurate, real-time representations for immersive training and scenario analysis.
The successful candidate will combine scientific depth with practical software engineering capability, enabling models to be executed reliably at scale and integrated into decision-making processes across the organisation.
