About Stand

Stand is a new technology and insurance company revolutionizing how society assesses, mitigates, and adapts to climate risks. Our leadership team has extensive experience in insurance, technology, and climate science : building billions in market value at prior ventures. At Stand, we are rethinking how insurance enables proactive, science-driven resilience.

Existing insurance models often rely on broad exclusions, leaving homeowners without options. At Stand, we leverage advanced deterministic models and cutting-edge analytics to provide personalized risk assessments—helping homeowners secure coverage and take proactive steps toward resilience.

Role Summary :

As a Physics Simulation Engineer on the Applied Science team, you’ll play a key role in developing and deploying advanced computational physics models, collaborating closely with engineers, technologists, and leadership in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

We’re investing in physics-based simulation as a core capability to model and mitigate risk. This includes adapting traditionally high-cost engineering methods (e.g., CFD, FEA) into scalable, automated tools that operate orders of magnitude faster. You’ll also help us train machine learning models to understand the underlying laws of deterministic physics—transforming legacy workflows into modern, accessible systems.

This role offers a front-row seat to shaping how high-fidelity simulation and AI intersect to characterize the physical world.

Your responsibilities will include :

• Owning our core CFD / thermofluid solvers and their supporting scripts and infrastructure
• Translating real-world physics into simulation code (e.g., combustion, wind dynamics)
• Tuning and validating models and methods against empirical data and experiments
• Running simulations and communicating results to cross-functional teams
• Accelerating traditional numerical solvers and simulation runtimes
• Supporting the development of AI-driven physics models alongside researchers and engineers

What we are looking for :

Compensation :

The annual base salary range for full-time employees in this position is $160,000 to $210,000 + meaningful Equity Grant.

Compensation decisions are dependent on several factors including, but not limited to, an individual’s qualifications, location where the role is to be performed, internal equity, and alignment with market data.

Why Join Stand?

At Stand, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team redefining how insurance intersects with climate resilience.
