Job Description
Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?
Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It With Pride.
Working as part of a cross-functional team covering broad modelling disciplines you are an internally recognized expert in computational physics a technical area of critical importance to the R&D function. You identify define and solve complex modelling and simulation problems tackling R&D's highest priority ingredient product process and packaging challenges. Applying your in-depth knowledge of this technical specialty you will drive rapid high-quality innovation capabilities across Mondelez's portfolio spanning chocolate biscuit gum and candy categories.
How you will contribute
You will bring computational physics modelling & simulation capabilities to Mondelez R&D's highest priority areas developing solutions to move R&D work away from large factory-scale trials towards small-scale or in silico predictions. Specifically you will:
  • Design and deliver rapid simulation capabilities to drive solutions to business challenges.
  • Plan lead and manage modelling and simulation projects scoping and proposing opportunities for sustained business impact.
  • Work closely with engineers and scientists to define complex technical challenges and agree on problem scope.
  • Communicate complex problems simply to non-technical audiences with relevant business context.
  • Define the data required to build models; collaborate with internal teams or external organizations to collect this information which may include designing experimental tests.
  • Use software tools to design build test and implement simulations - or select and manage delivery through an external partner.
  • Ensure simulations are validated against experimental data including any required experiments or factory trials.
  • Deploy models via simple UIs using the Mondelez-approved technology stack in collaboration with IT and/or external partners.
  • Establish strategy and roadmap for integrating computational physics into R&D business processes.
  • Quantify and communicate the value of computational physics to stakeholders the associated plan and embed learnings into business processes to accelerate innovation and optimization.
  • Author best-practice documentation and knowledge-base articles from project learnings.
  • Share knowledge and coach junior colleagues building internal modelling & simulation capability across R&D.
  • Maintain data management practices - ensuring models datasets and simulation outputs are documented and stored in line with company data governance policies.
  • Research and keep pace with developments in relevant modelling simulation and virtual prototyping techniques.
  • Provide regular project updates to senior stakeholders flagging potential impediments and resource needs.

What you will bring
Physics & Modelling Fundamentals
  • Fundamental understanding of materials' physical properties: how these are measured and modelled (e.g. viscosity thermal conductivity rheology).
  • Solid understanding of how physical transformations can be modelled (e.g. conduction of heat fluid mixing phase change).
  • Ability to decompose complex engineering problems into tractable steps and manage technical ambiguity.
  • Ability to create and validate models to test and predict real-world scenarios.

Programming & Software
  • Proficient in Python for scientific computing data analysis and model deployment (e.g. NumPy SciPy pandas matplotlib).
  • Familiarity with additional languages such as MATLAB C++ or Julia is advantageous.
  • Experience with machine learning and surrogate modelling frameworks (e.g. scikit-learn TensorFlow or PyTorch).
  • Version control proficiency using Git / GitHub / GitLab for collaborative code management.

Simulation & Engineering Tools
Experience in one or more of the following:
  • Game-engine physics: Unreal Engine PhysX Unity
  • Computational fluid dynamics: ANSYS Fluent COMSOL Multiphysics
  • Finite element analysis (ANSYS Abaqus)
  • Process modelling: gPROMS Witness Aspen
  • Discrete element method: Rocky DEM EDEM
  • Extended realities (AR/VR) for visualization
  • Computer-aided design: Fusion 360 SolidWorks

Technical Rigor
  • Strong analytical problem-solving mindset; operates effectively under ambiguity.
  • Works with independence and self-direction; takes ownership of technical decisions and outcomes.
  • Solid communication skills - able to present complex technical work in engaging presentations and clear written reports for diverse audiences.
  • Active listener who builds credibility through collaborative and inclusive ways of working.
  • Demonstrates a growth mindset: proactively seeks new knowledge and shares learnings with the team.
  • Comfortable influencing across all levels of the organization including senior leadership.
