The experimental, theoretical and numerical studies will be closely integrated with testing at various scales and the research work will be conducted by collaborating within the working team and internal and external stakeholders. Additional components consist of performing focused studies and conveying their results in a form suitable for use by FM Global engineers. Long-range studies of fundamental nature will be balanced with applied research focused on critical business needs.

The position is responsible for all aspects of project management including project proposal, execution, data analysis, budgeting, and documentation. In addition, the position is responsible for communicating and transferring research results for practical use within FM Global and, as appropriate, to outside organizations including the scientific/engineering communities and standard organizations.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as demonstrated expertise in developing solutions to challenging technical problems, and a fundamental understanding of the physics relevant to explosion phenomena are required.
* Title and salary are commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The final salary offer will vary based on geographic location, individual education, skills, and experience. The position is eligible to participate in FM Global's comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes an incentive plan, generous health and well-being programs, a 401(k) and pension plan, career development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, flexible work, time off allowances and much more.
