Job Description: Established nearly two centuries ago, FM is a leading mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of its policyholder-owners. These owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world's largest organizations, including one of every four Fortune 500 companies. They work with FM to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection. FM is seeking a Senior Research Scientist to develop new scientific knowledge, technologies, and engineering solutions for problems related to fire detection and suppression. The position will directly contribute to industrial property loss prevention, with emphasis on critical business areas and emerging hazards such as data centers, renewable energy industries, automated storage facilities, and operations involving ignitable liquids. Responsibilities Lead internally funded research projects to evaluate fire detection and suppression performance. Design experiments to support the development, calibration, and validation of physics based or empirical models. Apply available modeling tools and analytical methods for effective problem solving. Interpret and analyze experimental and model data and prepare high quality technical documentation. Communicate test methods, results, and engineering recommendations to internal and external stakeholders, including collaborators, clients, and industry partners. Manage all aspects of project management, including proposals, planning, execution, reporting, and engineering application. Qualifications: PhD in Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, or a closely related field.
