Job summary

UniversalAGI, Inc. is seeking a Reservoir Simulation Engineer in San Francisco, onsite 5 days a week.

You will design and run high-fidelity reservoir simulations (blackoil and compositional), build data pipelines from numerous model variants, and help shape AI models for physics with our CEO and founder team. You will apply deep reservoir engineering knowledge to push the limits of automated history matching, PVT behavior, and uncertainty quantification while working closely with clients to

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years hands-on experience building and running reservoir simulation models including conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
• Expert in reservoir simulation frameworks (Eclipse/Intersect, CMG, OPM Flow, or similar), including blackoil and compositional formulations.
• Deep understanding of PVT behavior, relative permeability, capillary pressure, well modeling, material balance, and history matching.
• Solid understanding of geologic/geocellular model construction, upscaling, and grid generation.
• Strong communicator capable of bridging customers, engineering and research teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and run reservoir simulation studies across conventional and unconventional reservoirs at scale and speed.
• Construct reservoir models and run hundreds or thousands of variants to build training data pipelines.
• Collaborate with our AI team to bridge reservoir engineering and AI model development.
• Work with clients to define benchmarks, validation criteria, and workflows demonstrating model accuracy.
• Generate high-quality simulation data that advances our foundation models.
• Advise on PVT behavior, relative permeability, capillary pressure, history matching, and fracture networks.
• Lead technical customer conversations translating reservoir engineering to AI terms.
