Company Description

Hexagon Lavish® is an antiartificial scientific R&D startup based in Atlanta, Georgia that specializes in performance of immediate materials characterization and information retrieval technique development and implementation. The company's introductory product, PIR: Premier Information Retrieval, is informational interpretation software and service that amplifies and maximizes the utility of computer vision and image processing. 

Our technology, informational interpretation, rests at the sub-root of information retrieval and is designed to perform an IMMEDIATE detection functionality utilizing a combination of image processing and computer vision. Our product-in-development, PIR: Premier Information Retrieval, exemplifies the aforementioned performance.

Position Overview

Hexagon Lavish® is an antiartificial scientific research and development startup in Atlanta, Georgia that has an opening for a full-time/permanent position for a Computational Chemist.

The Computational Chemist will be required to draw emphasis on computational capabilities beyond measure to expand upon the concurrent research and development concerning informational interpretation by implementing reaction dynamics and molecular dynamics as well as molecular orbital theory. The Computational Chemist will need to know how to take "the impractical and make it practical". 

The Computational Chemist will work in concert with the Materials Scientist in materials characterization and informational interpretation in regards to identity functions as they relate to "a material's emergence" ("object tagging").

The Computational Chemist will report directly to the Chief Science Officer.
