Job description

The team of Wärtsilä marine engineering simulators is looking forMath Modeller. You can become part of a team which works on a market leader product (45% market share) that imitates marine engineering functionality for vessels. The preferred location for this position is Helsinki, Finland but also Turku, Finland is negotiable. We offer a possibility to hybrid work.

Main responsibilities

• Develop from the scratch for dynamic math models of vessel equipment and systems.
• Create front-end side of simulators.
• Compile technical documentation for these models.
• Maintain existing models.
• Take a part in agile activities.

To be successful in this position, we expect you to

• Bs or MS in physics, applied math, engineering or similar field.
• Practical experience in imitation modelling of physical systems.

• Basic knowledge of OOP approach or any OOP language.
• Be able to formulate a problem correctly and plan ways to solve it.
• English intermediate or higher.
• Be agile.

We will be amazed if you have (but not mandatory)

• Be familiar with Open Modelica or any Modelica-based language.
• Be able to quickly master new tools.
• Have a background in marine engineering.

Practical experience in imitation modelling required in one of the areas

• Hydraulics (gravity flow, pumping through pipeline, pump characteristics, pipeline elements resistance, Bernoulli equation, two-phase media flow (liquid + gas)).
• Heat Transfer (heat capacity of materials – solid, liquids, gases; heat exchange between various media; temperature transfer & temperature resistance of materials).
• Thermodynamics (ideal gas laws; real gas specifics; main thermodynamics parameters and characteristics, its interdependencies; thermodynamics laws; phase transitions).
• Mechanics (kinematics and dynamics of rigid body, rotational dynamics equations; mechanical energy parameters and equations, mechanical energy transitions, inertia characteristics; simple mechanisms).
• Automation and regulation (main principals and parameters; governors (controllers) – main types and work principals; controlled system parameters and dynamic).
