Job description

Ensuring Chart’s Success…

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. (Chart) (NYSE: GTLS) is a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment and services related to cryogenic gas processing and rotating equipment. In the cryogenic sector, the Chart brand is synonymous with the liquefaction, distribution, and storage of liquid gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, LNG, biogas, hydrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide. The acquisition of Howden expanded our portfolio to include air and gas handling products such as compressors, cooling fans, steam turbines, and more, expanding our offering of products and solutions across traditional markets and providing access to new ones such as nuclear, energy recovery, tunnel ventilation, mine safety, and electrification.

Chart products are widely used across industry, leisure, science, medicine, food and beverage, water treatment, and clean energy. The ability to combine multiple products to create complete end-to-end solutions is what makes Chart unique and has established the company as a pioneer in developing applications such as LNG to power, hydrogen, carbon capture, and cooling systems for high-energy users such as data centers, green steel, and many more.

What Will You Do?

• Perform CFD simulations for Cryogenic products, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and other mechanical equipment.
• Execute end-to-end simulation activities including geometry preparation, meshing, setup, solving, post-processing, and reporting.
• Conduct steady-state and transient analyses involving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and multiphase phenomena.
• Perform steady-state and transient analyses involving:
• Laminar and turbulent flows
• Compressible and incompressible flows
• Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
• Single and multi-species mass transfer and Multiphase flows
• Analyze cryogenic processes such as thermal stratification, convection, phase change, and heat transfer in vacuum-insulated systems.
• Develop and apply UDFs, parametric models, and automation workflows to improve simulation efficiency and accuracy.
• Develop parametric simulation methodologies and automated post-processing workflows to improve simulation efficiency and accuracy.
• Demonstrate strong proficiency in ANSYS Meshing and ANSYS Fluent.
• Carry out structural, thermal, fatigue, buckling, seismic, and vibration analyses when required.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and project teams to resolve technical challenges
