Job description

The client is a world-renowned electronics manufacturing company headquartered in Taiwan, recognized as one of the largest technology solution providers globally. They are expanding their R&D presence in Singapore. The below position is open urgently.

Location: Singapore (with ~15% travel within Asia)
Employment Type: Full-time | Regular Office Hour

About the Role:
Join the simulation-driven innovation team to develop next-generation heat management technologies. This position focuses on CFD and multi-scale thermal modelling to support advanced additive manufacturing (AM) systems. You will collaborate globally to optimize design, process, and system performance — with growth opportunities into materials simulation (thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructure modelling).

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct CFD and heat transfer simulations using commercial software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, Flow3D, OpenFOAM).

• Develop customized CFD models to optimize AM process parameters and new machine designs.

• Refine models for higher accuracy through sensitivity studies and solver optimization.

• Participate in global problem-solving activities for product and process development.

• Support engineering improvements and new product launches.

• Drive R&D initiatives through technical reports, white papers, and patent proposals.

• Evaluate and develop new 3D printing simulation tools (commercial or open-source).

• Provide short-term overseas technical support as required.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Physics, or Materials Science.

• Proficiency in CFD and simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent, Flow3D, or OpenFOAM.

• Experience with Python/MATLAB scripting or UDF development preferred.

• Minimum 3 years’ relevant experience in heat transfer or fluid dynamics simulation.

• Good knowledge of manufacturing or product design is a plus.
