Job description

Primary Responsibilities

• Write, test, and deploy new simulation codes and scripts to solve unique engineering problems that off‑the‑shelf software cannot address.
• Set up, run, and analyze complex 2D and 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for various fluid flow and thermal systems.
• Develop robust mathematical and physics‑based models to simulate mechanical system behaviors under diverse operational conditions.
• Correlate simulation results with physical test data to validate and refine computational models.
• Work closely with design and test engineers to provide actionable insights derived from simulation outputs.
• Document methodologies, code architecture, and simulation results in comprehensive technical reports and briefings.

Basic Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field. Advanced degree (MS or Ph.D.) highly preferred.
• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in modeling, simulation, and complex fluid dynamics analysis.
• CFD Expertise: Deep theoretical and practical knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics; proficiency with industry‑standard tools such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, STAR‑CCM+, and custom environments.
• Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in writing new code for numerical methods and simulation (e.g., C++, Python, Fortran, MATLAB).
• Analytical Skills: Ability to translate complex physical phenomena into accurate mathematical models and interpret high‑volume simulation data.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and cross‑team collaboration.
• U.S. citizenship required.
