Job Description:

Primary Responsibilities:

• Support new product development (NPD) through CAE simulations, including CFD and FEA.  Responsibilities include axial and centrifugal fan design, internal flow path development, and structural integrity and durability.
• Support the Advanced Engineering team in the research and development of new to market products and technology.
• Perform and develop techniques for multi-physics simulations including conjugate heat transfer analysis, spray atomization, and aeroacoustics.
• Perform optimization and sensitivity analyses through design of experiments (DOE) and meta-modeling.  
• Serve as subject matter expert in topics related CFD including RANS and scale resolving models.
• Develop reduced order plant models (ROM) to predict mechanical and thermal system performance using MATLAB, Simscape, Python, or similar languages.
• Perform measurements including sound, vibration, fan performance, vacuum performance, and pressure loss coefficients.
• Maintain current knowledge of developments in the field to recommend innovations to improve quality and effectiveness of company products.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical or Aerospace) or a related engineering field with 6+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Proficiency in CAD modeling (NX, SolidWorks or other commercial code).
• Proficiency in a computational language (MatLab, Simscape, Simulink, Python, Fortran, C, C++, or VB)
• Relevant work experience includes but is not limited to:
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation
  • Simulation of compressible and incompressible flow fields using RANS and scale resolving techniques.
  • Multiphysics simulations including CHT, DPM, electromagnetics, aeroacoustics, and FSI
  • Simulation of multi-phase flow fields
  • System modeling in Matlab, Simscape, Simulink, Python, or other computational language
  • Laboratory testing and data acquisition including but not limited to sound, vibration, temperature, pressure, flow rate, torque, power, etc.
• International and domestic travel not required
• Position requires on-site work a minimum of 3 days per week.
