What is a CFD Modeling job?

A CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Modeling job involves using numerical methods and algorithms to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and related physical phenomena. Professionals in this role use specialized software to simulate and optimize designs in industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. They work with engineers to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and solve complex fluid dynamics problems. Strong skills in mathematics, physics, and programming are essential for success in this field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Cfd Modeling position, and why are they important?

To succeed in CFD Modeling, you need a strong background in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and numerical simulation, often supported by a degree in engineering or applied sciences. Familiarity with specialized CFD software such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, or COMSOL Multiphysics, along with experience in programming languages like Python or MATLAB, is highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills distinguish exceptional candidates. These competencies are crucial for accurately simulating complex physical phenomena, interpreting results, and collaborating on multidisciplinary engineering projects.

What are the typical projects and team dynamics like for CFD Modeling professionals?

CFD Modeling professionals typically work on projects ranging from optimizing industrial equipment and automotive designs to improving HVAC systems and analyzing aerodynamic performance. Teams are often multidisciplinary, including mechanical engineers, design specialists, and project managers, with ongoing collaboration required to ensure that simulation results inform effective design decisions. Daily tasks involve setting up simulations, interpreting data, preparing reports, and presenting findings to stakeholders. These roles offer strong opportunities for career advancement into senior engineering, project leadership, or specialized research positions as expertise develops.

Job description

About Hertha Metals, Inc.:
Hertha Metals is redefining how the world makes steel. We've developed a breakthrough single-step steelmaking process that uses gas reductants to convert iron ore of any grade or form, delivering lower production costs and emissions than blast furnaces-while improving product quality and scalability. Having operated the world's largest single-step steelmaking pilot plant, we're now scaling toward commercial deployment. Our mission is to redefine the foundation of modern industry by scaling cleaner, more efficient, and more cost competitive metalmaking systems. At Hertha, engineers, metallurgists, and operators work side by side to transform the future of steelmaking.
Modeling Engineer
Hertha Metals is well on its way to dramatically change the global steel industry with its revolutionary ironmaking technology. We are seeking an experienced modeling engineer to help develop multi-phase CFD models for our cutting-edge technology. You must enjoy working in a fast-paced startup environment where creativity, speed, initiative and cross-functional teamwork are required to succeed. This position reports to the Head of Engineering.
Key Responsibilities
To be successful in this role, a candidate must have a deep understanding of how to model complex physical systems, validate the accuracy of the models, help interpret the data developed by the model, and ultimately, help integrate findings into future equipment designs. This position will work closely with the research, engineering and operations teams to gather input for the model, establish boundary conditions and develop data to validate model performance.
Additional skills:
  • Have experience modeling complex fluid flows phenomena and interactions, including conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Experience modeling chemical process systems with two or more miscible liquid phases, is a plus. Experience modeling high temperature systems is also a plus.
  • A deep understanding of different meshing strategies to optimize simulation accuracy and efficiency.
  • Be able to draw, import and manipulate CAD models for CFD models.
  • Strong knowledge of partial differential equations solutions
  • Will need to be proficient with ANSYS Fluent
  • Have familiarity with scripting languages for data manipulation
  • Being comfortable with changing priorities

Your experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in physics, mechanical engineering, chemistry or materials science with 10+ years of relevant modeling experience. PhD preferred.
  • Willingness and ability to work independently to accomplish assigned tasks but ask questions when unsure of next steps.
  • Read, write and communicate observations effectively and present status, action, recommendations, and other technical information
  • Capacity to build strong relationships with and positively influence equipment vendors.

Personal Attributes
Energetic and highly motivated; high level of organization; able to multitask on many projects; detail oriented; able to focus on overall project goals; team oriented.
Level of Independence
Individuals must be able to work independently and also be able to direct long-term tasks through to completion.Some projects are highly supervised, some are minimally supervised
