Job description

Job Description:
Position Overview:
The Senior Simulation Engineer will provide technical guidance to design teams and serve as an integral member of the propulsion development organization. This role is responsible for utilizing commercial and internal simulation tools to analyze propulsion components and systems, ensuring all functional objectives are met.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Analyze combustion system designs and concepts to achieve functional requirements through advanced simulation.
  • Build and exercise analytical models for internal combustion engines using commercial 3D CFD software tools such as Converge.
  • Provide component-level and system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis results.
  • Retrieve and modify CAD models of propulsion system components to support CFD model development.
  • Enhance current standard analysis practices and tools to improve prediction fidelity and execution speed, collaborating with method development teams.
  • Participate in product design and development teams, regularly presenting analysis results to engineering peers, Chief Engineers, and propulsion system management.
  • Document analysis objectives, results, conclusions, and assumptions using a standard report template.
  • Work cooperatively with test engineers to enhance laboratory procedures, supporting the development of first-time capable analysis techniques and reduction of physical testing.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and competitive product developments.

Basic Qualifications:
  • Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering, or Applied Physics.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in CFD simulations on propulsion systems, with a focus on combustion system development.
  • Proficiency with engineering analysis tools for propulsion systems modeling and simulation (e.g., Converge, Ansa, Star-CCM+).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrated technical problem-solving ability.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering, or Applied Physics.
  • Strong overall knowledge of propulsion system technologies and corresponding energy transformation systems.
  • Specialized experience in combustion system and combustion system simulations.
  • Proficiency in programming with commercial software (e.g., MATLAB Simulink, Visual Basic, Visual C++).
  • Demonstrated record of applied knowledge leading to design or process improvements.
