• Applicant will require a minimum of 5 years in modeling and simulation (M&S).
• Have a working knowledge of computational fluid dynamics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, turbulence modeling, structural dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, acoustics, chemical reactions, and/or electromagnetics.
  
  • Must have experience working on Unix-based high-performance computing platforms
  • Must have experience with multi-physics simulation codes such as ANSYS, OpenFOAM, Sierra, CTH, Peridigm
  • Must have experience with geometry manipulation (Solidworks, AutoCAD, Rhino3D) and meshing (ANSYS Meshing, Pointwise, ICEM, Cubit, Capstone)
• Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills. Applicant will be required to produce written technical reports, presentations and give briefings to technical and non-technical personnel.

Duties to Include but not limited to:

• Assemble needed material properties (liquid, gaseous, liquid-vapor mixture, and solid) for simulations, to possibly include chemical properties, such as rates of reactions and thermodynamics properties.
• High-fidelity simulations may include computational fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, fluid-structure-interaction, composites, fracture and fragmentation, heat transfer, chemical reactions, combustion and detonation, particle flows, evaporation and condensation.
• Popssibly also build low- and medium-fidelity models of processes and facilities using Matlab/Simulink/Simscape and Python/C/C++.
• Support System Engineers in conducting system analysis to understand upstream and downstream effects to industrial processes and other utility systems.
• Support test operations to validate methodologies and tools developed.
• Travel: Up to 5% travel required.

Preferred Education and Experience:

• Possess at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field.
• Have a working knowledge of other utility systems (cooling, heating, ventilation, industrial water, wastewater, power, inert gas, compressed/instrument air, hydraulic, and/or fuel systems).
• Desired experience, but not required:
  
  • Engineering or utility department for an installation, facility or vessel (i.e. ship’s engine room).
  • Nuclear, power production, data centers, chemical, petrochemical or manufacturing facility(s).
  • Industrial plant operations and processing operations to include process startup, operations and safety.
• Required Minimum Active DOD TS/SCI Clearance.
• US citizenship and ability to pass extensive background checks.
• Willing and eligible to take polygraph.

Competitive benefits package includes:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision plan for each employee and dependents.
