Senior Simulation Engineer

Our Mission  SPAN is enabling electrification for all ⚡

We are a mission-driven company designing, building, and deploying products that electrify the built environment, reduce carbon emissions, and slow the effects of climate change.

• Decarbonization is the process to reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, from entering our atmosphere.

• Electrification is the process of replacing fossil fuel appliances that run on gas or oil with all-electric upgrades for a cleaner way to power our lives.

At SPAN, we believe in:

• Enabling homes and vehicles powered by clean energy

• Making electrification upgrades possible

• Building more resilient homes with reliable backup

• Designing a flexible and distributed electrical grid

The Role

Join the SPAN engineering team as a Senior Simulation Engineer. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to conduct high-quality simulations that drive design decisions and enhance product performance. Familiarity with HFSS for antenna and cable harness applications is a valuable bonus.

You will take ownership of simulation activities, working closely with a US-based engineering mentor for technical guidance. The ability to manage simulation tasks across different time zones, specifically between teams in India and the west coast of the USA, is critical. This role demands strong communication and coordination skills, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Independently execute CFD and FEA simulations to provide actionable insights that inform and optimize product designs.

• Use engineering analysis to drive design decisions on thermal interface materials, electronics and electronic cooling systems, and passive and active cooling methods

• Design and build thermal experiment test setups, collect experimental data, and leverage experimental and fleet wide data analytics to improve simulation accuracy

• Collaborate with your engineering mentor to analyze simulation results, recommending design changes to enhance performance and reliability.

• Coordinate simulation tasks across teams, ensuring effective communication and timely updates between disparate time zones.

• Document methodologies and findings with clarity, promoting knowledge sharing and contributing to team learning.

• Actively participate in design reviews, providing insights from simulations to shape project directions and goals.

• Seek opportunities for professional development through feedback and collaboration with peers.

Potential Projects:

• Analyzing the performance and efficiency of new energy-efficient electrical systems.

• Conducting simulations to evaluate antenna designs and cable harness configurations.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to integrate simulation findings into physical prototypes and testing.

About You Required Qualifications

You'd be a great fit for this role if you:

• Hold a BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Have 5+ years of hands-on experience in simulations, specifically focusing on CFD and FEA methodologies.

• Demonstrate a solid understanding of HFSS simulations for RF applications, particularly in antennas and cable harnesses.

• Exhibit excellent communication skills for coordinating simulation activities across different time zones.

• Show strong analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple projects effectively, taking ownership of simulation outcomes.

• Advanced knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, linear and non-linear structural analysis, continuum mechanics, and advanced material models

Bonus Qualifications

We’d love it if you also have:

• Experience in electro-mechanical design and analysis.

• Knowledge of international safety and regulatory standards such as UL, NEC, IEC, and ISO.

• Familiarity with renewable energy technologies and their integration into electrical systems.
