Project Engineer

Job Description:

Simerics Inc. is a global technology company that develops, markets, and

supports Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software widely used by OEMs and

suppliers in various industries all over the world, with applications in

automotive, hydraulics, marine and aerospace. The Simerics team is comprised of

scientists and engineers who have been among the pioneers in the development and

application of multipurpose computational physics since the early 1980s. This

knowledge and experience are combined with new advances in computational

physics, computational geometry, and software engineering to provide our clients

with the next generation of simulation tools. Our team members are smart,

motivated, friendly, and interesting people, most of whom hold a Ph.D.

Simerics Inc. offers two state-of-art general-purpose CFD tools: Simerics-MP and

Simerics-MP+. Simerics-MP features a parallel solver that yields accurate and

fast simulation for multi-purpose (MP) applications involving single-phase or

multiphase flow, turbulence, cavitation/aeration, heat and mass transfer,

particle and fluid-structure interaction. Simerics-MP+ includes all the

capabilities of Simerics-MP with additional features such as streamlined setup

procedures, automated mesh/re-mesh for key components especially moving

components.

With our continued expansion in the industry, we are currently seeking CFD

project engineers to help meet the increasing demand in our Detroit office. The

project engineer is responsible for providing expertise and developing CFD

methods and will work closely with the customer and solver developers to

communicate simulation results and recommendations. The candidate will use

Simerics’ own software Simerics-MP/Simerics-MP+ to perform required simulations,

in conjunction with Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools such as SolidWorks, PTC

Creo, SpaceClaim, Python, and etc.

Detailed job responsibilities include:

CFD/CAE Applications:

• Develop 3D simulation models for various thermal/fluid applications including

electric motor cooling for electric cars, battery cooling, fuel injection, oil

splash in transmission gearbox, positive displacement pumps, valves, vehicle

thermal management, and etc.

• Research and development of new methods and simulation processes to provide

fast and accurate simulation strategy for customer’s product development.

• Analyze the dominant physics involved in the system (flow, multiphase,

cavitation/aeration, pressure ripple, temperature, torque/power)

• Identify the critical parameters and perform optimization to improve product

performance and design

• Interpret simulation results and prepare high-quality presentations.

• Participate in conferences and publish research articles.

Technical Training/Support:

• Provide modeling and simulation guidance and assistance to the users of

Simerics, from pre-processing in CAD, simulation setup to post-processing.

• Training and interact with customers to analyze the technical needs, deliver

reports and reviews, and provide solutions to clients’ technical challenges.

• Prepared and presented technical documents to show the features and

capabilities of Simerics at conferences client meetings.

Required Qualifications:

• A Ph.D. degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or similar discipline with

emphasis on thermal fluid. Or a master's degree with 3+ years equivalent

industrial experience.

• Solid understanding of numerical methods, such as finite volume and finite

difference methods.

• Strong technical background in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics.

• Highly motivated and dynamic, strong interpersonal and communication skills,

be a team player

• Demonstrated skills in writing and presenting in fluent English

Desired Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience programming in C, C++, FORTRAN, or Python.

• Familiarity with Linux and parallel computation.

• Experience with the use of commercial and/or non-commercial CFD tools in

solving flow problems.

• Experience in multiphase flow, phase change.

• CAD experience (SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, AutoCAD, or NX).

We sponsor H1-B working visa, but only the candidates in the US will be

considered at this time. If interested, please send your CV to the hiring

manager, Dr. Chiranth Srinvasan, at cs@simerics.com.
