You will design, model, and simulate cooling solutions for solar panels end-to-end — from CAD geometry through CFD and structural analysis to validated prototype design. You will also play a key role in protecting our intellectual property by assisting with the patenting of the product. Your work will directly drive prototype iteration and product decisions.
Job Responsibility:
Design cooling solution geometries in CAD and iterate on them based on simulation results
Build and run CFD simulations (steady-state and transient) of airflow and heat transfer around PV modules
Model conjugate heat transfer between panels, cooling media, and ambient environment
Perform structural analysis (FEA) of the cooling solution, including coupled thermal-structural and wind/load cases
Develop and validate thermal and structural models against experimental data
Assist with patenting the product: contribute to invention disclosures, technical drawings, and descriptions, and collaborate with patent counsel during prosecution
Collaborate with the hardware team on prototype design, manufacturing, and testing
Requirements:
MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
3+ years of hands-on CFD experience (ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or similar)
Proven expertise in CAD design (SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, Fusion 360, or similar)
Strong experience with FEA and structural analysis, including coupled thermal-structural simulations
Strong fundamentals in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and turbulence modeling
Experience with meshing, solver setup, and post-processing
Ability to validate simulations against physical test data
Background in solar/PV thermal management
Scripting (Python, MATLAB) for automation and post-processing
What we offer:
Competitive salary and equity
Fully remote position
Direct ownership of a high-impact technical problem, including named inventorship on resulting patents
Collaborative team working on meaningful climate technology
