  • Document and post-process simulation results in an organized manner
  • Develop test plans and support the test team in gathering data from physical systems
  • Iterate simulation models to achieve strong correlation and build confidence in results
  • Use simulation models and tools to identify root causes of issues observed during testing and provide feedback to improve reliability

Requirements:

  • Hold a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent relevant educational credential
  • Have 5+ years of experience in thermal and/or fluid analysis
  • Demonstrate strong proficiency in STAR-CCM+ or similar analysis tools
  • Possess the ability to run large simulation models on HPC clusters
  • Communicate simulation results effectively in both oral and written formats
  • Exhibit strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate in a dynamic team environment
  • Bring hands-on experience in testing automotive components

Nice to have:

  • Experience with multi-phase simulations (e.g., VoF or Mixture Multi-Phase) is a significant plus
  • Familiarity with 1D analysis tools is considered a bonus
What we offer:
  • Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
