• Develop and validate thermal models using advanced simulation tools and empirical experiments.

CFD Analysis:

• Conduct CFD simulations to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure distribution in systems and components.
• Create and refine CFD models, including meshing, boundary conditions, and solver settings.
• Interpret CFD results, identify key performance indicators, and provide recommendations for design improvements.
• Validate models using advanced simulation tools and empirical experiments.

Collaboration:

• Work closely with design engineers, mechanical engineers, and other team members to integrate thermal and fluid dynamics considerations into product designs.
• Provide technical support and guidance to resolve thermal and fluid flow-related issues.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Prepare detailed reports, presentations, and documentation of analysis results and recommendations.
• Communicate findings effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in thermal analysis and CFD methodologies.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of simulation tools and processes.

What You Will Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Master's degree is a plus.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in thermal analysis and CFD simulation.
• Proficiency in using simulation software such as ANSYS, Fluent, COMSOL, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics principles.
• Experience with numerical methods, mesh generation, and solver techniques.
• Ability to analyze complex simulation results and develop actionable insights.
• Proficiency in programming or scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for automation and data analysis is desirable
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
