Within the team for hydraulic component development and fluid dynamics, we are seeking a skilled and motivated CFD Engineer to join our team on a 1-year fixed-term contract. The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for conducting Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and multi-objective optimization to support ongoing projects. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to technically challenging work in a collaborative and innovative environment.
Key Responsibilities
· Pre-process geometry and mesh generation using industry-standard tools.
· Perform CFD simulations to model fluid flow in hydraulic systems and components (e.g., pumps, pipes).
· Develop and execute multi-objective optimization workflows.
· Analyze and interpret simulation results, generating comprehensive technical reports and visualizations.
· Support design optimization and performance assessment through CFD-driven insights.
· Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical engineers, civil engineers, and project managers.
· Participate in project meetings and provide technical input
· Maintain documentation of simulation methodologies, assumptions, and outcomes.
· Stay current with best practices and advancements in CFD software and techniques.
Qualifications and Experience
· Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, or a related field.
· Proven experience with CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, CFX, CFD++, STAR-CCM+, or similar.
· Strong understanding of fluid dynamics principles, particularly in turbomachinery.
· Experience with pre-processing tools (e.g., ANSA, ANSYS Meshing, ICEM CFD) and post-processing tools (e.g., ParaView, Tecplot).
· Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for workflow automation and optimization.
· Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.
· Strong written and verbal communication skills.
· Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines independently.
Desirable Skills
· Experience in turbomachinery simulations, particularly centrifugal pump
· Experience with multi-objective optimization and surrogate modeling techniques.
· Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) for geometry preparation.
