Senior Engineer

Job Responsibilities

Senior Engineers for Westmont, IL location. Research, develop and test mathematical models of fluid and thermal system models in engine and powertrain systems, including fluid and thermodynamics with viscous and inviscid flow dynamics, heat transfer, thermophysical properties of gases and liquids. Develop algorithms for numerical computing to simulate reactive systems involving multi-phase and turbulent flows, diffusion and reaction kinetics, combustion processes, optimization of flow and thermal behavior, flame propagation in laminar and turbulent flows for internal combustion engines. Work to optimize flow and thermal behavior of engine components. Perform combustion and emissions modeling involving pre-mixed and diffusion flame, turbulent flame propagation.  Perform laminar and turbulent flow analysis for internal combustion engines. Apply developed models to company’s licensed computer-aided engineering product used for the simulation, analysis and design of engines, powertrain and vehicle systems.Technical Skills:  GT-Suite, 1-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), CFD code parallelization, Fortran, C/C++, Python, fluid/thermal analysis solvers, GPU Solver, Fluent, StarCD, Converge, ANSYS/Matlab, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, air flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, energy conservation, combustion, system modeling, HiL, SiL, Navier-Stokes equations, OpenMP, CUDA, MPI.

Requirements:

PhD in Mechanical Engineering plus 1 year of experience in the job offered or as a mechanical engineer or mechanical engineering researcher required. Required Specific Skills: Must have previous education and/or experience with fluid dynamics and computational fluid dynamics (CFD); turbulent flow and fluid solver tools using C/C++ and FORTRAN with focus on heat and mass transfer, energy conservation, multi-phase flow and turbulence; optimization tools (OpenMP, CUDA, MPI) parallelization of CFD codes for use in multiple GPU solver; numerical methods for solving Navier-Stokes equations for reactive flow fields.
