Senior Engineer — Flow/Thermal Solver Developer

Gamma Technologies, LLC (GTI) is looking for a Senior Engineer – Flow/Thermal Solver Developer with a solid work ethic, excellent judgment, and a desire to build a long-term career with us. You should be highly organized and detail-oriented, with outstanding analytic and problem-solving abilities. It is also important that you are able to work effectively with minimal oversight, while also functioning well in a team environment.

Gamma Technologies develops, markets, and sells engineering simulation software (GT-SUITE). With roots in the automotive industry, GT’s software is leveraged by nearly all the world’s leading automotive manufacturers. Our solutions help automotive companies build more fuel-efficient vehicles that get better gas mileage and reduce emissions without sacrificing vehicle performance. The move from traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) powered by gasoline or diesel fuel to electrified vehicles presents an enormous market opportunity for GT as our software allows Electrical Vehicle manufactures and their suppliers to design better vehicles. Regulatory agencies globally have mandated that vehicle manufacturers reduce harmful environmental emission output, or they will face significant financial penalties and GT helps our clients address these mandates.

In addition to the automotive industry, GT serves the aerospace, HVAC, marine and other industries.

This position is based in Westmont, IL.
