Modeling and Simulation Engineer, Thermofluid mechanics

What You’ll Do

• Identify critical system attributes and develop computational models for current and future manufacturing machines, with an emphasis on structural, thermal, and fluid systems.
• Define figures of merit, boundary conditions, and operating conditions based on system requirements and cross-functional input.
• Build and deploy multiphysics simulations, including thermal, mechanical, and fluid models, using finite element and/or finite volume methods for both steady-state and transient analyses.
• Deliver executable computational models that support sensitivity analysis, design exploration, and optimization.
• Propose validation experiments and use experimental results to calibrate, validate, and improve models.
• Document simulation methods, assumptions, and validation results, and communicate findings clearly to the broader team.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with prototype engineers, designers, and AI engineers.

What You’ll Need

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in multiphysics modeling and simulation following completion of a bachelor’s degree (or recent PhD).
• Strong foundation in multiphysics simulation, with particular depth in structural mechanics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.
• Programming experience, especially in Python, and experience automating simulation workflows for design and optimization.
• Experience with COMSOL and/or Ansys; experience with Abaqus, Siemens tools, or related software is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Resourceful, flexible, and adaptable approach to technical work.
• Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in engineering, physics, or a related field.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with CAD tools such as Onshape, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, NX, or similar.
• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools such as JMP, MATLAB, pandas, or matplotlib.
• Industry experience with product development processes such as Agile or similar frameworks.

Salary Range: $190,000—$215,000 USD (includes equity and benefits).
