You will work closely with senior engineers and specialists, project managers, and clients to deliver high-quality simulation results that meet our clients’ needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set up and conduct CFD simulations of, for example, HVAC systems for the life science industry.
• Analyze and interpret simulation data to provide actionable insights and recommendations.
• Use CFD models to improve designs, enhancing performance, reducing energy consumption and ensuring compliance.
• Collaborate with senior engineers and specialists to develop and validate simulation models.
• Prepare and present detailed reports and presentations of simulation findings for clients.
• Assist in the development of best practices, automation and methodologies for  simulations in the life science industry and beyond.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in CFD technologies.
• Participate in project meetings and contribute to project planning and execution.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with a strong foundation in fluid dynamics courses.
