Engineer CFD - Design Analysis & Simulation

Job Purpose

The CFD Analysis Engineer will be responsible for providing fluid/thermal analysis for agricultural (tractors, combines, harvesters, sprayers) and construction machines (excavators, wheel loaders, loader backhoes).

As a member of the CFD Team, he will be supporting the design of components and subsystems like:

• A/C & HVAC systems
• Engine cooling packages
• Hydraulics
• Transmissions
• Engine air intakes & exhausts

Key Responsibilities

Develops virtual simulation models using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for the evaluation of engineering designs of agricultural and construction machinery.

Makes recommendations to peers and direct manager based on sound engineering principles, practices and judgment pertaining to thermal/fluid problems as a contribution to the overall engineering and manufacturing objectives.

Utilizes Star CCM+, Ensight, ANSYS Fluent, GT-Power, Actran Creo, TeamCenter and relevant software to develop and simulate designs for cooling packages, exhaust systems, engine air intakes, HVAC systems, transmissions, and other relevant components being developed and/or improved.

Performs engineering calculations for emissions, chemical reactions, sprays, thermal, airflow, hydraulic, aero-acoustic, particle flows, and refrigeration problems to determine the size and performance of assemblies and parts and to solve design problems.

Incorporates engineering standards, methodologies and global product development processes into daily work tasks.

Experience Required

MS Degree in Engineering or comparable program, with 7 years of professional industry experience.

Good knowledge of the Computational Fluid Dynamics field.

Some knowledge in the areas of underhood engine cooling, two-phase flows, and climatization.

Knowledge of exhaust after treatment analysis; familiarity with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reactors), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters), or DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts).

Some basic knowledge and understanding of aero-acoustics and fan noise

Preferred Qualifications

Masters degree in mechanical engineering from reputed institute
