Background

Currently, we are seeking qualified CFD Sr. Analyst candidates for modeling Dishwashing, Laundry, and Cooking Systems.

Their main responsibility will be to provide CFD analyses to support engineering teams in the product development process for current project initiatives, architecture development, and cost-reduction actions for current production.

As a CFD Sr. Engineer, you will apply computational fluid dynamics expertise, primarily using Ansys solutions such as Fluent, Icepak, Adjoint, and Ensight, to drive innovation in appliance design across refrigeration, cooking, laundry, and dishwashing systems. You will optimize airflow, thermal performance, noise characteristics, and efficiency across product lines.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and execute CFD simulations using Ansys Fluent, CFX, Icepak, or Mechanical to support appliance system design and performance validation.
- Model various refrigeration, cooking, laundry, or dishwashing systems and optimize thermal-fluid behavior within components such as evaporators, ducts, fans, heating elements, and moisture zones.
- Employ advanced techniques like adjoint-based optimization for flow shaping and pressure reduction, enhancing performance metrics (e.g., velocity uniformity and pressure drop).
- Conduct aeroacoustics simulations to assess and mitigate noise in appliance environments.
- Handle preprocessing (geometry and meshing – structured, unstructured, dynamic), solver setup, and post-processing of results using tools like Fluent Meshing, SpaceClaim, and Ensight.
- Validate CFD models against experimental or prototype testing to ensure fidelity and guide design adjustments.
- Document methodologies and findings clearly; present results and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams, including product, design, and R&D; engineers.




- Innovate CFD workflows (e.g., automation and high-fidelity setups) to reduce iteration time and improve insight quality.

Qualifications What You Need to Succeed (Minimum):

- Master’s degree or equivalent in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive, Thermal, or a similar discipline.
- Proven 6+ years of experience using Ansys CFD tools in product development.
- Solid understanding of heat transfer, multiphase flow, turbulence, and related fluid dynamics principles.
- Proficiency in meshing strategies and handling complex geometry using Ansys DesignModeler, SpaceClaim, etc.
- Experience with dynamic meshing (e.g., moving frames and rotating components) or multiphase modeling.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication abilities, with the ability to support cross-functional teams and present complex results clearly.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python.
- Exposure to software such as ModeFrontier.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; fluency in English.
- Experience with multiphysics coupling, HPC clusters, or adjoint optimization workflows.
- Strong collaboration skills and a self-reliant, solution-oriented approach.

Preferred

- 6 or more years of experience using Ansys Fluent, Fluent Meshing, SpaceClaim, and Ansys meshing techniques.
- Experience in CFD simulation of turbulent fluid flow, convective heat transfer, etc.
- Industry experience in automotive, aerospace, HVAC, or similar high-complexity fields.
- PTC Creo modeling experience.
- Fluency in English.

Performance Indicators
- Accuracy of CFD predictions validated against physical testing.
- Speed and efficiency in delivering simulation-based recommendations.
- Reduction in prototyping needs through robust simulation workflows.
- Effectiveness in communicating insights and driving design improvements.
