This position is an opportunity to work at the forefront of our company´s innovative usage of digital simulation within industrial and research environments. FlexCompute's CFD solver, Flow360, is the fastest CFD simulation tool available today. Flow360's speed allows automated design exploration and optimization to the simulation toolkit of every engineer allowing you to efficiently explore the entire design space instead of focusing on single-point design scenarios.

KEYWORDS: CFD, Simulation, Mechanical Engineer, Computational Fluid Dynamics

OVERVIEW

The Application Engineer is responsible for ensuring the technical success of our customers in their use of FlexCompute's software. Working closely with customers to understand their engineering and CFD workflows, the Application Engineer proposes solutions and best practices to help the client meet their objectives as well as improve their processes. The role includes performing a case study using Flow360, providing technical support and training to customers, drafting application notes and tutorials, contributing to business and product development. The position also works with the sales organization to discover opportunities to grow software usage within accounts and engage the customer to realize that growth.

Excellent communication skills and a desire to work with clients are critical to success in this fast-paced and broad engineering role. If you are creative, entrepreneurial, and possess excellent communication skills, we would like to hear from you.

The role will be based in our Boston, MA office. Our clients are working on a wide range of applications including conjugate heat transfer (CHT), fluid-structure interaction (FSI), combustion, and multiphase flows. We are also providing IT support to direct customers and cloud computing service providers covering a wide range of topics including installation, licensing remote display, and high-performance computing (HPC) cluster configurations.

This successful candidate is expected to have a strong background in CFD.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Perform CFD and/or hardware focused benchmark simulations and test cases to explore new methods, define best practices, and verify results.

• Using all aspects of CFD technology proficiently: software installation, licensing, HPC cluster configuration, CAD handling, meshing, solving, complex physics modeling, post-processing.

• Act as the primary point of contact to an assigned set of accounts for all technical issues related to their use of Flow360. Identify engineering and IT problems and take responsibility for their successful resolution.

• Facilitate the sales process in developing account intelligence, pursuing opportunities for growth of software usage, and assisting in software deployment.

• Conduct training on introductory and advanced topics in Flow360.

• Conduct technical discussions with customers to collect and understand simulation and IT requirements, propose solutions, and explain the benefits of our approach.

• Work on multiple projects and support engagements simultaneously.

• Collaborate with product management and industry teams to provide input on future product direction. Communicate and demonstrate new software capabilities to customers.

• Following and using new modeling techniques and features introduced in Flow360 releases. Finding new application areas and creating new simulation examples.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS, EDUCATION, AND EXPERIENCE

• B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related field with a focus on computational methods and fluid dynamics.

• Successful application of CFD methods to meet real-world goals in research or design. • Basic understanding of IT hardware and software systems. Knowledge of standard command-line tools in Linux and Windows for IT administration tasks.

• Familiarity with meshing complex geometries, turbulence modeling, and simulation post-processing.

• Experience with programming in a modern programming language.

• Ability to learn new skills and adapt to customer application needs.

• Excellent communication, organization, time management, and presentation skills.

• Proficiency with CFD simulation applications such as internal/external flows, transonic/supersonic flows, conjugate heat transfer, transient analysis, or multiphase applications

• Working knowledge of common design processes, objectives, and constraints for industrial applications.

• Experience with HPC system administration. Basic knowledge of interconnects hardware, parallel file systems. Experience with cluster benchmarking.
