Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer
About The Position
About Rondo Energy Rondo Energy's mission is to eliminate 15% of global CO2 emissions in 15 years. To accomplish this mission, Rondo is deploying low-cost, zero-carbon Rondo Heat Batteries to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and to significantly decarbonize industrial processes that are commonly thought of as "difficult-to-decarbonize". Our Heat Batteries charge from intermittent renewables to provide high temperature, continuous heat for customers safely, reliably, at an unprecedented 98% efficiency - and at a cost point that is lower than any other method. We are seeking a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer to join our team and contribute to advancing our thermal and heat transfer modeling capabilities for industrial heat applications. This role will be responsible for building, optimizing, and troubleshooting large-scale CFD models, which will significantly impact the success of Rondo's Heat Batteries and our mission to reduce carbon emissions. Join our team, and together we can reduce global COâ emissions by 1% in 10 years, and by 15% in 15 years!
