Responsibilities

Build Multiphysics models (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element (FEA), Electric current and Electrochemical models) of complex reactor systems to support product and process development.
Collaborate with global engineering teams across the US, Europe, and Asia to simulate and solve multi-physics problems.
Simulate process conditions including structural, flow, thermal, chemical reactions, and mass transport to inform and optimize design decisions.
Recommend design solutions based on simulation results and engineering analysis.
Develop and execute design of experiments (DOE) and conduct lab experiments to validate simulation results using quantitative metrics.
Own the full lifecycle of computational modeling projects—from problem definition and model development to result evaluation, documentation, and design implementation support.
Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including thermo-mechanical, fatigue (high and low cycle), and non-linear analysis to ensure mechanical design integrity.
Generate technical reports, publications, and presentations; communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.
Contribute to the development of Intellectual Property (IP) through innovative modeling and simulation work.
