Project Engineer - Advanced Development & Simulation
Rehlko•Sheboygan, WI
•$83,300 - $105,200
About The Position
The Project Engineer in Advanced Development & Simulation performs thermal and structural simulations of engine systems and electrical generator systems, including enclosures. The role uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and analytic methods to evaluate and optimize product performance and safety. It includes preparing CAD geometry for simulation, gathering simulation requirements from internal product teams, and performing experimental thermal and fluid-flow measurements to validate simulation assumptions and models.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
- Experience with commercial CAD tools and demonstrated ability to manage large CAD assemblies.
- Two years of experience successfully performing in a similar role, including graduate school or industry experience.
- Ability to meet performance goals, contribute to team outcomes, and apply knowledge and skills in real-world work environments.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Siemens STAR-CCM+.
- Experience with Altair FEA simulation products.
- Master's degree in mechanical engineering.
Responsibilities
- Use CFD tools, including STAR-CCM+ and uFx, to optimize engine thermal management systems such as fan designs, radiator core selection, and surrounding mechanical structures to meet generator-set cooling targets.
- Use analytic methods, including CFD, to model restrictions in piping systems such as fuel delivery and engine exhaust systems, confirming performance targets are met.
- Use structural simulation tools (FEA) to evaluate the safety and performance of engines and generator sets, including accessories such as tanks and enclosures.
- Prepare CAD geometry for structural and thermal simulation by reducing geometry complexity and size.
- Gather and organize simulation requirements from internal product teams, ensuring inputs and success criteria are available before simulations begin.
- Perform experimental thermal and fluid-flow measurements to validate simulation assumptions and modeling accuracy.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and benefits.
- Work-life flexibility.
- Recognition and rewards.
- Development and career opportunities.
- A safe and inclusive workplace.
- Health, vision, and dental benefits.
- 401(k) with Rehlko matching.
