About the role
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Master's degree preferred
7+ years of mechanical engineering experience with a focus on thermal-fluid systems with a focus on heat exchanger design, analysis, and development.
Demonstrated experience designing, analyzing, and optimizing heat exchangers (shell-and-tube, fined heat exchangers, heat sinks, printed circuit heat exchangers, heat pipes, etc) for high temperature applications.
Hands-on experience in testing of heat exchangers, energy, and power conversion systems.
Strong foundation in thermodynamics, conjugate heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermal coatings, with the ability to perform thermal and hydraulic sizing calculations
Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo, or similar) and experience designing complex flow paths and pressure-containing components
Experience with FEA and CFD software (ANSYS multiphysics, Nastran, or similar) for thermal stress analysis and fatigue life prediction under cyclic operating conditions
Familiarity with CFD tools for flow distribution, heat transfer optimization, and pressure drop analysis
Strong understanding of GD&T ASME Y14.5 and engineering drawing standards for precision-manufactured components
Knowledge of relevant standards and codes (ASME BPVC, TEMA, API, ISO) as applied to pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and rotating equipment
Experience designing for demanding operating environments, including thermal cycling, high-temperature creep, and corrosive or reactive working fluids
Experience with renewable energy systems, thermal energy storage, or concentrated solar power preferred
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
