    • Build 3D CAD models of RHB components using commercial CAD software packages
    • Assist in the validation of models through comparison with experimental data and field measurements
    • Generate detailed documentation of simulation results for internal and external stakeholders
    • Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate thermal modeling insights into the overall product design process
    • Contribute to the development and improvement of in-house tools for thermal analysis
    What You Will Bring:
    • Master's degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent industry experience
    • 5+ years of experience, preferably in thermal design engineering and first-principles
    • Strong knowledge and understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, CFD, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics fundamentals
    • Fluency in SOLIDWORKS is a plus
    • Experience with commercial CFD software such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, or OpenFOAM
    • Solid analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
    • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
    • Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
    Bonus Points
    • Ph.D. degree in mechanical or related field
    • Familiarity with programming languages for scripting
    • Experience working in one or more of the following is a plus: High temperature applications, Steam/Superheated Gas Processing Systems, Furnace Systems, Fluid/Chemical Process Systems, Industrial Systems
    What We Offer:
    • Comprehensive Medical Benefits
