Thermofluids Lead Engineer (Remote)

We are searching for a Lead Engineer who will work closely with Design, Production, and Application Engineering to support product development and provide design guidance. In this role you will work systematically to make informed decisions and apply skills in the areas of 1D Hydraulic and Thermodynamic simulations and, secondarily, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models, to issues of mixed complexity. The Lead Engineer is based out of INNIO’s Warsaw, Poland office and is primary responsible for constructing 1D and 3D system circuit models for the accurate simulation of gas engine lubrication, cooling and ventilation systems, correlating model results with test data, and developing design predictability to speed up Time to Market.

What INNIO offers you:

• An innovative and international working environment
• Work on industry leading solutions
• Flexible working time model, possibility of remote work
• Convenient office location in the city center
• The company’s bike/locker room
• Private Medical Care
• Life insurance
• Co-financing of the pension pillar
• Travel opportunities to our offices in Austria
• Career development programs/opportunities
• Trainings

Responsibilities:

• Familiar with the design requirements of reciprocating engine’s critical components such as lubrication and cooling pumps, heat exchangers, and other engine cooling components and systems to assess critical to quality (CTQ’s) performance for each of these components and their impacts on overall system performance
• Constructing accurate 1D hydraulic and 3D CFD models, to conduct various analyses of the engine cooling, lubrication and ventilation systems under a variety of steady-state and transient operation.
• Ability to critically interpret 1D and CFD results to quantify hardware impacts on component and/or engine performance to help drive the engine design and address issues that arise during the engine development process.
• Must be able to provide required inputs from model and drawing study to support FEA and CFD team to analyze and improve current designs including detailing the required boundary conditions.
• Define simulation, experimental project requirements and objectives, define timelines, and ensure on-time completion of projects.
• Develop domain expertise, automate processes, and share knowledge with peers and the INNIO community through technical reports.
• Must possess excellent verbal, written communication skills and strong technical presentation skills.
• Must possess a strong desire to learn, investigate, and solve technical issues in a collaborative team environment.

• Minimum of bachelor’s with master’s degree or higher preferred in Mechanical Engineering or another engineering discipline with mechanical work experience
• Ability to develop strong interpersonal relationships with customers.
• Demonstrates strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communications skills
• Proficient with Microsoft Office Products (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc.)
• Commitment to safety, customer service quality and to work in team-oriented environment.
• Prior experience that demonstrates a strong work ethic and ability to multi-task.
• Operates daily with a sense of urgency, ownership, and commitment to team.
• 6+ years’ experience (preferred) in hydraulic-thermofluid and CFD modeling. Conjugate heat transfer analyses of engine component and systems (preferably those of natural gas engines) using GT-Suite/GT-Power and CFD using ANSYS CFX and CONVERGE is a plus.
