Job Summary

Own the fluid simulation domain developing reusable CFD templates and playbooks for water-based systems.

Simulate internal flows pressure drops and leak paths in faucets valves seals and polymer components.

Correlate virtual results with physical tests achieving high accuracy in flow rate pressure and leakage metrics.

Calibrate fluid models using lab data and integrate material properties for metals polymers and composites.

Automate CFD workflows using Python and Fluent enabling scalable meshing parametric sweeps and post-processing.

Integrate AI/ML techniques to:

  1. Build surrogate models for rapid design screening.
  2. Apply active learning to reduce the number of physical tests.
  3. Support uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis.

Collaborate with lab technicians to ensure high-quality instrumentation and data acquisition for model validation.

Contribute to simulation governance including credibility reports correlation matrices and KPI dashboards.

Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices in fluid simulation and digital validation.

Bring a creative curious and collaborative mindset to a fast-paced innovation-driven environment.


Qualifications :

Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering Fluid Mechanics or a related field from an accredited institution.

Minimum of 58 years of experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a strong focus on internal flows leakage and pressure-driven systems.

Proven expertise in simulating water flow pressure drop and leak paths in consumer hardware products such as faucets valves and seals.

Proficiency in CFD tools such as Ansys Fluent. Strong understanding of turbulence modeling multiphase flow and conjugate heat transfer.

Ability to build and manage parametric models for design optimization and performance-to-cost analysis.

Proficiency in Python for automating simulation workflows including meshing parametric sweeps and post-processing.

Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams including lab technicians product engineers and data analysts.

Strong documentation skills contribute to simulation playbooks credibility reports and correlation matrices.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Masters degree in mechanical engineering Fluid Dynamics or a related discipline.

Proven experience in simulating water systems including faucets valves seals and O-rings with a focus on leak path prediction and pressure-flow optimization.

Deep understanding of multiphase flow cavitation and fluid-structure interaction in consumer hardware applications.

Experience correlating CFD results with real-world lab tests including flow rate pressure drop and leakage detection.

Familiarity with accelerated environmental testing (e.g. humidity corrosion) and its impact on fluid performance.

Proficiency in Python-based automation for CFD workflows including mesh generation parametric sweeps and post-processing.

Experience integrating AI/ML models into simulation pipelines: Building surrogate models for rapid design screening.

Applying active learning to reduce physical test requirements.

Supporting uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis.

Knowledge of model validation frameworks (e.g. ASME V&V NASA-style credibility reports).

Ability to contribute to simulation playbooks correlation matrices and credibility documentation.

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills especially with lab technicians product engineers and data analysts.
