Primary Responsibilities

  • Serve as subject matter expert in topics related to CFD including turbulent flow modeling techniques, acoustics, and heat transfer.

  • Design axial fan/stator systems to meet performance metrics including flow rate, blow force, pressure ratio, efficiency, stall margin, and noise reduction through use of CFD and reduced order modeling

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize product design to meet performance, size, cost, noise, and manufacturability requirements

  • Develop and validate analytical models to predict system behaviors across a range of operating conditions for tools such as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, string trimmers, BLDC motors, and other tools with rotary components

  • Perform experimental testing of system components and full tools to validate models and refine design methodologies

  • Develop design optimization techniques to improve power requirements, noise levels, and performance metrics for consumer products

  • Model airflow in complex environments to improve flow patterns, noise reduction, and heat transfer

  • Measure various properties and performance metrics to support new and mature product development

  • Prepare detailed design documentation and presentations to communicate analysis results, design recommendations, and project status to project stakeholders

  • Provide training to junior personnel in analytical tools, interpretation of results, and decision-making processes for successful airflow system design

  • Maintain current knowledge of developments in the field to recommend innovations that improve quality and effectiveness of company products

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, M.S. or Ph.D. preferred.

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with engineering design and analysis of turbomachinery at OEM, supplier, or consumer products company

  • Expertise with commercial CFD software (ANSYS Fluent or CFX preferred).

  • Must have experience designing rotor/stator systems for turbomachinery with strong background in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics

  • Enthusiasm toward simulation and a collaborative work environment

  • Willingness and ability to mentor junior engineers

  • Ability to work effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment that requires flexibility and rapid decision making

  • Strong written and oral communication skills

Desired Qualification

  • Experience with fluid-structure interaction (FSI), multi-physics analysis, discrete element methods (DEM), boundary element methods (BEM), and finite element analysis (FEA) using commercial software

  • Experience with design optimization tools including OptiSLang, adjoint shape optimization, and others

  • Knowledge of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis and ability to utilize NVH testing to reduce noise and vibration in finished good products

  • Prior work experience with development of consumer products is a big plus

Preferred Software Experience

ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent, CFX, BladeGen, OptiSLang, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, BK Connect, VB Excel, MATLAB, Python, LabView
