Description:
The ideal candidate would demonstrate either a fluid mechanics and/or numerical modeling background at either the Bachelors or Masters level. I do not expect extensive or hyper specific experience related to 3D multiphase RANS modeling; but some demonstration of general numerical modeling concepts and fluid mechanics would be very beneficial. The ideal candidate will have strong technical skills, including proficiency in using one or more various modeling and simulation software and/or numerical methods. They should possess analytical skills, enabling them to approach complex problems methodically and develop solutions. Additionally, the candidate should demonstrate organizational skills, ensuring they can manage multiple projects and tasks efficiently. The candidate must exhibit a strong problem-solving ability, with a knack for identifying root causes of technical issues and implementing effective solutions. Adaptability is crucial, as they will need to learn new software, techniques, and methodologies quickly and effectively. A proactive attitude and student mentality are essential, along with the perseverance to tackle challenging tasks. The ideal candidate will be able to contribute positively to team dynamics, maintain a continuous learning mindset, and strive for professional development.
Must be a U.S Citizen to be considered.
