We are currently recruiting for a Thermodynamics / Simulations Engineer to join our clients successful team for a project, with the duration of a year. Once this project is over, there may be the possibility for the role to become a permanent feature within the company.
Thermodynamics / Simulations Engineer candidates MUST have a Mechanical Engineering degree, with a minimum of a 2:1 classification. Candidates must be familiar with 1D thermodynamics simulations, ideally GT Power. However, familiarity with MatLab or Labview would also be considered.
Thermodynamics / Simulations Engineer candidates must be familiar with modeling combustion engines and the relative strengths and weaknesses of different modelling techniques, as well as have a solid grasp of compressible flow dynamics. Thermodynamics / Simulations Engineer candidates must also be comfortable modelling mechanical and electrical systems with bespoke equations and plug-ins.
Thermodynamics / Simulations Engineer candidates will need excellent analytical and mathematical skills and be capable of publishing your results as well as the personal skills to work with customers and represent the company at conferences. You must exhibit strong analytical skills, detailed knowledge of thermodynamics systems including engines, turbines, and compressors, as well as the ability to cope with electrical systems models. You will be mathematical, methodical, and probably a perfectionist!
The best candidate for the role of Thermodynamics Engineer will be able to perform engine modeling and computer simulation of electronics, and mechanical systems, as the company develops licenses to showcase how electro charging can improve current engine systems.
You will work closely with a major UK vehicle manufacturer and universities (London Imperial College) during a high-profile 1-year project.
You will work on be introducing mechanical systems into engine models using software (MatLab/Labview) to improve efficiency/electrical output/torque.
With your understanding of mechanical systems (which would have been taken from hands on/practical experience whether at university or work) you will introduce different types of mechanical systems into engine models to improve electrical output.
You will be working on your own predominantly and will work on site and at London Imperial college (the split will be determined by location of candidate, they are willing to be flexible)
You will work solely on one project for the first year the value of which will be between 100-200k
You will build simulations with the help of collaborating partners, being yourself ultimately responsible for the design and execution of complex simulations.
This role is initially a 1 year contract to work on a specific project, however, after this time, the role is likely to become permanent.
