OpenFOAM Simulation Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled OpenFOAM Simulation Engineer to join our engineering and simulation team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) using OpenFOAM and will contribute to solving complex fluid flow, heat transfer, and multiphysics problems across industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and process engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, run, and analyze CFD simulations using OpenFOAM.
• Develop custom solvers, boundary conditions, and utilities when required.
• Pre-process geometry and mesh generation (snappyHexMesh, blockMesh, etc.).
• Post-process simulation data and prepare detailed technical reports.
• Validate simulation results with analytical solutions or experimental data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support design and R&D projects.
• Optimize simulation workflows for accuracy, stability, and efficiency.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/Master’s/Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience with OpenFOAM (solvers, meshing, case setup, post-processing).
• Strong knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.
• Experience with meshing tools (snappyHexMesh, cfMesh, ANSA, or similar).
• Proficiency in Linux/Unix environments.
• Familiarity with Python/Matlab/ParaView for data handling and visualization.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in turbulence modeling (RANS, LES, DNS).
• Familiarity with multiphase flow, combustion, or aeroacoustics simulations.
• Scripting for automation of simulation workflows.
• Background in high-performance computing (HPC).
