Position Overview:

As a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer you will be a member of a team of analysis engineers supporting the design and development of conventional marine internal combustion engines, drive systems, electrified propulsion and vessels. In this role you will be responsible for conducting detailed/comprehensive simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software as detailed below.

At Brunswick, we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver.

Essential Functions:

• Conduct detailed/comprehensive simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software such as Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Ansys Fluent and/or other similar commercial software’s to model fluid behavior and heat transfer mechanisms.
• Perform comprehensive multiphase hydrodynamic analysis of propellers, drives, and boats using advanced CFD tools to simulate multiphase flow scenarios, including gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid-solid interactions.
• Work closely with design and development engineers to help provide design inputs and perform trade-off studies that will improve the product. This includes evaluating different design options and assessing their impact on performance, weight, cost, and recommending the best solutions.
• Collaborate with test engineers to specify the necessary testing and instrumentation required to validate analysis results. This includes designing test plans, selecting appropriate sensors, and ensuring accurate data collection.
• Work independently when needed to develop innovative solutions. Additionally, they must be adept at collaborating with cross-functional groups, including design, development, and test engineers, to achieve project goals.
• Coordinate work packages between onsite and offshore teams. This includes managing project timelines, ensuring clear communication between teams, and maintaining high standards of quality and consistency in deliverables.
• Document analysis findings and share results with stakeholders, engineering partners, and leaders. This includes preparing detailed reports, presenting findings in meetings, and providing actionable recommendations based on analysis results.
• Identify potential areas for new method development and work with experts to test and deploy.
• Continuously seeking opportunities for improving analysis processes, tools, and methodologies.

Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however, others can be developed along the way.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience performing CFD analysis using SIEMENS Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Ansys Fluent or similar commercial software.
• Strong fundamental understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.
• Exposure to numerical methods and engineering analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in the following areas: Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis, Multiphase and Phase Change analysis, Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI), Dynamic, Moving and Overset mesh, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
• CAD experience with Creo and Ansys SpaceClaim
• Usage of High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster with Linux OS
• Knowledge of test instrumentation (strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters, etc.)

The anticipated pay range for this position is $73,600 - $117,900 annually. The actual base pay offered will vary depending on multiple factors including job-related knowledge/skills, relevant experience, business needs, and geographic location. In addition to base pay, this position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus program.
