Development Engineer (m/f/d) CFD

As a development engineer (m/f/d) you will be part of a global team in a research and development environment. With your experience in fluid dynamics and mechanical design of power transformers, you will develop new solutions and support the further improvement of existing products. Your focus will be on the enhancement of the preprocessor for CFD simulations, on thermal and hydraulic modeling related to transformers and special investigations, primarily using CFD tools.

• Conduct fluid dynamic simulations to enhance the thermal behavior of power transformers and reactors
• Improve the usability, accuracy, and computational performance of the CFD simulation tool for fluid flow and temperature analysis in transformer windings
• Analyze technical requirements within the transformer business to drive improvements
• Collaborate with experts in heating, cooling, and simulation to foster innovation
• Support engineering departments in factories with insights from CFD and thermal analysis
• Drive innovations, including enhancements in cooling design

• A university degree in fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related field
• Professional experience in thermal calculations and analysis specific to transformers
• Proficiency in CFD tools, particularly OpenFOAM and ANSYS Fluent
• Expertise in Python for customizing OpenFOAM and for scripting and automation, with a focus on clean, maintainable code
• Familiarity with engineering tools for heating and cooling calculations and understanding of standards and customer requirements for transformers
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a global team, with strong communication skills in English and knowledge of additional languages as an advantage
