We are currently seeking a talented and team-oriented Senior Thermal Engineer to work on simulating the effect of thermal loads on laser optics and optics mounts as well as modelling the interaction of a laser beam with metal powder and designing experiments to prove the simulations.
General Description: Seurat Technologies is seeking a talented and self-motivated senior thermal Engineer. For all candidates, expertise in computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis is required. The ideal candidate demonstrates expert analytical and possibly hands-on experience in dealing with thermal effects caused by high power laser beams passing through optical elements and interacting with mechanical systems. Experience in modelling laser-matter interaction where the matter (metals) absorbs laser light and transforms it into heat and melts metal powder into a pool is also very valuable for this position.
Job Duties:
- Simulate the thermal loads on optics and optical mounts in a complex high power optical system.
- Simulate the effect of laser-matter interaction with metal powder and simulating the geometry of the liquid pool of metal and its interaction with the underlying solid metal.
- Strong communications skills, both verbal and written.
- Must be able to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
Skills/Qualifications:
- 4+ years of experience in related thermal modeling fields, with proficiency with Ansys Fluent, Ansys Mechanical.
- Proficient with computational fluid dynamics (Ansys CFD).
- Knowledge of Solidworks is a big plus.
- Knowledge of Material Science is a plus.
- Knowledge of SigFit or similar software is a plus.
- Experience in a manufacturing environment is a plus.
Education/Experience:
- MS in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optics or other related fields.
Travel:
Expectation is up to 15%
