A pioneering US clean‑energy technology company is seeking a highly skilled Thermofluids Engineer to drive the end-to-end development and analysis of critical thermal‑fluid systems for first‑of‑a‑kind modular energy platforms. This is a role for builders and innovators who thrive in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment where your work directly shapes the product.

• Lead conceptual design and analysis of thermal system components and loops for advanced clean‑energy systems.
• Drive multiscale thermal‑fluid analyses for complex internal turbulent flows, leveraging both high‑fidelity CFD models and system‑level tools.
• Develop and validate CFD and thermal‑hydraulic models to ensure performance, stability, and safety across major system components.
• Design and optimize thermal components including heat exchangers, piping networks, storage vessels, and pressure‑boundary systems.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional engineering teams to integrate thermal‑fluid solutions into plant‑level designs.
• Conduct structural, thermal, and fluid analyses using FEA and CFD to refine designs for manufacturability and deployment.
• Operate autonomously, driving projects from early concept through analysis and final design verification in a fast‑moving, high‑accountability environment.

• Proven experience as a Thermofluids Engineer or in a similar analytical role within power generation, clean‑energy systems, or complex industrial environments.
• Expert proficiency in CFD tools (ANSYS Fluent, STAR‑CCM+, OpenFOAM) and system‑level thermal‑hydraulic codes.
• Strong foundation in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and internal turbulent flow phenomena.
• Experience performing multiscale heat‑transfer analyses at both component and system levels.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving capabilities, with the ability to deliver high‑quality, actionable results.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working within a multidisciplinary, collaborative engineering team.
