CFD Analysis Engineer/ Specialist

Ballard’s Modeling Team has a full-time position for a CFD Analysis Engineer to work in Product Development. This position will mainly focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis to support and validate critical fuel cell stack and system designs.

• Use CFD tools to evaluate fuel cell stack and system designs to meet fluid flow, thermal and electrical requirements.
• Develop, validate and maintain specific CFD simulation models in support of the fuel cell design process.
• Provide critical technical input for design reviews during the development phase (Fuel Cell Stack and Fuel Cell Systems) using modeling results and engineering analysis.
• Provide Product Development engineers with ability to leverage modeling tools to advance their designs with considerations for alternative design solutions.
• Use CFD analysis methods to support fuel cell stack design verification process.
• Evaluate tolerance ranges and design limits as part of the analysis to provide design trade offs to optimize design.
• Collaborate with engineers to agree on CFD analysis scope of work, plan effectively and execute to agreed plan.

Qualifications :

• A MSc. degree in Applied Science or Engineering with at least 5-7 years of related experience.
• Working knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and electrical processes and their governing equations.
• Electrochemistry knowledge is not required, but it is considered an important asset.
• Combustion CFD experience is not required, but it is considered an important asset.
• Very familiar with CFD / CAD / meshing tools such Ansys Fluent, SpaceClaim, COMSOL, CREO and Hypermesh is preferred
• Knowledge / experience with computer programming languages such as Matlab, C, C++, Python, Fortran.
• Experience with testing methods, measurement tools and model validation studies is preferred.
• Very good capability using analysis tools for design activities.
• Comfortable with drawings and design standards.
• Capability and some experience with analytical and numerical mathematical methods for solving differential equations (ordinary and partial).
