General Dynamics Electric Boat
Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer
General Dynamics Electric Boat, New London, Connecticut, us, 06320
Overview
Electric Boat is extensively using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to solve complex thermal-fluid related problems addressed by the U.S. Navy submarine community. Analyses are performed using in-house hybrid and third party hybrid unstructured solvers, and are typified by large scale models. The geometrically detailed and highly resolved models require high-performance computing using massively parallel processing techniques. The applications are varied and include attached high Reynolds number submarine flows, turbo-machinery flows, thermal-fluid and multiphase flows. We are seeking a thermal analyst that will be responsible for performing all phases of heat transfer analyses, including geometry preparation, high-quality grid generation, analysis, post-processing, and reporting of results. The analyst will collaborate with stakeholders to influence key aspects of the submarine design and interface with the NAVY and other stakeholders as required.
Electric Boat offers Flexible Work Arrangements that allow some work to be performed remotely and at home. This varies by position based on the amount of classified material the department interacts with and other variables. Please ask for details on how it applies to this opening during discussions with the department.
