CFD Development Specialist

Process Development: You will play a vital role in developing the next generation of Direct Air Capture technology. As the fluid and heat flow dynamics specialist, you will support the rest of the Process Development team in modelling, validating and optimizing the Climeworks carbon capture process. 

CFD Analysis: You will perform CFD analysis in order to predict and optimize the fluid and heat flows at various scales — from small-scale modelling of our filter structures to large-scale atmospheric dispersion modelling that informs plant architecture and improves the CO2 removal capacity of our technology. 

Collaboration with Mechanical Design: You will collaborate closely with your mechanical design colleagues across departments. You will contribute to the design of new structures, vessels, and plant architectures. You will provide temperature, velocity, and other boundary conditions to our design engineers.  

Model Development: You drive the improvement roadmap for our CFD models. In collaboration with external partners, you will develop new techniques to enhance the accuracy and applicability of our simulations, including complex multiphase and multiphysics flows.  

Validation & Measurement: You plan, execute, and evaluate validation measurements, and draw meaningful conclusions from your findings. You will collaborate with our Testing teams in ensuring our models are robust and well-calibrated. 

Communication & Presentation: You communicate results, findings, and observations clearly and concisely to peers, and present them in technical reviews.
