We are looking for someone eager to join our team and help us fiercely pursue that level of ownership.

Your role keeps our company connected and we'll support you with what you need to be successful. Bring your creativity, ambitious spirit, and extreme attention to detail, and we'll help you grow, pursue, and fulfill what drives you – so we can deliver extraordinary solutions for a better tomorrow, together.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Proficiency with any of these CFD software packages: Cadence Reality DC Pro (formerly 6Sigma Room). Star CCM+, FloVENT, FloTHERM
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel
  • Proficiency in technical writing and presentation of technical information
  • Proficiency with generating compelling data visualizations
  • Solid grasp of engineering first principles
  • Effective presentation and communication skills
  • A constant curiosity and desire to improve
  • Possess a positive attitude

Ideally, you'll also have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Visual Basic, Python, or other programming skills
  • Portfolio of previous work
