  • Explain, present, and document that story in a concise, meaningful way in terms that may be understood by technical or non-technical stakeholders.
  • Follow and eventually help to improve upon FMA Group proprietary methods of technical report writing.
  • Support engineering teams need for rapid analysis of alternative design solutions, delivered with accuracy and high confidence.
  • Collaborate with other CFD analysts at delivering work on multiple fast-track projects simultaneously.

We strive to do this every day by infusing design projects with innovative solutions informed with advanced simulation tools. 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:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering
  • At least 2 years of experience in HVAC systems and design
  • 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

Posted Salary Range: Minimum $74,700.00 to Upper $102,700.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
