The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer will establish and lead the company's CFD modeling capabilities to support the development, optimization and validation of Anaergia's core technologies. Working from concept modeling through to product deployment, the CFD Engineer will analyze multiphase fluid systems, interpret simulation results, develop design recommendations, and contribute to the engineering of next-generation equipment for the solid waste, wastewater, and renewable energy sectors.
The CFD Engineer will apply practical CFD methods to improve Anaergia's anaerobic digester mixing designs, with emphasis on submersible mixer applications and pump/hydraulic mixing configurations. The role will translate simulation results into actionable design recommendations for mixer selection, tank geometry, nozzle or pump recirculation arrangements, operating strategies, and retrofit improvements. The position is intended for an engineer with relevant experience who can independently execute well-defined CFD studies while growing into broader ownership of Anaergia's internal CFD methods and tools.
Responsibilities:
- CFD Modeling & Mechanical Engineering
- Develop CFD models of complex single-phase and multi-phase flow systems anaerobic digester mixing systems.
- Apply boundary conditions, meshing strategies, turbulence models, and solver methods.
- Interpret CFD outputs to generate actionable engineering recommendations.
- Use simulations to improve equipment performance and inform design decisions.
- Assist Anaergia's Product Development Teams in assisting with developing conceptual mechanical designs for improvement of existing manufacturable products and development of new products using 3D CAD software.
- Assist with development of Anaergia's internal CFD analysis toolkit for complex biogas, wastewater, and organics processing systems.
- Develop reusable model templates, meshing standards, solver set-ups, quality checks, validation protocols, and post-processing routines to improve repeatability and efficiency.
- Automate recurring pre-processing and post-processing tasks using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools where practical.
- Benchmark CFD predictions against laboratory, pilot-scale, commissioning, and field operating data, and document model limitations and confidence levels.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with product managers, researchers, and project engineers.
- Coordinate with suppliers and Global engineering teams.
- Support development of O&M documentation for integrated systems.
- Prepare reports, presentations, specification sheets, and performance guarantee documents.
- Contribute to internal CFD standards and best practices.
- Prepare clear internal reports, design notes, visualizations, and technical presentations that communicate assumptions, results, risks, and recommended actions.
- Participate in commissioning activities for mixer performance validation and assist operations teams in evaluating mixing problems with existing digesters.
