　　This role in summary

　　The simulation based design (SBD) team is formed of technical experts with a deep knowledge of Refrigeration products (top-mounts, bottom-mounts, side-by-sides, french-door bottom-mounts, single door, etc). The primary delivery of the team is a suite of virtual models proven to predict product performance without the need of physical units. The team’s physics-based approach ensures the models are parametrized such that the predictive capability is valid between products with varying form/dimensions. This is achieved through deep technical knowledge, systematic problem solving and extensive lab experimentation to prove correlation and flexibility.

　　Currently, we are seeking qualified candidates for a Thermal-Structural Simulation Engineer opening to join our Refrigeration Simulation Based Design organization. This position will be located in Whirlpool CETEC Apodaca, N.L.

　　Your responsibilities will include

　　Work with the global simulation based engineering teams and Refrigeration subsystem teams to create and execute highly physics-based system-performance models (both 1D and 3D) for refrigeration products to enable virtual prediction of thermal, structure and cooling performance.

　　Use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools to simulate airflow and thermal to evaluate heat flow, temperature, and transient performance.

　　Develop static, dynamic, linear and nonlinear solid mechanic models.

　　Build representative refrigerator products 3D models, evaluate designs, validate with physical testing and perform iterations to drive efficient designs for optimal product performance.

　　Write simulation reports , knowledge documents, lessons learned to capture knowledge and promote future reuse.

　　Develop new techniques and simulation capabilities to reduce overall simulation and design cycle time.

　　Work with cross functional, category and global teams to align with simulation capabilities, methods and knowledge sharing.

　　Manage multiple projects while maintaining a strong communication bridge with design, CAD, preprocessing and lab personnel.

　　Use Ansys Workbench, APDL and Creo extensively to simulate refrigerator thermal and structural models.

　　Operate as a liaison between platform teams, subsystems engineers and external suppliers to ensure accuracy and timely delivery of projects.

　　Minimum requirements

　　Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (Master’s Degree preferred)

　　A minimum of 3 years thermal and structural simulation experience

　　CFD and/or FEA(Finite Element Analysis) experience

　　Experience of applying Ansys Workbench, APDL, Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Fluent, Modelica (Dymola, Modelon Impact or similar) and Python.

　　CAD (PTC Creo) modeling capability

　　Background on Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Solid Mechanics, and Structural Analysis

　　Refrigeration product experience a plus

　　Ability to work with diverse global teams

　　Strong problem solving skills, organization, interpersonal, written and oral communication skills
