As an CFD Engineer with ABS you will be actively engaged in driving industry-leading research and development associated with CFD application to vessel energy efficiency problems such as hull form optimization, trim optimization, performance evaluation of Energy Saving Devices, and broad applications serving the marine and offshore industries. 

What You Will Do:

Lead or support client service projects on hull form optimization (including local hull optimization), trim optimization, evaluation of hydrodynamic performance of Energy Saving Devices, and CFD simulations in support of EEDI/EEXI compliance; interact with clients, write reports, and give presentations to internal or external audience. Lead or support R&D and technical service projects involving CFD simulations for broad applications in hydrodynamics and aerodynamics for the marine and offshore industries; interact with clients, write reports, and give presentations to internal or external audience. Support broader-scope efforts on energy efficiency, maritime sustainability, decarbonization, with focus on hydrodynamic and simulation aspects. Support general OpenFOAM development efforts such as simulation improvement, model validation, new functionality testing, HPC testing, cloud computation testing when needed.  Maintain and demonstrate thought leadership through technical publications and presentations.

What You Will Need:

Education and Experience
