Experience with experimental laboratory and/or field testing is a plus.

Tasking may include:

• Modeling and simulation support for design, analysis, and engineering of advanced hydrodynamic systems
• Use of commercial and/or open-source CFD and gridding packages
• Development of computational models to support system design analysis
• Support for prototype system development and testing, including hardware procurement and integration, and experimental design and execution
• Analysis of computational and experimental data

Required Attributes and Skills:

• MATLAB or similar programming capability
• Compiled code programming experience
• Strong background with fluid-mechanics and mechanical systems
• Experience with gridding and running CFD packages, and analyzing output data
