As CFD Analysis Engineer you put numbers behind every silencer and exhaust system we design. You model the flow, the acoustics and the back-pressure, and you find the configuration that meets the noise target without costing the engine more back-pressure than the supplier will accept. Your results feed directly into the mechanical design and into the performance figures we guarantee to customers, on equipment for engines and turbines from MAN, Wärtsilä, Caterpillar and others.
What you’ll do
- Build and run CFD models of silencers, SCR reactors and complete exhaust lines.
- Optimise the three-way trade-off between noise attenuation, back-pressure and flow distribution across the real load profile, not just the design point.
- Model mixing and ammonia distribution upstream of SCR catalyst beds.
- Translate results into clear recommendations for the design team and into the performance values we commit to.
- Build and maintain validated modelling workflows so results stay consistent and repeatable.
- Compare predictions against shop and field measurements, and close the loop on the models.
What you bring
- An MSc in Mechanical, Aerospace or a related engineering discipline.
- 3+ years of hands-on CFD, ideally on flow and/or acoustics problems.
- Command of a CFD solver (ANSYS Fluent, CFX or OpenFOAM) and a clear grasp of turbulence and meshing.
- Acoustic CFD or aeroacoustics experience is a strong plus.
- The judgement to know when a model is good enough and when it needs more, and the ability to explain results to non-specialists.
- Professional English; Dutch is welcome but not required.
What we offer
- Real influence: your analysis sets the performance we sell and ship.
- Demanding, varied problems across marine, power and industrial applications.
- A collaborative engineering team with direct access to test and field data.
- Competitive salary and benefits, the possibility of a permanent contract, and a clear development path.
