Computational Engineer

Deadline for applications: 15 May 2015

Location: Athens, Greece or Nicosia, Cyprus

NovaMechanics (NovaM), a Cheminformatics & Nanoinformatics company, is seeking for 1 computational engineer to join our offices (Nicosia, Cyprus/ Piraeus, Greece) to work on the development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for the simulation of the hydrogen reduction of bauxite residue though Electric Furnace Arch.

Responsibilities

• Development and implementation of a CFD modeling analysis needed for the hydrogen reduction of bauxite residue using Electric Arc Furnace
• Development of the 3-Dimensional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawing file of the reactor and its mesh file
• Development of digital twin of the reactor
• Collaboration with the NovaM’s Reaserch and Development (R&D) department to integrate CFD modeling with Machine Learning models
• Collaboration with the NovaM's Informatics (IT) department to integrate the developed into a web application or as a Software as a Service
• Organizing collaborative efforts with internal and external partners

Desired Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics and Mathematics, Chemistry or other related Science. High grades in the related to the position courses (Mathematics, Computer Programming, Thermodynamics, Physical Chemistry, Transport Phenomena, Process Control etc.) or any other proven experience
• M.Sc. degree in Computational Mechanics or a related field will be highly appreciated.
• Proficiency in English 
• Strong programming skills (Python, C++, Fortran, Java, etc.)
• Diploma Thesis or Master Thesis in the field of Computational Mechanics or a related field will be highly appreciated (A web hyperlink of the Diploma or Master Thesis should be included in the attached CV even if the thesis is not related to the position)
• Good knowledge of Linux operating system (i.e., writing bash scripts)
• Knowledge of open-source computational mechanics software (i.e., cfmesh, openfoam, elmer etc.) or any other computational chemistry/physics software would be appreciated

In general, any previous specific knowledge is less important than strong motivation, enthusiasm for scientific research and problem-solving skills.
