Solver Developer – Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning

Gamma Technologies, LLC (GT) is looking for a Solver Developer with a strong work ethic, sound judgment, and a willingness to develop a long-term career with us.

Position Summary

We are looking for a creative, talented, and highly motivated solver developer to join our thermal fluids solver development team. The applicant will be involved in the development and testing of advanced mathematical models and computational schemes for two-phase flow and heat transfer in heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems.

Job Responsibilities

  • Improve and maintain the existing two-phase numerical solver
  • Implement new, and update existing two-phase heat transfer and friction correlations
  • Add new refrigerant fluids; and continuously work to improve the speed of refrigerant fluid property evaluations
  • Work to implement new, and maintain existing 1D and 0D numerical models for components used in air-conditioning and refrigeration systems (condensers, evaporators, TXV valves, compressors, accumulators, etc.)
  • Develop different levels of fidelity to balance speed and accuracy for different applications (e.g. controls vs detailed physics)
  • Keep up with industry trends and new technologies by attending suitable conferences, and building a professional network

Education, Experience, and Skills

Any combination of education and experience that would likely provide the required knowledge and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the knowledge and abilities would be:

  • PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar) with a focus on numerical modeling of two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following three languages: FORTRAN, C, C++
  • Experience with either developing from scratch or maintaining a numerical flow solver for two-phase fluid flow with heat transfer
  • Strong fundamental understanding of the physics governing two-phase fluid flow (condensation, evaporation, boiling, etc.)
  • Proficiency in numerical methods for scientific computing

Desired Qualifications

  • Finite volume methods
  • REFPROP
  • SIMPLE algorithm for fluid flow
  • Homogeneous model for two-phase flow
  • Separated (or two-fluid) model for two-phase flow
  • Modeling of Refrigerant plus lubricating oil mixtures

Salary and Benefits

  • GT offers competitive pay, vacation, sick and personal days, and a work environment that allows you to grow and prosper.
  • We offer best in class health benefits for you and your dependents.
  • We offer a 401k and Roth 401k retirement plans.
