Summary

Delta Star Inc. is looking for an innovative and detail-oriented Simulation and Modeling Transformer Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you'll use advanced computational tools to model and analyze transformer performance under real-world operating conditions. If you're passionate about solving complex problems through simulation and improving product design, this opportunity is for you!

What You'll Do

As a Simulation and Modeling Transformer Engineer, you'll develop and validate thermal, electromagnetic, acoustic, and fluid dynamic models to predict transformer behavior. You'll partner closely with design engineers to translate your simulations into practical design improvements, helping to ensure our transformers are efficient, reliable, and built to the highest standards.

A Day in the Life

Your day may start by setting up a new thermal simulation to evaluate a cooling system design, followed by reviewing electromagnetic analysis results, and acoustic simulation with the design team. You'll use simulation tools like COMSOL or ANSYS to run multi-physics analyses, document your findings, and recommend design modifications. You'll also work with the testing team to validate simulations against physical test results, ensuring accuracy and continuous improvement in modeling practices.

Specific Duties

• Build and validate thermal, electromagnetic, acoustic, and fluid dynamic models of transformers.
• Use simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS) to assess design performance under various conditions.
• Interpret simulation results and recommend design enhancements.
• Collaborate with design engineers to optimize components for efficiency and reliability.
• Document simulation processes and prepare clear technical reports.
• Support product testing and correlate simulation data with physical test outcomes.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a technically strong, curious, and detail-driven engineer who thrives on applying simulation and modeling to solve real-world design challenges. The ideal candidate is analytical, collaborative, and eager to advance product development through data-driven insights.
