About Us
Ardent Process Technologies is on a mission to save the planet. We create technology to capture and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, avert global warming, and transform industry into a long-term sustainable enterprise. One membrane system at a time. We are expanding our team with ambitious, driven, creative problem solvers and doers who are excited about tackling a challenge and delivering a new product to market.
As a CFD Engineer, you will develop, run, and interpret detailed simulations of our novel membrane modules and other process technologies. You will engage in a cross-functional team to launch and improve products. This role is perfect for someone who loves to solve complex physical problems, is passionate about mathematics and enjoys programming, and wants to see their work directly influence product development from the ground up.
This role is an in-person or hybrid role, we cannot accommodate a fully-remote candidate for this role.
