Introduction: Exa Corporation is seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a validation engineering position within the Application Engineering team.  The position is located in Livonia, MI (near Detroit).  We are particularly interested in finding someone with an automotive aeroacoustics, and/or thermal background as well as strong fundamental knowledge of aerodynamics.  Experience in computational fluid dynamics is helpful but not required, more important is experience in using complex computational tools effectively.

 

Company Background: Exa Corporation develops and markets software for design engineers to analyze complex fluid-flow problems, and software to prepare geometry for use in a variety of analysis tools. The company's PowerFLOW? and PowerCLAY? products are marketed to engineers worldwide in a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, chemical, energy, architectural, and environmental. PowerFLOW is a breakthrough technology that is unique among computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages in its ability to handle complex geometry and deliver accurate fluid-flow analysis at a fraction of the total cost of other available solutions. PowerCLAY is a powerful geometry design tool for CAE mesh preprocessing that provides sophisticated mesh deformation capabilities. Both PowerFLOW and PowerCLAY allow customers to shrink design cycles by incorporating quick turnaround analysis throughout the design cycle.

Responsibilities:  As an Application Engineer in the North American central region organization, you will be responsible for detailed validation studies that compare PowerFLOW simulation results to experimental test data.  You will also be responsible for collaborating with the field teams to deploy application methodologies in customer projects for both demonstration and productive use situations.  General engineering tasks include setting up simulation cases, administering the runs, collecting and analyzing results, carrying out technical research, writing up analyses, and presentation of results.  Additional responsibilities include product testing of new capabilities and development of prototypes for new or enhanced functionality.  As a member of engineering team, you will interact closely with the sales organization and customers in supporting customer projects and activities.
