Calculation Engineer (80-100%)

Climeworks removes CO2 from the air to fight global warming and protect future generations to come.

We develop, build and operate direct air capture (DAC) machines which capture CO2 directly from the air. The captured carbon dioxide is removed from the air by safely storing it underground, permanently.

Founded in 2009 by engineers, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher, Climeworks was built with a mission to inspire 1 billion people to remove CO2 from the air, and is now spearheading the DAC industry globally. It has the world’s largest DAC facility and storage installation in operation and a team of over 450 Climeworkers determined to contribute to a net-zero future.

A true climate pioneer, Climeworks is featured as a TIME100 Influential Company 2022 and Global Cleantech 100 Company 2022, driving a revolutionary technology engineered to solve the most pressing issue of our time.

We foster a dynamic environment and are building a global purpose driven team. We are looking for disruptive thinkers, passionate achievers and inspiring leaders that are ready to take on the world’s greatest challenge.

Will you join us?

Job description

• You will join the dynamic development team and contribute to the development of next-generation Direct Air Capturing Products.
• You will be responsible to perform lifetime, deformation and durability analyses of mechanical components and assemblies using Finite Element Method (FEM).
• You will perform CFD analyses to predict and optimize media flow within components.
• You closely collaborate with the design engineers to optimize designs and ensure that specified lifetime targets are achieved.
• You provide advice to the designers concerning structural mechanical challenges and act as an expert advisor on the solution of Non-Conformances and manufacturing issues.
• You plan, execute, document and evaluate validation measurements and are responsible for drawing relevant conclusions.
• You will establish best practice methodologies within the team and consequentially develop analysis processes and procedures.

Requirements

• You are a proactive and innovative mechanical engineer with at least 5 years of experience in both FEM and CFD simulations.
• You have proven experience in structural-mechanical FEM analyses, lifetime assessment and thermomechanical calculations (preferably ANSYS).
• You are experienced in performing CFD simulations (eg. multiphase flow, porous media, fan analysis and heat losses calculations).
• You are familiar with common standards such as Eurocode, Machinery Directive and FKM guidelines and can apply them independently.
• You have a well-founded knowledge regarding structural materials and their physical and mechanical properties.
• You have proficient English language skills.
