Aerothermal Analysis of a small 3115 BLDC motor running a 10x5in 2-blade propeller. STP file Geometry to be provided along with initial conditions (altitude, ambient temp, rotor/prop RPM, etc) and stator heat generation for steady state flight. Primary output is rotor temperature and airflow around and through the motor. Using Ansys tool suite.

Good Ground Innovation is an independent invention company with three issued USPTO patents. We are preparing to execute a funded NSF SBIR Phase I computational fluid dynamics program built around a patented omnidirectional energy capture architecture. The invention exists. The patent is issued. Phase I is a rigorous characterization program, not an invention program. We need someone battle-tested who wants to work on something genuinely novel. Full scope is disclosed under NDA only. What you will do: Model fluid dynamic energy capture performance of a patented geometry across multiple fluid media and mounting configurations. Deliver defensible performance curves, structural specifications, and design data sufficient to support Phase II hardware fabrication. What we need: Expert level CFD with real solver decision-making experience, not just interface operation. Turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, fluid structure interaction, mesh generation, boundary condition setup, validation methodology, and post-processing. ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or OpenFOAM at expert level. Engagement: 6 months, Phase II extension likely. NDA required before full scope disclosure. To proceed: Express interest and relevant experience. NDA follows.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We're looking into the mechanical design space and want to understand in detail, how CAD professionals use tools like Solidworks. What you'll do (5–10 hrs/week to start): Showing us your real workflows in SolidWorks: how you build parts and assemblies, repair a feature tree or rebuild imported geometry, run an engineering change through revision control and the BOM, and hand off drawings and exports for manufacturing - and answering questions along the way: why this step, what's the shortcut, where do people go wrong? If you use SolidWorks regularly and can talk through your process clearly, you're exactly who we're looking for. No prep needed, just your day-to-day expertise. Who you are - any of these backgrounds fits: - Medical Device / Healthcare Mechanical Engineer - you design under design controls (ISO 13485 / FDA), with revision-controlled drawings and documentation behind every change. - Aerospace & Defense Design Engineer - you live in configuration management: ECNs, drawing packages, and first-article inspection against requirements. - Automotive / Consumer Hardware / Manufacturing Engineer - you take parts from design through DFM, BOM release, tooling, and supplier hand-offs. Must-have: 5+ years of hands-on, near-daily use of SolidWorks; fluency with assemblies, drawings, configurations, and PDM/revision control; able to articulate why you do what you do, not just click through it. Nice-to-have: experience across more than one of the profiles above; PLM-connected work (Arena, Windchill, Teamcenter) or hand-offs to adjacent tools (CAM, ANSYS or other CAE, Creo/NX/CATIA at client sites) in a regulated industry.

We are seeking an industrial refrigeration engineering expert to assist in designing new equipment that operates at very low temperatures. The ideal candidate will have experience in engineering design and mechanical engineering, with a strong understanding of heat pump refrigeration processes. This role requires CFD and mechanical design.

I am seeking an experienced FEA freelancer or consultant with strong Abaqus expertise to model the behavior of glass substrates subjected to thermal processing and subsequent mechanical/thermal events. The initial scope focuses on developing an FEA model of glass and quantifying the residual stress state generated by different thermal treatments. Follow-on work will extend the model to include small geometric features and evaluate how those features interact mechanically, including their impact on stress redistribution and fracture behavior.

We are seeking an experienced Sr. NX (preferred) or CATIA Design Airframe Engineer for a remote contract position. The role involves designing and developing airframe components using NX or CATIA software. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical engineering and drafting, with experience in CAD software. This is a part-time engagement for up to 400 hours.
