Discrete Phase Model Developer

We offer a role with responsibility, independence, and the possibility to contribute proactively. We foster a teamwork culture with room for individual development.

The STAR-CCM+ team is seeking a motivated software engineer to contribute to the development of the Lagrangian Discrete Element Model (DEM). These particle models are successfully applied by many STAR-CCM+ customers in a wide variety of multi-phase flows where particles statistically interact with a flow field. The development team is seeking new opportunities to expand code capability into new areas, with focus on:

• New physics models

• State-of-the-art algorithms and parallelization techniques

• Performance optimizations for CPU and GPU architectures

• Coupling the DPM physics with the multi-physics environment of STAR-CCM+

Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Identification of suitable DEM models and algorithms with focus on: flow-particle interaction, numerical methods for flow particle coupling and new discretization techniques

Implementation in a modern, commercial CFD software framework

Code benchmarking and optimization with focus on serial and parallel performance including:

• SIMD vectorization of new and existing algorithms

• Effective parallelization of particle dynamics across supported platforms including GPUs

• Hybrid shared memory / distributed memory parallelization schemes

Validation, debugging and close cooperation with quality assurance and customer support teams including responsibility for customer reported defect identification and resolution.

Working as a part of a widely geographically distributed software development team, applying Agile development processes and methodology

Required Knowledge/Skills, Education, and Experience

A suitable candidate is expected to have:

• Lagrangian Discrete Phase Model (DPM) experience is a plus

• Masters, PhD or equivalent degree in mechanical engineering, applied math or computer science

• Knowledge of Lagrangian particle simulation methods and experience with algorithms and techniques used in statistical particle simulations

• Experience with numerical methods used in particle-flow coupling

• Excellent communication skills

• Excellent C++ development skills

• Good working knowledge of parallel programming both in distributed and shared memory

• Experience with modern CPU optimization and vectorization

• GPU programming is a plus
