Employer: WSP USA Inc. Job Title: Associate Consultant, Mechanical Engineer Location: 1 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10119 Requirements: Bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering or related, and one (1) year of experience as a Mechanical Engineer, Civil Engineer, or related Engineering position. Internship or Graduate Research experience is accepted by employer. Experience must include: Experience with ventilation systems and fire and egress modeling analysis for road tunnels and passenger rail stations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) including ANSYS Fluent and Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) + EVAC. Experience with conducting high-level research and analysis and presenting, and publishing in relevant industry-focused national and international conferences. Engineering experience with fluid-structure interactions using finite element (FE) methods and analysis (FEA), using advanced computational tools including ANSYS LS-Dyna, ANSYS Mechanical, Altair HyperMesh, and ABAQUS. Engineering experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation using ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX, ANSYS DesignModeler and ANSYS SpaceClaim, as well as post-processing using programming languages including MATLAB, and Python. Engineering experience in advanced computer-aided design (CAD) modeling in both two-dimensional (2D) space, and three-dimensional (3D) space, using Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk AutoCAD, Siemens NX and SOLIDWORKS.Duties: Analysis of fire-life safety and smoke ventilation systems for road tunnels, transit stations, highway overbuilds, and bus maintenance facilities. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of fire spread and smoke propagation in stations, tunnels, battery electric bus maintenance facilities and open/enclosed parking garages. Ventilation analysis and assessment of transit networks using CFD and subway environment simulations (SES). Structural fire temperature modeling using finite element analysis (FEA), with integrating CFD results into a coupled thermal and structural analysis to determine structural integrity during a fire. Fire-life safety analysis of electric vehicle (EV) fires in road tunnels, bus maintenance facilities and parking garages to assess fire spread risk, damage to surrounding structures, and determine fire protection system needs. Station, tunnel and bus maintenance facility egress modeling. Uncertainty analysis and risk assessment of fire related hazards in tunnels, transit systems and bus maintenance facilities. Investigation and comparison of advanced CFD modeling with test data for assessing fire suppression under different fixed firefighting systems and emergency ventilation system operating. $89,294.40 / Yr.
