Spar Systems is developing a revolutionary technology for generating power from low-temperature waste heat. Data centers, with their large energy consumption and low-temperature thermal waste, are the primary beachhead market. We estimate potential impact of millions of metric tons of CO2 abatement and 100s of terawatt-hours of energy savings through this technology. We have received a DOE grant to develop this patented technology to commercial readiness. We also have an active partnership with Oak Ridge National Labs and recently closed our first round of pre-seed financing. \n\nWe are looking for leading engineers to join our team and accelerate the development and commercialization of this technology. This role is for the Lead Computational Physicist. \n\nYou will be responsible for analytical and numerical analyses of concept designs. You will use deep knowledge of mechanical physics, especially fluids, turbomachines and aerodynamics to rapidly analyze designs and develop performance estimates. You will also develop and run computational models, primarily CFD, to test concepts and optimize them. A combination of systematic thinking, engineering tinkering, imagination and pragmatic decision making is necessary. Being able to quickly learn new skills and expand your capabilities is a must. But above all, having a natural intuition for solving technical problems is the core skill requirement. \n\nSpecific skills expected, though not required, include: CAD modeling, CFD, general numerical analysis, multiphysics modeling, product engineering and hardware commercialization. Advanced training in mathematical sciences is expected for this position, such as a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics or related fields. Equivalently, for non-PhD candidates, a track record of advanced work and original contributions (papers, patents) in relevant fields will be highly valued. You will have access to the full suite of Siemens CAE tools including STAR-CCM+, Simcenter 3D, Amesim, NX etc. \n\nYou will get early equity in the company, with potential for founder level impact. Selected candidates will be those who we see as part of our mission for the next 5-10 years. \n\nPosition can be potentially remote, but candidates located in the greater NYC area (within 1.5 hours of NYC) will be preferred.
