  • Knowledge of static, dynamic, or thermal analysis methods and their use in ANSYS.
  • Experience with refrigerant selection and compliance (e.g., low-GWP refrigerants and evolving regulations).

What you get

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
