R&D Positions in Combustion and Fluid Dynamics
We have several full-time openings for engineers/scientists at the Ph.D. level or MS and equivalent.
1. Combustion Job Description:
• Test and model the combustion of chemical and biological agents (small scales tests in house and large-scale tests at national facilities.)
• Model material interactions with high energy lasers
• Must have completed course work in chemical kinetics and combustion or fire dynamics
2. Fluid Dynamics Job Description:
• Optimize, build and test a proprietary instrument to measure particle mass flux in a blast field
• Design a scaled up version of a supersonic blow-down tunnel at a national test facility
• Adaptation of existing CFD code to specific applications such as aerodynamic heating
• Must have completed course work in compressible flow and shock waves
Requirements for both types of positions:
• Strong background in Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer
• Strong in experimental and/or analytical and numerical methods (CFD experience desirable)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Willingness to work on a number of projects both independently and in a team
• US Citizenship (preferred) or Permanent Residency
General:
Founded in 1987, BlazeTech is a leader in providing R&D, product development and computational services in environmental safety and energy for civilian and military applications. Over the years, we have developed innovative and cost-effective solutions for many problems of national importance. Recently, we focus on major hazards and homeland defense threats that pose risks to people, property and the environment. Sample accomplishments include:
• Gelling of hazardous chemicals to improve safety
• Measurement of nanoparticle agglomorates
• Fire/explosion protection of aircraft fuel tanks under accidental and combat conditions
• Testing and FEA of the dynamic response of structures and fluid structure interactions
• Development of software for atmospheric dispersion of reactive chemicals
• Development of novel low NOx burner and fluidized bed combustor
BlazeTech is a half-way house between academia and industry that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Our projects include multi-disciplinary, cutting-edge work in technical areas with high potential for market impact. We perform work similar to the R&D department of a major company but our flexibility allows us to be very responsive and tackle new problems. For the self-motivated, the opportunities for innovation and achievement abound – all the way from project conceptualization to commercialization. We provide competitive salaries and benefits including life, medical and dental insurance, 401k and profit sharing.
