The Large Power Systems Division currently has an opening for a performance analyst who will utilize commercial and internal tools and analytical techniques (1-D and 3-D simulation tools) to provide simulation support for lubrication systems across various Caterpillar large engine platforms, with the opportunity to also work on engine water system simulations. This includes development of models to simulate oil pumps, engine oil galleries, valves, and heat exchangers in both steady-state and transient conditions (e.g., time to prime simulations), as well as 3-D simulations of piston cooling with oil jets. This position will also be a key player in the development of new methods and processes for 1-D and 3-D lubrication simulation, including investigations of the Lattice-Boltzmann vs. finite volume methods. The engineer will effectively collaborate with the various product development teams to deliver validated design solutions for our challenging program deliverables. The position includes strong collaboration with our design, system, and validation partners.
