Modeling Engineer

As a Modeling Engineer part of our Global Digital and Corporate Color organization, you will apply advanced engineering principles to develop digital twin solutions for chemical processes, integrating both physics-based and data-driven modeling approaches. You will work in a cross functional environment and support government-funded, export-controlled R&D projects, contributing to innovation in product and process development across PPG's diverse businesses.

Key Responsibilities

• Modeling & Simulation: Apply your experience in chemical process simulation to model and analyze processes. Use physics-based and data-driven approaches to analyze complex data from several sources and identify trends, patterns, and areas for optimization.

• Project Execution: Support internal R&D and government-funded, export-controlled projects by delivering modeling solutions that meet technical and compliance requirements.

• Communication & Reporting: communicate technical findings to team members and project sponsors. Prepare project reports, model validations, and documentation in compliance with regulatory and export control guidelines.

Qualifications

• A MS or PhD degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, polymer materials engineering, or related technical disciplines, with chemical process simulation experiences.

• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience using Computational Fluid Dynamics packages i.e. M-Star CFD, ANSYS Fluent, Siemens Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, etc.; Experienced in pre-processing, meshing, solving, and post processing, and coding ability for user-defined subroutines.

• Proficiency in analyzing complex data sets and digital twin product development. Experience with hybrid modeling (e.g. AI/ML) is appreciated.

• Job Location: Up to 5-days per week in Springdale, PA

• Must be a U.S. Person as defined by U.S. export control regulations (i.e., U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) to comply with government project requirements.

• Willingness to travel up to 10% for meetings, site visits, and technical conferences.
