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 
Department of Energy grant to develop this patented technology to commercial 
readiness. We also have an active partnership with a National Lab and recently 
closed our first round of pre-seed financing.

We 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.

You 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.

Specific 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.

You 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.

Position can be potentially remote, but candidates located in the greater NYC 
area (within 1.5 hours of NYC) will be preferred.
