Description
You will be part of the multi-disciplinary Downhole Systems team developing technologies for geothermal as well as oil and gas well construction and pursuing fundamental research in rock cutting physics.
Your role will be to work with research scientists to develop an FEA model for simulating rock-cutter interactions. This will involve preparing a suitable FEA model based on existing prototypes and validating results with experimental data. You will also explore options to further improve prediction, including extension of the model to allow thermal analysis capabilities and for automation of the simulations.
Candidates should be detail oriented, enjoy new challenges and have good communication skills.
