<p class="titel"><strong>Daylight and Climate Concept Development and
Validation
Engineer</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Transsolar
is a German-based climate engineering firm, and one of the premier such
offices
in the world. We are seeking talented, highly motivated engineers for
our <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place>
office.<span style=""> </span>Our current needs place special
emphasis on
daylighting specialists with grounding in engineering science.</span></strong><b
style=""><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p>Transsolar develops and validate concepts for high quality
environments that
require minimal energy use. To achieve this we work collaboratively
within the
design team from the start of the design process, considering each step
from
the standpoint of fundamental thermodynamics. This generates a climate
concept
in which form, material, and mechanical systems are synergistic
components of a
well-orchestrated climate control system; and conversely, an
environmental
control strategy that is integral to the architectural concept.</p>
<p>We use a wide variety of computer simulation tools to evaluate our
concepts.
We perform daylight simulations using RADIANCE, with evaluation based
on a wide
variety of metrics, increasingly expanding to climate-based daylight
metrics.<span style=""> </span>Similarly, we perform dynamic
thermal simulation using TRNSYS and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
using
FLUENT.</p>
<p>Transsolar engineers are often specialized in their work, but all
carry out
a broad range of tasks<b style="">. </b><strong><span
style="font-weight: normal;">Responsibilities may
include but are not limited to:</span></strong><b style=""><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Design and validation of ongoing
projects via RADIANCE, TRNSYS, or FLUENT simulation </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Collaboration with German Transsolar
offices</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Project coordination</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Participation in meetings and design
charettes</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Graphical representation of climate
and energy concepts</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Writing reports and correspondence</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Domestic and international travel to
project meetings and sites</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Engineers
with an emphasis on daylight simulation, including climate-based
metrics, are
our highest priority, but experts in dynamic thermal simulation are
also of
interest.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Both
entry-level positions and positions for 3-5 years experience are
available.<span style=""> </span>Our <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:State> office is small but
growing, providing
ample opportunity for advancement.</p>
<p><strong>Preferred qualifications include:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Proven ability to creatively develop
and apply non-traditional climate solutions to the indoor environment</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Education related to building energy
flows and building science: heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics, solar geometry and daylighting, etc. Ideal is a degree in
mechanical engineering. An M.S. is preferred but not required.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Familiarity with basics of
computational analysis (text-based input, computer programming,
spreadsheet analysis)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Experience with daylight simulation
and climate-based daylight metrics</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Experience with electric lighting
design and simulation</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Experience with dynamic thermal/energy
simulation</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Experience with computational fluid
dynamics in built environment applications</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Education/professional experience with
architectural, mechanical, and lighting systems for building climate
control</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Excellent oral and written
communication skills</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Computer-based drawing skills (e.g.
Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, etc)</li>
