What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Thermofluids Engineer position at Lumicity?
Lead/Sr Thermofluids Engineer - El Segundo, CA - Industrial Power/Heat Exchangers
I’m supporting an early-stage startup in El Segundo, CA area that is building a next-generation industrial power conversion system, and I’m looking for a Lead/Senior Thermofluids Engineer who wants true ownership of core hardware.
This person will own the thermal-fluid design of critical heat-exchange hardware and architecture that directly drives system performance, efficiency, and test success.
The work will involve:
- Thermal-hydraulic design and sizing of compact, high-performance heat exchangers
- Pressure drop, heat transfer, and flow distribution analysis
- 1D modeling alongside 3D CFD
- Taking designs from early architecture through fabrication, inspection, build, and test
- Working directly with founders and cross-functional leads
- Coordinating closely with external vendors / fabricators on advanced heat-exchange hardware
Ideal background would include experience with some combination of:
- Compact heat exchangers, plate-fin, or similar architectures
- High-pressure / high-temperature thermal-fluid systems
- Combustion-side heat transfer or pressure-containing thermal hardware
- Thermal stress, pressure-boundary considerations, ASME-related design practices
This is a good fit for someone who wants to move fast, own meaningful hardware, and be early enough in a company to actually shape the product rather than inherit it.
If this sounds like you, or someone in your network, send me a message or email me directly at coleman.carpenter@lumicity.io and I'll be in touch promptly.
