What you'll do

  • Solve and validate aerodynamic and fluid-dynamics problems.
  • Translate physical requirements into computational models and solver-ready cases.
  • Create or modify geometries, computational domains, and meshes.
  • Define appropriate initial conditions, boundary conditions, fluid properties, and solver settings.
  • Run CFD and aerodynamic-analysis workflows using command-line-accessible tools.
  • Use Python to automate preprocessing, simulation execution, parameter sweeps, postprocessing, and validation.

What we're looking for

  • An MS or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with an aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, or thermofluids specialization; or a BS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering plus at least 1–2 years of aero-specific professional or research experience.
  • Strong understanding of fluid mechanics and applied aerodynamics.
  • Experience formulating and executing CFD or aerodynamic analyses.
  • Practical proficiency with Python.
  • Experience with at least one engineering tool or library that can be operated through a CLI, scripting interface, configuration files, or programmatic API.
  • Ability to select and justify modeling assumptions, boundary conditions, mesh strategies, and solver settings.
  • Ability to diagnose non-convergence, unstable solutions, incorrect results, and physically invalid outputs.
  • Ability to communicate technical reasoning and engineering trade-offs clearly.
