Description

Join a highly motivated team of young professionals bringing cutting-edge CFD to industry applications

Push the boundaries of aeronautical design, splitting your time between developing defense systems and advancing computational capabilities across fields such as hypersonics, aero-elastics, aero-optics, combustion, and optimization.

Research Focus Areas:

Adjoint-method aerodynamic optimization

Data-driven and AI-based optimization techniques

Rarefied gas dynamics

Hypersonic flow phenomena

Aero-optics of airborne optical systems

Aero-thermal heat transfer

Aero-elasticity

The Role:

You'll leverage a combination of commercial tools, in-house codes, and open-source software, with most development done in Python on Linux-based high-performance distributed computing (HPC) systems. As the subject-matter authority on aerodynamic simulation, you'll lead flow computations across a range of projects.

Position Requirements:

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics

Master's degree in a relevant field such as Fluid Dynamics, CFD, Flight Sciences, Heat Transfer, Aeroelasticity, or Aero-Optics

Ph.D. in a related field – an advantage

Experience:

Around 3 years in a comparable role, or an advanced degree specializing in one of the fields listed above

Technical Knowledge & Skills:

Strong foundation in fluid mechanics, CFD, compressible flow, applied mathematics, and numerical methods

Working proficiency in Linux, including Python and Bash scripting

Experience with parallelized code – an advantage
