Cfd Engineer Jobs

Responsibilities:

• Support aerodynamic analysis using lower and medium fidelity tools as well as subscale modeling, testing and analysis
• Plan and execute all aspects of eVTOL CFD analysis in different flight conditions between hover and cruise through transition
• Generate aerodynamic loads for structural design and aeroacoustics analysis
• Generate CFD meshes and perform both steady and unsteady CFD analysis using standard commercial tools (e.g., Fluent, StarCCM+) and/or government tools (Fun3D, OverFlow)
• Generate aerodynamic data to compare with lower and medium fidelity analysis, flight test data and wind tunnel data for validation
• Conduct CFD analysis to support optimum aerodynamic design

Requirements:

• Basic understanding of CAD software (preferably Catia or Solidworks)
• Familiarity with aeroacoustics analysis
• Strong understanding of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aerodynamics
• Expertise in using at least one of the standard CFD solvers (Fluent or StarCCM+)
• Comfortable with hands-on calculations for quick analysis
• Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. PhD preferred.
• Experience processing data with python or MATLAB
• 5+ years of experience modeling eVTOL, rotorcraft or interactional rotor-wing aerodynamics using blade resolved CFD as well as blade element or actuator disk methods.
• Wind tunnel testing experience is highly desired
• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics and CFD (RANS, uRANS, LES)
