Aerodynamics Expert (MSc. or PhD)

Engineers with fluid dynamics expertise build and check aerodynamic problems that can be solved from the command line. A typical task covers setting up an airfoil case, meshing the domain, choosing boundary conditions, then running CFD to get lift and drag and judging whether the flow solution is physically sound. Python automates the workflow.

What you would do

• Work through and verify aerodynamic and fluid-dynamics problems
• Build geometries, meshes, boundary conditions and solver settings for CFD cases
• Run simulations through command-line tools and Python scripts
• Diagnose non-convergence and physically invalid results

What the listing asks for

• Master's or doctorate in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical with a specialty in aerodynamics, fluids or thermofluids
• Alternatively, a bachelor's in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with 1 to 2 years of aero-specific work
• Practical Python skills
• Experience with a CLI-operable tool such as OpenFOAM, SU2 or Gmsh
• Ability to justify modeling assumptions, mesh strategy and solver choices

Suits professionals who have run CFD analyses, script their workflows in Python, and want flexible part-time work including evenings or weekends.
