CFD Engineer

$50 - $150 per hour

SaidGig

Apply your computational fluid dynamics expertise to help improve how AI systems interpret, solve, and explain complex engineering simulation challenges. This remote contract role focuses on high-quality technical evaluation, problem solving, and feedback across mesh generation, turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, heat transfer, solver setup, and verification and validation. No prior AI experience is required. Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate and solve advanced CFD problems involving mesh generation, turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, heat transfer, and solver configuration.
  • Review AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering integrity.
  • Apply practical engineering judgment to simulation scenarios and theoretical fluid dynamics questions.
  • Analyze and troubleshoot CFD issues using mesh independence, turbulence-model selection, boundary-condition specification, and convergence analysis.
  • Contribute domain expertise that strengthens AI reasoning in computational fluid dynamics.
  • Document feedback and provide clear written and verbal explanations that improve AI learning and performance.
  • Collaborate remotely with a distributed network of technical experts and project participants.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor''s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field focused on fluid dynamics or thermofluids, or equivalent practical CFD experience of 3+ years.
  • At least 3 years of hands-on experience conducting and validating CFD simulations, including mesh generation, solver setup, turbulence modeling, multiphase or heat-transfer analysis, or post-processing.
  • Experience in aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, HVAC, process, or biomedical industries.
  • Deep knowledge of the Navier-Stokes equations, RANS, LES, DES, meshing strategies, boundary-condition specification, and verification and validation practices.
  • Ability to analyze and validate fluid-flow, heat-transfer, and multiphysics problems with CFD tools, using experimental or analytical data for comparison.
  • Familiarity with standards and practices such as ASME V&V 20, AIAA CFD verification and validation guidance, and ITTC procedures.
  • Excellent English proficiency and strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, or Converge is a strong plus. Problem authoring, technical committee service, competition leadership, or peer-recognized CFD community contributions are also valued.
Work Terms
  • Remote contract engagement.
Compensation
  • $50 to $150 per hour.
