CFD Engineer

Madad Industries; Abu Dhabi; Vor Ort; AED 180.000 - 320.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Madad Industries in Abu Dhabi is seeking a CFD engineer to validate hull performance for a high-speed unmanned boat. You will simulate calm-water and wave scenarios, compare results with model tests and sea trials, and provide actionable design recommendations.

The role requires several years of CFD experience, a degree in naval or related engineering, and the ability to communicate findings in English. Arabic is an advantage and scripting in Python is a plus.

Qualifikationen

• Experience with hull CFD and free-surface flows.
• Able to compare CFD results with model tests and sea trials.
• Strong communication in English; Arabic is a plus.
• Knowledge of planing-hull hydrodynamics.

Aufgaben

• Run CFD studies of hull resistance, running attitude and behaviour in waves.
• Estimate wave impact loads to support the structural design.
• Study propulsion and appendages interaction with the hull.
• Compare CFD with hand calculations, model tests and sea trials.
• Turn results into clear recommendations and reports for the design team.

Jobbeschreibung

We are designing a high-speed unmanned boat and need a CFD engineer to help prove the hull design before it is built. You will simulate how the hull performs in calm water and in waves, and check the results against model tests and sea trials.

What you will do

• Run CFD studies of hull resistance, running attitude and behaviour in waves.
• Estimate wave impact loads to support the structural design.
• Study how propulsion and appendages work with the hull.
• Compare CFD with hand calculations, model tests and sea trials, and improve the method as data comes in.
• Turn results into clear recommendations and reports for the design team.

What we are looking for

• Degree in naval architecture, marine, mechanical or aerospace engineering, or a related field.
• Several years of CFD experience, ideally including free-surface flows around boats or ships.
• Working knowledge of a commercial or open-source CFD package.
• Understanding of planing-hull hydrodynamics.
• Clear communication in English; Arabic is an advantage.

Nice to have

• Experience with high-speed craft, model testing or sea trials.
• Scripting skills (for example Python) for automating runs and processing data.
