• 5–8 years of relevant aerodynamic experience.
• Knowledge of Navier–Stokes methods, external aerodynamics, stability & control, and aerodynamic loads calculations.
• Knowledge of mesh generation tools (Pointwise) and CAD (CATIA V5 or NX).
• Knowledge of UNIX/Linux and HPC best practices.
• Experience with Python and shell scripting.

Responsibilities

• Generate aerodynamic solutions using CFD software in support of Flight Sciences, Loads & Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Systems requirements; liaise with engineering groups.
• Produce estimates of external pressure distributions, aerodynamic loads and stability derivatives and validate with experimental data.
• Develop complex CFD workflows for aircraft designs, stability/control analysis, aerodynamic loads calculations or aero-structural optimization.
• Contribute to development of tools for CFD results analysis.
• Improve efficiency of numerical optimization by tuning input parameters and validating new capabilities.
• Develop novel mesh generation, deformation and adaptation techniques, CAD-free and/or CAD-centered, compatible with in-house software and/or grid packages.
• Predict aircraft drag, low-speed characteristics and stall onset using CFD.
• Generate wing structural models and perform static aero-elastic analyses.
• Prepare and participate in wind-tunnel tests, support results analysis and documentation.
• Model simple surfaces and create CAD parametric models with CATIA V5 or NX.
