Description du poste

IXO is engaging specialists to evaluate aerodynamic and CFD results supported by sound modeling and verification. Your contribution is technical work: make the reasoning inspectable, identify substantive errors and provide evidence that supports a reliable assessment.

Work you will do

• Create or review flow-analysis cases, considering geometry, conditions, solver choices and the intended physical regime.
• Evaluate numerical results against analytical checks, experimental evidence or accepted verification and validation practices.
• For programmatic assignments, develop Python or command-line workflows and reproducible acceptance checks; document the reasons behind the final assessment.

Required background and routes

• Programmatic aerodynamics route: a relevant master's/doctorate, or an aerospace/mechanical bachelor's with at least one to two aero-specific professional or research years.
• For that route, practical Python and a CLI, scripting or API-based engineering tool are required. Justify meshes, assumptions, boundaries and solver choices, and diagnose nonconvergence or physically invalid output.

Preferred background

• Separate CFD task route: relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical background, with at least three years conducting and validating CFD, including mesh/solver work and thermofluid or multiphase analysis.
• CFD depth in Navier–Stokes reasoning, RANS/LES/DES, verification and validation, ASME V&V 20, AIAA or ITTC practice; Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL or Converge, technical authorship and clear English are valuable. Python is not imposed on this separate task route.

Deliverables

Submit the completed technical artifact or assessment with its supporting evidence, explicit assumptions, reproducible checks where applicable, and concise reasons for each material judgment. Address review findings within the agreed scope.

Location and schedule

Remote assignments are scheduled by agreement, with no guaranteed weekly volume. Availability planning can include 15 hours per week depending on the track. IXO confirms the applicable timing before work.

Pay and working terms

Per completed task; fee agreed before work USD. Payment is for a completed task that meets the agreed acceptance criteria. The fee, task specification and revision requirements are agreed before work; an advertised time estimate does not determine payment. Applying does not guarantee an assignment. Use public, licensed or otherwise authorized material only; do not submit confidential employer information, personal data or restricted research.
