Remote CFD Engineer for AI-Driven Fluid Simulations

Mindrift; City of Edinburgh; A distancia; GBP 29.000 - 42.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Mindrift is seeking a CFD specialist to help train and evaluate AI agents on expert-level fluid simulation tasks. You will ingest CAD geometry, configure simulations, and build verified reference solutions.

You will write Python checks for results, manage simulations, and contribute to robust verification, while working fully remote on a flexible schedule for international projects. This role includes performance-based bonuses dependent on quality and delivery.

Formación

• A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field such as energy or oil & gas. A PhD is preferred but not required.
• Several years of hands-on industry or research CFD with OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent/CFX or STAR-CCM+, including meshing.
• Solid verification and validation practice: mesh-independence studies, and validation against experiment or benchmarks.
• Comfortable with Python and GitHub.
• English at B2 level or above.
• Nice to have: aerospace, automotive, offshore or turbomachinery background; multiphase or particle-laden flow experience.

Responsabilidades

• Help train and evaluate AI agents on expert-level fluid simulation tasks. You'll take CAD geometry, set up and run simulations, build verified reference solutions, and write Python checks for the agent's results.
• Project time expectations: For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements.
• Participate in performance-based bonus programs that reward high-quality work and consistent delivery.
