• Manage and execute complex flow problems using CFD and other analytical tools and methods
• Proficiency in using tools like ANSYS Fluent, Star CCM+,ICEPAK is must
• Strong understanding of numerical methods, discretization schemes, and solver behavior.
• Experience with mesh generation, grid independence studies, and solution convergence.
• Exposure to Opti slang and knowledge in programming languages like Python is an added advantage.
• Strong technical, written and verbal communication skills

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end CFD and thermal simulation activities for aerospace products.
• Perform and oversee external aerodynamics and internal flow analysis, including compressible, turbulent, and advanced Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) simulations.
• Develop and execute multiphase flow models (e.g., Mixing, Evaporation).
• Drive Multiphysics simulations integrating fluid flow, heat transfer, structural interaction, and, where applicable, chemical reactions.
• Optimize designs for thermal performance, aerodynamic efficiency, and Thermal Compliance.
• Provide technical direction, mentoring, and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design, structures, materials, and testing.
• Contribute to proposal development, technical reviews, and customer presentations.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects and teams.
