Résumé du poste

Tiberius Aerospace in Orange County is seeking a CFD Engineer to support aerodynamic and propulsion analysis for advanced air vehicles and munition programs. The role is hands-on with the CFD stack, including meshing, solving, and post-processing high-fidelity simulations of internal flows (inlets, combustors, nozzles) and external aerodynamics.

You will collaborate with aero-propulsion engineers to turn design questions into CFD studies and provide design guidance for the team, with

Responsabilités

• Set up, solve, and post-process high-fidelity CFD simulations for internal flows including inlets, combustors, and nozzles, and external aerodynamic flows across the flight envelope.
• Support inlet and nozzle flow path design studies using high-fidelity RANS or transient CFD as appropriate to the design phase.
• Generate aerodynamic and propulsion databases from CFD results for use in vehicle performance modeling and trajectory simulation.
• Develop and execute large-scale parametric CFD studies on HPC platforms.
• Support combustor and reacting-flow analysis workflows including fuel injection, atomization, and combustion process modeling as applicable to the propulsion architecture.
• Correlate CFD predictions against wind tunnel, direct-connect, or flight test data and help refine simulation setup based on observed discrepancies.
• Document CFD methodology, mesh and solver settings, and validation basis for each major analysis campaign.

About Tiberius Aerospace

Tiberius Aerospace is a cutting-edge Aerospace and Defense company delivering advanced, mission-critical
technologies for government and private sector customers. The company focuses on high-performance
aerospace systems, secure engineering solutions, and the development of complex hardware built for demanding
operational environments. Tiberius is scaling quickly and is looking for engineers who can operate with
ownership, urgency, and technical discipline in a high-stakes environment.

Position Overview

Tiberius Aerospace is seeking a CFD Engineer to support aerodynamic and propulsion analysis for our advanced
air vehicle and munition programs. This role is hands-on with the simulation stack: meshing, solving, and post-
processing high-fidelity CFD for internal flows (inlets, combustors, nozzles) and external aerodynamics across
subsonic through high-supersonic regimes. You will work closely with aerodynamics and propulsion engineers to
turn design questions into well-posed CFD studies and turn CFD results into design guidance the rest of the team
can use. This is an excellent role for an engineer who wants deep, hands-on computational experience on real
flight hardware programs.

What You'll Do

• Set up, solve, and post-process high-fidelity CFD simulations for internal flows including inlets, combustors, and
  nozzles, and external aerodynamic flows across the flight envelope.
• Support inlet and nozzle flow path design studies using high-fidelity RANS or transient CFD as appropriate to the
  design phase.
• Generate aerodynamic and propulsion databases from CFD results for use in vehicle performance modeling and
  trajectory simulation.
• Develop and execute large-scale parametric CFD studies on commercial or government high-performance
  computing platforms.
• Support combustor and reacting-flow analysis workflows including fuel injection, atomization, and combustion
  process modeling as applicable to the propulsion architecture.
• Correlate CFD predictions against wind tunnel, direct-connect, or flight test data and help refine simulation setup
  based on observed discrepancies.
• Document CFD methodology, mesh and solver settings, and validation basis for each major analysis campaign.

Collaborate with the Aero-Propulsion and Flight Dynamics & Controls teams to ensure CFD-derived data products
meet the fidelity and format requirements of downstream simulation users.

CFD Methods & Simulation Execution

Develop and refine computational meshes for internal and external flow domains, balancing mesh resolution
against turnaround time requirements for each phase of design.
Configure and run RANS and, where required, transient high-fidelity CFD simulations (such as DES or DDES) for
inlet and combustor performance, nozzle flow, and external aerodynamic characterization.
