Benefits offered by this job

Equity

Job summary

Tiberius Aerospace is seeking a CFD Engineer to support aerodynamic and propulsion analysis for 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 CFD results into design guidance for the rest of the team

Qualifications

• B.S. or higher in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
• 2–5 years of CFD experience on air vehicle, propulsion, or munition programs.
• Hands-on with major CFD solvers (Fluent, STAR-CCM+, FUN3D, etc.).
• Working knowledge of meshing tools for internal and external aerodynamic flow domains.
• Understanding of compressible aerodynamics across subsonic to high-supersonic regimes.
• Proficiency in CFD post-processing, data reduction, and automation.
• U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Set up, solve, and post-process high-fidelity CFD simulations for internal and external flows.
• Support inlet, combustor, and nozzle analysis and propulsion CFD during design phases.
• Generate CFD-based databases for vehicle performance modeling and trajectory simulation.
• Develop and run large-scale parametric CFD studies on HPC platforms.
• Correlate CFD predictions with wind tunnel/flight data and document discrepancies.
