Job Description
Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Aerodynamics Expert to contribute to an advanced AI training and aerospace-engineering evaluation project. The selected professional will solve and review advanced aerodynamic problems, assess AI-generated technical responses, and provide rigorous feedback grounded in professional aerospace and thermofluids practice.

What You Will Do

The key responsibilities include solving advanced aerodynamic design and analysis problems, reviewing CFD setups, interpreting pressure and flow-field results, and applying compressible and incompressible flow principles.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in external aerodynamics, compressible and incompressible flow, boundary layers, and turbulence, and experience with CFD and aerodynamic data interpretation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with a thermofluids or aerodynamics specialisation
  • BS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant industry experience
  • At least 3 years of hands-on aerodynamic design or analysis experience
  • Strong expertise in external aerodynamics, compressible and incompressible flow, boundary layers, and turbulence
  • Experience with CFD and aerodynamic data interpretation
  • Familiarity with wind-tunnel testing or experimental aerodynamics
  • Experience with propulsion-integration aerodynamics is highly valuable
  • Ability to combine CFD, test data, analytical methods, and hand calculations
  • Familiarity with AIAA standards, wind-tunnel protocols, and CFD verification and validation practices
  • Experience with ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or comparable tools is advantageous
  • Flight-test data analysis experience is beneficial
  • Strong technical-writing, peer-review, and critical-analysis skills
  • Evidence of rigorous problem-authoring or technical-review experience is highly valued
