Job description
CFD Aerodynamics Engineer
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled CFD Aerodynamics Engineer to join our team, ideally with 1-2 years experience. The successful candidate will be responsible for contributing to the design and development of a variety of projects, ranging from bicycles, to HGVs to motorsport cars, through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct CFD simulations and analysis to evaluate aerodynamic performance of various vehicles and products.
- Collaborate with the design team to develop innovative aerodynamic solutions that improve vehicle and product performance and efficiency.
- Interpret and present CFD results to the design team and management, highlighting key findings and recommendations for further improvements.
- Work with the experimental testing team to ensure CFD results match experimental data, and vice versa.
- Contribute to the development of simulation methodologies and tools to improve the accuracy and efficiency of CFD simulations.
- Keep up-to-date with the latest aerodynamic trends, technologies, and regulations.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong background in aerodynamics theory and fluid dynamics principles.
- Ideally 1-2 years of experience in CFD aerodynamics, preferably in the motorsport industry. Although strong graduates with good practical CFD experience from University will also be considered.
- Proficient in using CFD pre-processing and solving software (STAR-CCM+ is desired. ANSA, OpenFoam would be a bonus) and post-processing tools (EnSight is desired. ParaView would be a bonus).
- Experience with CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.) is desirable.
- Programming skills (Python, Bash, PoweShell, Java, VBA) would be a bonus.
- Experience using Linux operating systems would be a bonus.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced team environment.
- Passion for innovation and a desire to push the boundaries of aerodynamic design.
We offer competitive salary packages and benefits, as well as the opportunity to work with a world class team of engineers and designers. If you meet the requirements above and are excited about the prospect of working on a variety of projects through CFD simulation, please apply with your CV and a cover letter to [email protected] by 30th April 2023. Recent graduates with experience in genuine CFD projects at university are also welcome to apply.
