Aerodynamics Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze and solve aerodynamic and fluid mechanics problems using engineering principles and computational methods.
• Develop computational models based on physical requirements and engineering specifications.
• Create or modify aerodynamic geometries, computational domains, and simulation meshes.
• Define appropriate boundary conditions, initial conditions, fluid properties, and solver configurations.
• Execute CFD simulations and aerodynamic analyses using command-line-accessible or scriptable engineering tools.
• Use Python to automate simulation workflows, preprocessing, parameter sweeps, post-processing, and result validation.
• Calculate and interpret aerodynamic quantities, including lift, drag, pressure distribution, and flow characteristics, where applicable.
• Troubleshoot numerical issues and evaluate the physical validity and reliability of computational results.
• Develop repeatable workflows for simulation execution, data analysis, and engineering verification.
