Computational Aerodynamics Researcher

Responsibilities

• Conduct semi-empirical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to characterize the aerodynamic performance and stability of novel munition concepts.
• Perform detailed studies of complex flow phenomena, including vortex interactions, shock-boundary layer interactions, and turbulence.
• Develop and execute coupled performance simulations in collaboration with partners in heat transfer, flight dynamics, and control.
• Apply aerodynamic, flight mechanics, and acoustics principles to predict physical behaviors associated with aeroballistic launch and flight.
• Develop and apply advanced meshing techniques to achieve highly accurate and efficient CFD results.
• Identify gaps in experimental and simulation capabilities and propose technical solutions.
• Prepare and present technical documentation and presentations summarizing research efforts.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 5+ years of relevant experience (exceptional candidates with less experience will be considered).
• Experience with computational aerodynamic models such as CFD++ or Ansys/Fluent.
• Experience executing research to evaluate the aerothermodynamic behavior of high-speed projectiles.
• U.S. citizenship is required.
• Active Security Clearance or eligibility to obtain.

Benefits

• Competitive salary ($105,000 - $125,000 depending on experience).
• Bonus potential.
• Comprehensive insurance options.
• Paid Time Off (PTO).
• 401(k) with company match.
• Tuition reimbursement.
• Flexible scheduling.
