Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Aerodynamic design and analysis of single engine aircraft using low to high fidelity tools to estimate aircraft aerodynamic characteristics.
• Prepare Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) external simulations to model how geometry will perform
• Be able to understand and design for various flight conditions and suggest solutions to optimize flight performance.
• Perform CFD analysis of internal structures such as battery pack, motors and other equipment that require thermal management or fluid flow.
• Collaborate with Design and Structural analysis teams to determine various aerodynamic loads and optimize aerodynamic performance
• Identify and develop creative solutions to resolve engineering/styling/aerodynamic conflicts
• Strong system level thinking and ability to give design suggestions based on simulation results.

Design parts, prepare for, and conduct, model scale and full scale wind tunnel tests, and provide feedback Produce high quality documentation of work assigned. Support various developmental milestones including prototype, pre-production, and production build events When required be able to design aerodynamic surfaces using CATIA/ Solidworks

Preferred skills and experience:

• Aerospace/Mechanical Engineer with minimum 2-3 years of relevant experience.
• Strong fundamental understanding of aerodynamics and heat transfer
• Experience in complex CFD analysis using open source or commercial CFD tools.
• Hands-on experience in complete CFD process (Pre-processing, Solver setup and Post processing) for external aerodynamics and heat transfer applications.
• Able to create water-tight geometry and high-quality hybrid or structured meshes for external aerodynamics flow simulations.
• Good experience with computational fluid dynamics software (CFD): Preferably ANSYS-Fluent/CFD
