CFD Correlation Engineer

We have an opportunity to join the CFD group as a correlation engineer. This role should appeal to a candidate a good grounding in physics and / or CFD with an aptitude for analysis and problem solving. You will be primarily responsible for identifying and investigating CFD miscorrelations. As a member of the CFD correlation group you will be expected to tune and enhance the CFD recipes used throughout the aerodynamics department to address miscorrelations.

As a CFD Correlation Engineer, you will:

• Investigate miscorrelations and understand their root causes.

• Develop and contribute innovative ideas to improving CFD.

• Provide at elbow-support to aerodynamicists running bespoke non-production simulations.

• Develop methodologies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our CFD tools and workflows.

• Work with aerodynamicists and CFD engineers to solve problems and develop processes.

• Ensure that CFD simulations and analysis carried out within the department are aligned to the capability of the tools.

• Working and contributing across multiple disciplines of the CFD group; including process, external flows, internal flows and thermal modelling.

• Contribute to the day-to-day & problem-solving activities of the CFD group.

Our ideal CFD Correlation Engineer will have:

• Good knowledge of physics and CFD.

• Be enthusiastic about code development and willing to learn best practices.

• Attention to detail.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
