Key Duties, Responsibilities, and Deliverables

  • Work with product teams to define features for single-phase CFD solutions based on customer needs and implement industrial-grade solvers.
  • Define solution strategies for fluid flow systems and implement numerical methods for compressible and incompressible flows, with emphasis on incompressible internal flows and conjugate heat transfer.
  • Architect Finite Volume Method (FVM) implementations on unstructured grids, including flux schemes, gradient methods, and boundary conditions.
  • Develop turbulence modeling capabilities (RANS, DDES, LES) and moving parts solutions (MRF, sliding mesh) for industrial applications.
  • Write high-performance C++ code (C++17 or later) and implement parallel computing solutions using MPI and CUDA.
  • Drive best practices for code quality, testing, and enterprise-level software development.
  • Create technical documentation and work directly with customers to iterate on solutions based on feedback.
  • Verify implementation and validate chosen methods and models for accuracy and performance in production environments.
  • Expertise and Qualifications

  • PhD in Computational Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.
  • 5+ years of industrial CFD development experience with a proven track record of delivering customer value.
  • Deep expertise in numerical methods for fluid flows, including compressible and incompressible single-phase applications.
  • Practical experience with Finite Volume Method (FVM) on unstructured grids and strong fundamentals in numerical methods and linear solvers.
  • Production-level C++ programming (C++17 or later) with ability to write performant, scalable code.
  • Experience with GPU computing for solving CFD equation systems and parallel programming using MPI and CUDA.
  • Proficient in Python and enterprise software development practices including testing and CI / CD.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively.
  • Background and Experience

  • Physics Expertise : Comprehensive knowledge of turbulence modeling (RANS, DDES, LES), moving parts (MRF, sliding mesh), and application-specific modeling. Ideally with emphasis on incompressible internal flows, heat transfer in solids, and Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT). Multiphysics experience is a plus.
  • Technical Leadership : Leads by example through shipping high-quality code with velocity. Biased toward shipping early and iterating quickly with internal teams and external customers.
  • Startup Environment : Thrives in a fast-paced startup environment with a collaborative approach and clear communication. Curious and quick learner across product areas outside existing expertise.
  • In-Office Commitment : Enthusiastic about being in-office 5 days a week, contributing to our collaborative development culture.
