Aerodynamics specialists will formulate and validate CFD problems, create geometries and meshes, choose fluid properties and boundary conditions, run command-line solver workflows, and judge whether results are physically and numerically sound. Applicants need graduate training in aerospace or a related mechanical-engineering specialization, or a relevant bachelor’s plus one to two years of aerodynamic experience. Strong fluid-mechanics and CFD skills are central. The source lists global remote contracting at roughly 15 hours per week with pay of $80–$120 per hour.
Responsibilities
- Solve and validate aerodynamic and fluid-dynamics problems.
- Translate physical requirements into computational models and solver-ready cases.
- Create or modify geometries, computational domains, and meshes.
- Define appropriate initial conditions, boundary conditions, fluid properties, and solver settings.
- Run CFD and aerodynamic-analysis workflows using command-line-accessible tools.
- Use Python to automate preprocessing, simulation execution, parameter sweeps, postprocessing, and validation.
Requirements
- An MS or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with an aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, or thermofluids specialization; or
- A BS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering plus at least 1–2 years of aero-specific professional or research experience.
- Strong understanding of fluid mechanics and applied aerodynamics.
- Experience formulating and executing CFD or aerodynamic analyses.
- Practical proficiency with Python .
- Experience with at least one engineering tool or library that can be operated through a CLI, scripting interface, configuration files, or programmatic API.
- Ability to select and justify modeling assumptions, boundary conditions, mesh strategies, and solver settings.
- Ability to diagnose non-convergence, unstable solutions, incorrect results, and physically invalid outputs.
