Preferred Qualifications * Experience supporting aerospace and/or defense applications. * Experience validating CFD models against experimental, wind tunnel, or field-test data. * Experience using high-performance computing resources for complex CFD simulations. ## Description Aurex is seeking an experienced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer to perform advanced modeling and simulation supporting aerospace and defense applications. This role will lead CFD analyses involving fluid flow, heat transfer, and multiphase systems and work closely with engineering teams to translate complex physical problems into accurate computational models. The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in CFD modeling, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and simulation tools and can effectively translate analysis results into actionable engineering recommendations., * Lead CFD simulations involving fluid flow, heat transfer, and multiphase systems using tools such as ANSYS Fluent, CFX, or STAR-CCM+. * Translate complex physical problems into accurate computational models, including geometry preparation, mesh generation, boundary condition definition, and solver setup. * Collaborate with design engineers to incorporate CFD analysis and recommendations into CAD models and mechanical designs. * Validate simulation results using experimental data, wind tunnel testing, or field measurements. * Evaluate and optimize designs for performance, manufacturability, and compliance with applicable industry standards. * Document simulation methodologies, results, conclusions, and engineering recommendations in clear technical reports., Aurex is an Equal Opportunity Employer. It prohibits discrimination, retaliation, or any type of harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, citizenship, immigration status, or any other legally protected status in employment, including in hiring, firing, and recruiting decisions. All applicants must be authorized to work lawfully in the United States for positions at Aurex. There may be limited circumstances in which a law, regulation, executive order, or government contract would require certain citizenship; only in those limited circumstances would Aurex require certain citizenship status to comply with the relevant law, regulation, executive order, or government contract applicable to that position. For all other positions, Aurex does not consider an applicant's citizenship but only requires that the applicant be authorized to work lawfully in the United States. If a position is one that falls under export control laws and regulations requiring authorization from the U.S. government to access export-controlled items, any hiring is contingent on the applicant passing the export compliance assessment, which is separate from the I-9 process, for that specific position. A background check will be required prior to any hire. ## Related Videos - [Cloud Vendor Lock-In - Is it just a new version of the Database Abstraction Layers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1185-cloud-vendor-lock-in-is-it-just-a-new-version-of-the-database-abstraction-layers) - [TresJS a new declarative ThreeJS as Vue components](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/543-tresjs-a-new-declarative-threejs-as-vue-components) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [Colorful quantum randomness](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100257-colorful-quantum-randomness) - [Cross platform Augmented Reality development with React Native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/160-cross-platform-augmented-reality-development-with-react-native) - [Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: Evaluating RAG Systems with Synthetic Test Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1982-stop-guessing-start-measuring-evaluating-rag-systems-with-synthetic-test-data) ## Related Articles - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
