## Description

Endiatx, Inc. · Hayward, California · Full-time, limited duration employment (3-6 months), with potential conversion to a long-term position · Recent master's or PhD graduates · Immediate start, We are seeking a Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer to lead flow modeling and validation for one of our development programs. You will own high-fidelity simulations from setup through validation and work cross-functionally to turn results into practical engineering models.

This is a CFD-first role. You are the person who makes sure our simulation of the capsule is physically correct. You will work alongside our Unity/MuJoCo software engineers and produce validated physics and simplified models/parameters. Interest in that real-time and machine-learning layer is welcome and will shape how the role grows, but it is not required on day one.
