Aerospace Engineer - CFD Support

Corvid Technologies seeks qualified candidates for our applied Aerodynamics group. Entry-level applicants should have advanced degrees (MS, Ph.D.) in aerodynamics with a focus in Computational Fluid Dynamics. Experienced applicants must be able to demonstrate a background of applying CFD methods to real-world problems with 2-5 years of experience.

This position supports defense applications for a variety of missile performance programs that include both wind tunnel support and dynamic flight analysis. Corvid uses a variety of computational approaches to solve these problems using internally developed tools and methods.

Responsibilities

• Grid generation and development on complex internal/external geometries
• Development and execution of CFD solutions and application of the results to systems of interest
• Day-to-day informal and formal report generation
• Support proposal development on an as-needed basis

Requirements

• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance
• Strong background in fluid dynamics
• Strong background in Applied CFD methods
• Working knowledge of static and dynamic stability and flight dynamics modeling
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in a team setting
• Outstanding time-management and multi-tasking skills
• Knowledge of CAD modeling, TAOS (or other 6-DoF) software, Pointwise software, and GNC experience are considered a plus
• Formula SAE and AIAA affiliation are considered a plus

Candidates should be familiar with running and analyzing results from CFD applications, either commercial or research, but familiarity with a specific code is not a requirement. All candidates should be self-motivated and be able to demonstrate excellent written and oral communications skills as well as basic computer skills.
