Sr. Engineer

Role Overview: Perform icing numerical simulations on complex aerodynamic configurations. Prepare, execute, and analyze high-lift and icing wind tunnel test campaigns, including CFD and certification. Architect and develop advanced mesh generation, deformation, and adaptation strategies for icing simulations.

Analyze aerodynamic performance under icing conditions to support downstream design and system‑level assessments, including ice‑protection, stability and control degradation, and overall aircraft performance impact. Develop and integrate advanced CFD workflows for icing, leveraging High Performance Computing (HPC). Act as a technical reference in icing aerodynamics for Flight Sciences, Loads & Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Systems, and Certification teams.

Support in-flight icing certification activities and regulatory authority interactions. Required Skills Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Engineering with specialization in CFD and/or in-flight icing. Deep hands-on experience (typically 5–10+ years) in aerodynamic CFD and icing simulations with demonstrated certification or design impact.

Strong fundamentals in numerical methods for PDEs, including spatial discretization, time integration, and solver technologies. Experience with mesh generation tools (Pointwise) and CAD environments (NX, Catia). Knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments and HPC best practices.

Programming experience in C/C++ and Python. Eligibility to work on defense projects (CGD, ITAR).
