Senior Lead Engineer - Aero Thermal - Hybrid

Overview

Lead advanced aerothermal simulation efforts with a strong focus on CFD and thermal analysis for aerospace products, owning complex fluid-thermal problems across external aerodynamics, internal flow systems and conjugate heat transfer.

What you'll do

• Lead end-to-end CFD and thermal simulation activities for aerospace products.
• Perform and oversee external aerodynamics and internal flow analysis, including compressible, turbulent, and advanced Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) simulations.
• Develop and execute multiphase flow models (e.g., Mixing, Evaporation).
• Drive Multiphysics simulations integrating fluid flow, heat transfer, structural interaction, and, where applicable, chemical reactions.
• Optimize designs for thermal performance, aerodynamic efficiency, and Thermal Compliance.
• Provide technical direction, mentoring, and guidance to junior and mid-level engineers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design, structures, materials, and testing.
• Contribute to proposal development, technical reviews, and customer presentations.
• Manage and execute complex flow problems using CFD and other analytical tools and methods.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or master's in mechanical or aeronautical engineering with 7-10 years of experience.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects and teams.
• Good knowledge of aerospace standards such as DO-160, Boeing and Airbus requirements, materials and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency in ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+ and ICEPAK (must-have).
• Strong understanding of heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, electronics packaging, multiphase and multiphysics.
• Demonstrated expertise in thermal testing and correlation with analysis results.
• Strong understanding of numerical methods, discretization schemes, and solver behavior.
• Experience with mesh generation, grid independence studies, and solution convergence.
• Strong technical, written and verbal communication skills.
