Skyroot Aerospace jobs - Aerodynamics Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Aerodynamic analysis of launch vehicle using low to high fidelity tools to estimate aerodynamic behaviours which includes external flow simulations, stage separation analysis using 6DOF models.
• Establish robust CFD methodologies to estimate aero characteristics of launch vehicle using open source and commercial CFD tools.
• Work with vehicle configuration team on various space launch vehicle development programs.
• Strong system level thinking and ability to give design suggestion based on simulation results.
• Produce high quality documentation of work assigned.

Preferred skills and experience:

• Aerospace/Mechanical Engineer with minimum 1-2 years of relevant experience.
• Strong fundamental understanding of external aerodynamics and heat transfer for space vehicle applications.
• Experience in store/stage separation problems using CFD with 6DOF model.
• Experience in opensource CFD tools as OpenFoam, SU2 for external aerodynamics applications.
• Experience in complete CFD process (Pre-processing, Solver setup and Post processing) for external aerodynamics and internal heat transfer applications.
• Experience in running steady-state and transient CFD problems using ideal and real gas equation of state.
• Experience in extracting external aerodynamics data such as force/moment coefficients and aerodynamic loads for various flight regimes using CFD and analytical methods.
• Extremely good at creating water-tight geometry and high-quality hybrid or structured meshes for external aerodynamics and internal flow simulations using ANSYS-ICEMCFD or any meshing softwares.
• Familiar with computational fluid dynamics software (CFD): Preferably ANSYS-Fluent/CFX.
• Proficient in any one of the programming languages such as MATLAB/Python/Shell to automate the work process and post processed data.
• Experience in Linux environment with shell scripting is desirable.
• Experience in CAD modelling using Solid works or any design tool is desirable.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, rapidly changing work environment.
