Design Engineer | Remote

Position: CFD Engineer

Type: Contract

Compensation: $50 - $150/hour

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10-40 hrs/week

Role Responsibilities

• Evaluate and solve advanced CFD challenges involving mesh generation, turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, heat transfer, and solver configuration.
• Review and assess AI-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering integrity.
• Apply practical engineering judgment to simulation scenarios and theoretical fluid-dynamics questions.
• Analyze and troubleshoot CFD problems using best practices such as mesh independence, turbulence model selection, boundary-condition specification, and convergence analysis.
• Contribute domain expertise to refine and inform the reasoning capabilities of AI in computational fluid dynamics.
• Document feedback and provide clear written and verbal explanations that enhance AI learning and performance.
• Collaborate remotely within a distributed network of technical experts and project participants.

Requirements

• Bachelor s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on fluid dynamics or thermofluids; or equivalent practical experience.
• Have strong relevant experience conducting and validating CFD simulations, including mesh generation, solver setup, turbulence modeling, multiphase/heat-transfer analysis, or post-processing.
• Deep understanding of Navier-Stokes equations, turbulence modeling (RANS, LES, DES), meshing strategies, boundary-condition specification, and verification & validation practices.
• Proven ability to analyze and validate fluid flow, heat-transfer, and multiphysics problems using CFD tools, cross-referencing with experimental or analytical data.
• Familiarity with relevant standards and practices (e.g., ASME V&V 20, AIAA CFD verification & validation, ITTC procedures).
• Excellent English proficiency with outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with CFD software (such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, or Converge) is a strong plus.
