Aerodynamics Expert (MSc. or PhD) | Remote - Contract

Aerodynamics Expert (MSc. or PhD) Location: Global, fully remote Job Type: Contractor (~15 hours per week) Schedule: Flexible—you can choose the hours and days you work, including weekends if desired We are looking for a highly skilled Aerodynamics Expert to contribute to an AI training project involving computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamic analysis, engineering simulation, and Python. The work involves creating, solving, reviewing, and validating engineering tasks that can be completed through programmatic, command-line-based workflows. A representative task may require analyzing an airfoil, preparing a computational domain and mesh, defining appropriate boundary conditions, running a CFD simulation, calculating lift and drag, and determining whether the resulting flow field is numerically and physically valid. Required Skills Python Aerodynamics What You’ll Work On Solve and validate aerodynamic and fluid-dynamics problems. Translate physical requirements into computational models and solver-ready cases. Create or modify geometries, computational domains, and meshes. Define appropriate initial conditions, boundary conditions, fluid properties, and solver settings. Run CFD and aerodynamic-analysis workflows using command-line-accessible tools. Use Python to automate preprocessing, simulation execution, parameter sweeps, postprocessing, and validation. Required Qualifications An MS or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with an aerodynamics, fluid dyn
