CFD Engineer - Non-F1 Solver

CFD Engineer – Non‑F1 Solver

Location: Brackley, UK

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced CFD Engineer to join our team, working on methodology for our non‑F1 projects. In this role, you’ll help develop our CFD solvers: improving the fidelity and efficiency of the toolset used by our aerodynamicists to develop high‑performance vehicles. It’s a great time to join us. Working closely with key stakeholders, you’ll play a pivotal role in evolving our tools from concept to deployment, making a tangible impact on the processes used by our non‑F1 Aerodynamics Group.

• Creating a roadmap for non‑F1 aerodynamic CFD solver, aligned with project goals and requirements for our future toolset
• Improving the efficiency and fidelity of the CFD aerodynamic solvers that are applied to non‑F1 projects
• Working independently and with other specialists to design, develop, implement, benchmark, test and validate new capabilities in a robust fashion
• Maintaining and improving existing toolsets

You have an established record developing CFD solvers for aerodynamic flows, with experience of:

• Developing and adapting finite‑volume CFD solvers running on state‑of‑the‑art hardware, to deliver toolsets that are robust, accurate and offer significant improvements in efficiency
• Best‑practice in using different CFD techniques to simulate real aerodynamic flows, including alternative approaches and their limitations
• Your knowledge of state‑of‑the‑art solver methods and your skills in implementing them may have been gained through experience in a professional position or in an academic setting (eg PhD or Post Doc in the field of CFD methodology).

With an open and honest communication style and broad overview of your subject, you collaborating in a team setting and enjoy discussing technical concepts. You are equally comfortable working on your own, applying your reflective nature, interpretive skills, attention to detail and dependable judgment to understand complicated problems then propose and evaluate quality solutions in a timely fashion. Looking to fulfil your potential, you are keen to develop yourself further in a demanding role, excited about constantly learning while fostering the understanding of others.

Experience of working in a high‑performance environment such as motor sport is not required; we are more focussed on your potential to deliver at the highest level, applying your skills and understanding to practical data problems.
