Director, Industrialization

Full-stack Engineer

• Design, loft and optimize components that affect the aircraft aerodynamics and outer mold line (OML).
• Build models, clean CAD geometry, and generate computational meshes to run CFD simulations that:
• Inform aircraft trade studies and configuration design decisions using appropriately fidelity levels.
• Support aerodynamic design across all phases, from concept development through certification.
• Develop and maintain high-fidelity aerodynamic databases for performance prediction, external-loads analysis, and real-time six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) simulations.
• Correlate and validate CFD results against simulations of varying fidelity (e.g. cross-code comparisons, wind-tunnel testing, and flight-test data). Iterate models as new data becomes available.
• Post-process and analyze simulation and test data. Summarize results in reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders, as needed.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (performance, acoustics, loads, stability and control, control laws, systems, and instrumentation) to define simulation parameters and requirements, ensure model accuracy, and provide CFD expertise to guide design decisions.
• Develop and improve the software methods, tools, and workflows that support aerodynamic modeling.
• Support verification and validation activities that rely on model outputs (e.g., failure hazard assessments (FHAs)).
• Train and mentor junior aerodynamics engineers.
