North Wind is an independent engineering and test services company that accelerates the development and deployment of mission-critical aerospace systems. It provides end-to-end capabilities across the full lifecycle — applied R&D (including hypersonic and high‑speed air‑breathing propulsion, aerodynamics, materials and systems integration), design and production of developmental test articles and mission‑critical components, flight test systems, and ground test facilities and services. North Wind supports both industry and government programs with turnkey flight-test vehicles, advanced instrumentation, and deep domain expertise in testing and evaluation.

📋 Description

• Develop, set-up, and execute CFD simulations using commercial or open-source solvers for high-speed aerospace system problems, including external and internal flows. • Create aerodynamic databases for vehicle trajectory simulations and performance models. • Perform analysis of internal flows of airbreathing propulsion flowpaths. • Develop and recommend design solutions to optimize aerodynamic performance and operability for high-speed systems. • Apply advanced data science techniques with machine learning to build surrogate models of CFD simulation results. • Support multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) efforts. • Interpret and validate CFD simulation results against experimental data.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering or a related field. • 10-15+ years of experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to aerospace systems. • Proficient in CFD tools such as Pointwise and Tecplot for mesh generation software and post-processing results. • Strong programming skills for modeling and analysis (e.g., Python, MATLAB / Simulink, Fortran, or C++), including scripting for automation of simulations and data reduction. • Experience generating aerodynamic data for trajectory simulation, mission analysis, and performance trade studies. • Familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) for large-scale CFD simulations, including operating in a Linux environment. • Strong written and verbal communication. • Proficiency in interpreting engineering plans, technical drawings, and specifications.

🏖️ Benefits

• Satellite engineering offices across the US are available so location constraints are potentially flexible. • This position is eligible for remote work.
