About The Position

For one of our clients, a world-renowned aircraft manufacturer, we are recruiting an Aerodynamic Specialist, In-Flight Icing & CFD.

Requirements

• Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Engineering with specialization in CFD and/or in-flight icing.
• Deep hands-on experience (typically 5–10+ years) in aerodynamic CFD and icing simulations with demonstrated certification or design impact.
• Strong fundamentals in numerical methods for PDEs, including spatial discretization, time integration, and solver technologies.
• Experience with mesh generation tools (Pointwise) and CAD environments (NX, Catia).
• Knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments and HPC best practices.
• Programming experience in C/C++ and Python.
• Fluent in English and French.
• Eligibility to work on defense projects (CGD, ITAR).
• Willingness to travel for short-term assignments.
• Relevant experience in the certification process, including interaction with regulatory authorities

Responsibilities

• Perform icing numerical simulations on complex aerodynamic configurations.
• Prepare, execute, and analyze high-lift and icing wind tunnel test campaigns, including CFD and certification.
• Architect and develop advanced mesh generation, deformation, and adaptation strategies for icing simulations.
• Analyze aerodynamic performance under icing conditions to support downstream design and system‑level assessments, including ice‑protection, stability and control degradation, and overall aircraft performance impact.
• Develop and integrate advanced CFD workflows for icing, leveraging High Performance Computing (HPC).
• Act as a technical reference in icing aerodynamics for Flight Sciences, Loads & Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Systems, and Certification teams.
• Support in-flight icing certification activities and regulatory authority interactions.
