Job Description

What are your contributions to the team?

• 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.

How to thrive in this role?

• 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.
