• Collaborate with R&D partners and external stakeholders
• Work in a transnational capability development team (Europe and India)
• Contribute to interfaces between Airbus and external research establishments
• Supervise PhD students across CFD topics
• Support the global strategy for Airbus computational simulation
• Assist in benchmarking CFD tools and developing proofs of concept

Key requirements

• 3 years of industrial CFD experience in aerodynamics, transonic flows and propeller configurations
• Good knowledge of CODA CFD chain use and ANSA Meshing tool
• Mastering Python or C++ (object-oriented)
• Innovative mindset
• Awareness of compliance risks and a commitment to integrity

• Strong communication and collaboration
• Customer-focused mindset
• Adaptability and proactive problem solving
• RANS, URANS, and LES methods
• ANSa Meshing
• CODA CFD chain
