Job Description Role Title: Aerodynamics Expert
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
the company is selecting Aerodynamics Experts to contribute to a customers project focused on advancing the capabilities of AI technologies in aerospace this role youll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn reason and perform through high-quality real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required your domain knowledge is what matters. This is an opportunity to impact the future of engineering by ensuring that AI systems can accurately interpret solve and explain complex aerodynamics challenges spanning external aero CFD wind tunnel testing propulsion and vehicle aero. Experts with a passion for precision technical detail and clear written and verbal communication will find this engagement both rewarding and influential.
Scope of Work
- Evaluate and solve advanced aerodynamic design and analysis problems spanning external aero CFD wind tunnel testing propulsion and vehicle aero.
- Review and assess AI-generated technical responses for technical correctness accuracy and engineering quality.
- Apply practical engineering judgment to real-world aerodynamic design scenarios and theoretical questions.
- Analyze and troubleshoot aerodynamic problems using industry-standard techniques such as boundary-layer theory potential flow analysis compressible flow relations and CFD/wind-tunnel data reduction.
- Contribute domain expertise to inform model improvements and refine AI reasoning in aerodynamics.
- Document feedback and provide clear written and verbal explanations to enhance AI learning and performance.
- Collaborate remotely with a distributed team of experts and project participants.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelors degree and above in Aerospace Engineering or ME with a thermofluids/aero specialization; or BS in Aerospace/ME with 3 years of relevant industry experience.
- At least 3 years of hands-on experience in aerodynamic design or analysis (external aero CFD wind tunnel propulsion or vehicle aero).
- Expert knowledge of compressible and incompressible flow boundary-layer behavior turbulence modeling and propulsion-integration aerodynamics.
- Proven ability to analyze aerodynamic performance using CFD tools wind-tunnel data reduction and hand/analytical methods.
- Familiarity with relevant standards and practices (AIAA standards wind-tunnel test protocols CFD verification & validation).
- Professional English proficiency with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with CFD software (ANSYS Fluent STAR-CCM OpenFOAM) wind-tunnel testing or flight-test data analysis is a plus.
- Strongly preferred evidence of problem-authoring rigor such as: service on an olympiad problem committee; a textbook problem-set or solutions-manual author credit; an item-writer role on an NCEES or academic qualifying-exam committee; service on an AIAA standards committee; a top placement or team-lead role in AIAA Design/Build/Fly SAE Aero Design NASA RASC-AL or University Student Design Challenge or a DARPA challenge; a best-paper award at AIAA SciTech/Aviation APS DFD JFM or AIAA Journal; or an early-career fellowship/grant (NSF CAREER DOE Early Career ONR/AFOSR YIP DARPA YFA Sloan Fellowship) or AIAA Associate Fellow / NAE Frontiers of Engineering recognition.
