Senior CFD Engineer

PhysicsXPerthRemoteFull-time3 weeks ago

PhysicsX is seeking a Senior CFD Engineer to join its founding team in Perth, Australia. The role involves building CAE models, running high-fidelity simulations, and working at the intersection of CAE and Data Science to support AI-driven engineering solutions. Candidates should have a foundation in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and multiphase modelling, with experience in CFD tools like Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or Fluent.

What you'll do

Building models from geometry clean-up and meshing through to simulating and post-processing, for simple to moderately complex cases, with guidance from senior engineers on the more difficult aspects.
Adapting and using parametric CAD models (NX or CATIA), and beginning to contribute to simulation pipeline automation for design optimisation and DoE studies.
Supporting customer-facing work by helping prepare and present results clearly, under the direction of more senior team members, while building toward doing this independently.
Working at the intersection of CAE and Data Science to help generate simulation datasets for training Machine/Deep Learning models, and developing your understanding of how data sampling choices affect model accuracy and cost.
Using Flux (our cloud platform) and on-premise HPC resources to run simulations, and learning how to apply smarter meshing and setup choices to improve performance.
Learning and applying engineering best practices, and helping adapt CFD model setups and outputs to support Deep Learning surrogate development.
Contributing to a culture of collaboration and shared learning within the Simulation Engineering guild - for example, sharing what you learn, flagging gaps in documentation, or (at L2) starting to support onboarding of newer engineers.
