Job Description

Aero-Hydro modelling is key to characterize and improve the performance of the craft as well as design the plant model for the control system. You would be thinking from first principles to develop vehicle and environment models based on physics.

What you will do

• Modify CFD solvers to model ground effect accurately and validate with wind tunnel data
• Perform multi-phase simulations for capturing hydrodynamic behaviour and validate with towing tank test results
• Write optimization frameworks to come up with the optimal aero-hydro-propulsion design to satisfy all the performance criteria
• Work with the controls team to provide an accurate plant model for all the controls optimization

What we expect

• First principles physics based thinking with a lot of common sense
• Extreme obsession with physical validation with mild skepticism for simulations
• Good with open source CFD solvers (or can learn it quickly) ; preferably you have built such simulations before
