Perform numerical icing simulations on complex aerodynamic configurations.
Prepare, execute and analyze wind tunnel test campaigns (high-lift and icing), including CFD and certification activities.
Design and develop advanced mesh generation, deformation and adaptation strategies for icing simulations.
Analyze aerodynamic performance in icing conditions to support design and system evaluations (ice protection, degradation of stability and control, overall impact on aircraft performance).
Develop and integrate advanced CFD workflows for icing using high-performance computing (HPC).
Act as the technical authority for icing aerodynamics for Flight Sciences, Loads & Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Systems and Certification teams.
Support flight certification activities in icing conditions and engage with regulatory authorities.
Requirements
Master’s degree or PhD in engineering with a specialization in CFD and/or in-flight icing.
5 to 10+ years of practical experience in aerodynamic CFD and icing simulations, with demonstrated impact on certification or design.
Strong foundations in numerical methods for PDEs, including spatial discretization, time integration and solver technologies.
Experience with mesh generation tools (Pointwise) and CAD environments (NX, CATIA).
Familiarity with UNIX/Linux environments and HPC best practices.
Programming skills in C/C++ and Python.
Proficiency in French and English.
Eligibility to work on defense projects (CGD, ITAR).
