  • Support integration of new and updated methodologies into established CFD workflows
  • Communicate findings clearly to stakeholders
  • Provide technical guidance to CFD users to ensure consistent methodology application

  • 2+ years’ experience in a relevant motorsport CFD role
  • Strong grounding in fluid dynamics, numerical methods, and turbulence modeling
  • Reliable, accurate, and able to deliver high‑quality work under time pressure
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Confidence engaging with technical and senior stakeholders
  • Experience with commercial or open‑source CFD solvers, ideally for thermal applications
  • Experience correlating CFD with wind tunnel, dyno, or track data
  • Understanding of solver behavior, numerical stability, or modeling limitations
