What are some common challenges faced by CFD Engineers in their daily work?

CFD Engineers often encounter challenges related to setting up accurate models, selecting appropriate boundary conditions, and ensuring sufficient computational resources for complex simulations. Interpreting simulation results and translating them into actionable engineering recommendations can also be demanding, especially when dealing with multidimensional and turbulent flows. Collaboration with design engineers and project managers is key to incorporating real-world constraints and meeting project objectives efficiently. Staying current with advancements in simulation software and evolving project requirements can also be a rewarding part of the job, offering ongoing opportunities for professional growth.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Cfd position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Engineer, you need a strong background in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and advanced mathematics, often supported by a degree in mechanical, aerospace, or related engineering fields. Proficiency in CFD simulation software such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, or STAR-CCM+, along with programming skills in languages like Python or MATLAB, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to clearly communicate technical results are important soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure accurate modeling, effective problem-solving, and seamless collaboration within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What is a CFD job?

A CFD job involves using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to analyze and simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and related physical phenomena. CFD engineers or analysts work in industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing to optimize designs, improve efficiency, and solve complex engineering problems. They use numerical methods and simulations to predict how gases and liquids behave under different conditions. Strong skills in mathematics, physics, and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools are essential for this role.

Job description

Closing Date: Friday 10th July 2026

Fueled by bold ambition

To maximise the probability that aerodynamic performance is delivered to the racetrack by transforming how simulation, modeling, and data are used across the aerodynamic development cycle.

This role provides technical leadership and strategic direction for aerodynamic modeling and simulation - ensuring that our development tools (CFD/wind tunnel), methods, and metrics are predictive, aligned, and effective in driving on-track performance.

  • Own the effectiveness of aerodynamic simulation and modeling in delivering track performance
  • Increase the "hit rate" of aerodynamic developments reaching the car
  • Define and evolve the simulation strategy across CFD, wind tunnel, and track domains, enhancing computational and physical modeling capabilities
  • Improve confidence in development decisions through better correlation, metrics, and data usage
  • Strengthen decision-making frameworks across the development cycle
  • Increase reliability and predictive capability of aerodynamic tools
  • Align CFD, wind tunnel, and track data into a coherent development system
  • Partners across Aerodynamics, Vehicle Performance, Data Science, and Trackside Engineering
  • Communicates clear insights, risks, and opportunities to senior stakeholders

Requirements

What do we need from you?

  • Highly innovative and creative, with a deep understanding of race car aerodynamics and typical flow characteristics and behaviours
  • Strong understanding of the Formula 1 Technical Regulations
  • Experience in leading, managing and directly contributing to aerodynamic development across all areas of the car
  • Strong experience in state-of-the-art CFD/Wind Tunnel/Track aerodynamic testing approaches and methodologies 
  • Ambitious and self-motivating with the ability to motivate and extract maximum potential from others
  • Well versed with CFD and 3D CAD software (preferably 3DExperience/CATIA)
  • Demonstrate excellent interpersonal and leadership skills
  • Ability to line manage/lead teams effectively
  • Clear and concise communication, verbally and written, including with key stakeholders and directors
  • Strong levels of IT skills including MS Office, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
  • Positively contribute to an open and inclusive culture
