What does an Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer do?

An Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer leads advanced engineering projects that involve the simulation and analysis of fluid flows using computational methods. They oversee the development, validation, and implementation of CFD models to solve complex engineering problems in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy. In this executive role, they also manage teams, coordinate with cross-disciplinary departments, and contribute to strategic decision-making to enhance product performance and innovation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer?

To thrive as an Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer, you need advanced knowledge in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods, typically demonstrated by an engineering degree and extensive experience in CFD analysis. Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, and programming languages like Python or MATLAB, as well as familiarity with high-performance computing environments, is essential. Strong leadership, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills enable you to manage complex projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams. These skills and qualities ensure accurate simulations, innovative solutions, and successful project outcomes in technically demanding environments.

How does an Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during large-scale projects?

As an Executive CFD Engineer, collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential, especially on complex projects involving aerodynamics, thermal management, or product optimization. You’ll regularly coordinate with design engineers, project managers, and manufacturing specialists to ensure simulation insights translate effectively into design improvements. Clear communication of technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders is a common expectation. Additionally, you may mentor junior engineers or guide team-wide adoption of new simulation tools and best practices, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

What is the difference between Executive Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer vs Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer?

AspectExecutive Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD EngineerComputational Fluid Dynamics CFD Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, often with leadership experienceBachelor's or Master's in Engineering or related field
Work EnvironmentLeadership roles, project management, client interactionDesign analysis, simulation, technical tasks
Industry UsageSenior technical roles, project oversightTechnical CFD analysis, modeling

The Executive CFD Engineer typically combines technical expertise with leadership responsibilities, overseeing projects and managing teams. In contrast, the CFD Engineer focuses on technical simulation work and analysis without managerial duties. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds, but the executive position emphasizes strategic planning and client communication.

Job description

QISG leverages Quanta’s comprehensive resources to deliver collaborative solutions for our partners' energy infrastructure needs. We use in-house talent, expertise and resources to plan, design, engineer, manage, conduct maintenance on and construct projects.


Our turnkey service capabilities provide our customers with efficiency, consistency, attention to detail and safe execution. The QISG team brings together Engineering, Safety, Quality, Material Procurement, QA/QC, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Scheduling, Environmental Planning, Permitting, Title and Land Management expertise that ensure outstanding results for our clients.


Dynamic Systems (DSI), LLC is seeking a Pipe Stress, Hydraulic & CFD Engineer to support the design, analysis, and optimization of industrial process piping and HVAC/airflow systems. This role combines pipe stress analysis, hydraulic system modeling, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) including airflow and thermal performance modeling for critical environments such as data centers, cleanrooms, and industrial facilities — to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient system operation. Analytical results inform design decisions made across mechanical, process, and controls engineering teams.


General

  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including mechanical and controls engineers
  • Prepare engineering calculations, technical reports, specifications, and visualizations summarizing modeling results for internal and client review
  • Stay current on modeling software, industry standards, and best practices in piping, hydraulic, and airflow/thermal analysis

Pipe Stress & Hydraulic Analysis

  • Perform pipe stress analysis and flexibility evaluations using CAESAR II, AutoPIPE, ROHR2, or equivalent software
  • Perform hydraulic modeling and flow analysis using PIPE-FLO
  • Analyze pressure drop, flow distribution, control valve performance, pump sizing, and system operating conditions
  • Evaluate piping systems for thermal expansion, sustained loads, occasional loads, vibration, wind, and seismic effects
  • Evaluate equipment nozzle loads and develop support recommendations

CFD & Airflow/Thermal Analysis

  • Build and run CFD models to evaluate airflow, temperature distribution, and thermal performance of HVAC systems and building spaces
  • Analyze and validate design assumptions for critical environments (data centers, labs, cleanrooms)
  • Translate CFD results into actionable design recommendations for the engineering team
  • Support commissioning by comparing as-built performance to modeled predictions

We are actively seeking both early-career engineers with approximately 2+ years of relevant experience and experienced technical leaders with 10+ years of expertise. Candidates at all qualified experience levels are encouraged to apply.

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience in one or more of the following: pipe stress analysis, hydraulic modeling, or CFD analysis (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, Siemens STAR-CCM+, CAESAR II, AutoPIPE, ROHR2, PIPE-FLO, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and piping/HVAC system behavior
  • Ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to non-specialist engineers and project managers
  • Relevant experience level: approximately 2+ years (early-career) or 10+ years (senior/technical lead) —candidates at all qualified levels encouraged to apply

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience modeling mission-critical facilities (data centers, cleanrooms, pharma)
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Scripting/automation experience (Python, MATLAB) for modeling workflows
  • Experience supporting semiconductor, life sciences, or advanced manufacturing projects

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
  • 401(k) plan with company match
