Part Time Audio Signal Processing Machine Learning Jobs

Job Description:

56-$69 Analytical Mechanics Associates (AMA)is seeking a highly specialized Subject Matter Expert to serve in a part-time, advisory capacity. This consultant will provide strategic technical guidance and expert review at the intersection of computational aerothermodynamics, advanced modeling and simulation (M&S), and machine learning (ML).

Requiring a commitment of no more than 20 hours per month, this role is ideal for an established researcher, academic, or industry veteran looking to lend their expertise to cutting-edge aerospace challenges without a full-time commitment.

The hourly rate for this position is $59-$69 an hour commensurate with experience and education.

• Technical Advisory:Provide expert-level consultation on computational aerothermodynamics methodologies, physics-based modeling, and simulation strategies.

• Machine Learning Integration:Advise on the application and integration of machine learning algorithms (e.g., surrogate modeling, physics-informed neural networks, data-driven turbulence modeling) to enhance traditional CFD and aerothermodynamic workflows.

• Design & Architecture Review:Evaluate and provide feedback on the architecture of high-performance physical models and numerical methods.

• Strategic Roadmapping:Assist engineering teams in identifying emerging trends and state-of-the-art techniques in M&S and computational physics to maintain a competitive technical edge.

• Mentorship & Collaboration:Serve as a sounding board for senior engineers and developers, helping to troubleshoot complex physical and algorithmic challenges.

• Education:Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a strictly related computational discipline.

• Experience:A minimum of 5 years of active, post-Ph.D. professional experience specifically focused on computational aerothermodynamics, M&S, and ML.

• Domain Expertise:Deep foundational knowledge of hypersonic and supersonic flows, high-temperature gas dynamics, and advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

• Machine Learning Proficiency:Proven track record of applying machine learning, deep learning, or advanced statistical modeling to complex fluid dynamics or thermodynamic problems.

• Communication:Exceptional ability to distill complex theoretical concepts into actionable engineering guidance.

• Familiarity with modern, high-performance software architecture, particularly the development of robust C++ libraries for CFD codes (e.g., providing complex gas properties).

• Experience with heterogeneous computing environments, including GPU acceleration and parallel programming models (e.g., OpenMP, CUDA, Kokkos).

• Deep knowledge of physics of high-enthalpy flows, including thermal radiation, chemical kinetics, and transport processes.

• History of peer-reviewed publications in relevant aerospace, physics, or computational science journals.

This position requires U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residence.
