What is a senior CFD engineer?

A Senior CFD Engineer is an experienced professional who specializes in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), using advanced simulation software to analyze and solve complex problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, and related phenomena. They are responsible for designing, conducting, and interpreting simulations to improve product designs or processes in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy. In addition to deep technical expertise, Senior CFD Engineers often mentor junior staff, lead projects, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal solutions.

What types of projects and industries do senior CFD engineers typically work on, and how does this diversity impact their daily responsibilities?

Senior CFD Engineers often contribute to a wide range of projects across industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. This diversity means that daily tasks can vary significantly, from developing simulation models for aerodynamic analysis to optimizing thermal management systems. The role frequently involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—including design, testing, and manufacturing engineers—to integrate CFD insights into product development. As a result, Senior CFD Engineers must be adaptable and skilled at communicating technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior CFD engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior CFD Engineer, you need advanced knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods, supported by a degree in engineering or a related field and several years of relevant experience. Expertise in industry-standard CFD software such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or OpenFOAM, as well as proficiency in scripting languages (like Python or MATLAB), is vital. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and effective communication skills help you interpret results and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies ensure accurate simulations, innovative solutions, and effective project delivery in complex engineering environments.

About this Role

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.

What You'll Do

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
What You'll Bring

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
What You'll Get
  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
  • 401(k) plan with company match
