Description: You don’t just want a job. You want an opportunity to be part of something special. A career at Spirit AeroSystems is that and more. This is where employees every day are given the chance to Dream Big and Make It Fly!
Spirit is a recognized leader in the global aerostructures market. Our customers are some of the best known aerospace manufacturers in the business. That means our employees work with exciting technologies and materials to design and build some of the world’s most popular aircraft. If you are looking for a company where you can make an impact right away, sharpen your skills, and be part of a dynamic culture, Spirit is the place for you. Teamwork is essential. Diversity is more than just a slogan. Initiative and innovation are valued. Our employees are leaders in community involvement and civic responsibility. Our company has a reputation for strengthening the communities where we live and work. Knowledge of airbreathing propulsion, fuel, and APU analysis techniques and methods. Knowledge of agency regulations regarding propulsion, fuel, and APU systems and vehicle installations. Ability to apply analytical skills to assess and determine propulsion systems, engine performance, cycle characteristics, environmental effects, fluid mechanics, component thermodynamics and fuel systems, management, tank containment, propulsion contamination, fuel chemistry, and propulsion system instrumentation to support assessment of vehicle propulsion system design and optimization. Ability to develop, apply, and communicate propulsion, fuel, and APU analyses.
Position Requirements: The candidate should be experienced in creating complex grids and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations for internal and external aerodynamic studies. That experience should include an assignment either working for a major engine OEM or as a subcontractor providing results to an OEM. The CFD skill set should include Fluent and one other CFD code. The grid generation skill set should include either ICEMCFD and/or Centaur and at least one additional grid generation tool. The candidate should be able to explain the physical relevance of the simulations to both technical peers and senior management. The candidate should be able to define a CFD test plan and report the results within the project deadlines. Additionally, the candidate should be experienced in both following and developing design procedures. Mentoring lower level engineers both directly and via design procedures will be required. This position requires both technical leadership and a personal desire to take personal ownership of the CFD process.
Some knowledge of the basic high performance computing environment (Linux and CCS) required for massively parallel computations will be required.
Educational Requirements: An advanced degree in aerospace engineering (MS or PHD) from an ABET accredited institution.
