Aeroacoustic CFD Engineer - Intermediate

Windsor, ON CANADA |

Description

  • The Computational Fluids Dynamic (CFD) Engineer is responsible for performing simulations for aero/thermal development, support windnoise, buffeting and climate control acoustics development. The CFD Engineer will work closely with Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Integration engineers, HVAC/Interior, Body engineering as well as Advanced Concepts Engineering and Styling Studio to communicate simulation results and recommendations. The candidate will use several simulation software tools such as PowerFLOW, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, and ANSA to perform required simulations. Detailed job duties include:
    • Perform Vehicle Level Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to support Aero/Thermal Development and assessment including windnoise, buffeting, and HVAC acoustics.
    • Work on future vehicle programs with a focus on process efficiency and innovation.
    • Pro-actively develop and carry out CFD simulations for new programs based on vehicle content and functional objectives.
    • Work closely with aero/thermal integration engineers, release groups and design studios to communicate simulation results and implement design improvements.
    • Prepare high quality presentations to communicate simulation results and design recommendations to various groups.
    • Ensure CFD model validity and correlation on a continuous basis.
    • Make design changes to demonstrate benefits and perform multiple 'what if' studies to guide the design process.
    • Fully engage in vehicle development activity and proactively take ownership of simulation activity to best guide the design team.
    • Participate in vehicle testing activities to enhance correlation between physical testing and virtual simulations.

Requirements

  • 3 years’ experience - Aeroacoustics development is a complex field with many intricacies that require cumulative years of experience.
  • Direct experience of vehicle aerodynamics using CFD, and an understanding of acoustics and signal processing required. Typically, involvement in at least 1 vehicle programs will give a person adequate exposure to such details.
  • Additional Must Haves
    • Experience of CFD applied to automotive aerodynamics.
    • Knowledge of acoustics and signal processing.
    • Good presentation and communication skills.
    • Onsite/ Remote Hybrid (Predominantly remote with the expectation of limited travel to ARDC facility in Windsor.)
    • No d]riving of company Vehicle
    • No travel
