About this role

At Capgemini Engineering, the world leader in engineering services, we bring together a global team of engineers, scientists, and architects to help innovative companies unleash their potential. From autonomous cars to life-saving robots, our experts provide unique R&D and engineering services across industries. Join us for a career full of opportunities where you can make a difference and no two days are the same.

As a Junior Aerodynamics CFD Engineer, you will use computational fluid dynamics software to analyse aerodynamic behaviour, generate models, and provide data for aircraft and engine development. Focus on simulating airflow around aircraft designs and engines to optimize performance, handling, and safety. Key skills include expertise in CFD software, meshing, data analysis, and aerodynamics.

Work in a hybrid role with 3 days a week in the Mirabel office, maintaining direct relationships with clients and team members. Represent your work during client meetings, lead junior engineers, and contribute to project completion. Collaborate in a busy environment with short timescales.

Analyse CFD results, extract insights, and present findings to stakeholders to drive aircraft design improvements. Build aerodynamic models from CFD and experimental data like wind tunnel and flight tests. Grow by writing technical reports and optimizing designs through aerodynamic analysis.

Requirements

Must be a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
Must be able to work onsite in Mirabel 3 days a week
A minimum of 2 years of experience
A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with a specialization in aerodynamics
Proficiency in CFD software, meshing techniques, and turbulence modelling
Strong understanding of aerodynamic principles, flight mechanics, and aircraft performance
Ability to analyse, interpret, and present CFD results effectively
Excellent communication skills with a good level of verbal and written English

Responsibilities

Work with 3D CAD models (e.g., 3DX, CATIA, SolidWorks) to prepare geometries for CFD simulations
Prepare CFD meshes (e.g., Fluent Meshing, ICEM CFD, ANSA or CADfix)
Use CFD software (like TAU, CODA, elsA, Ansys Fluent, OpenFOAM, STAR-CCM+) to simulate airflow and analyse aerodynamic performance
Post-process CFD solutions (e.g., python scripts, Tecplot, Paraview)
Create aerodynamic models and databases based on CFD and experimental data (wind tunnel, flight tests)
Contribute to the optimization of aircraft designs by analysing aerodynamic behaviour
Analyse CFD results, extract insights, and present findings to stakeholders
Lead junior engineers to integrate CFD results and contribute to project completion
