Remote CFD Engineer — Multimodal & Technical Practice

Partner with SMR Talent Collective from anywhere in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, or Ireland as a remote Remote CFD Engineer — Multimodal & Technical Practice ($50 - $150/hour). This specialist role focuses on evaluating AI model outputs, authoring domain-specific rubrics, and validating technical workflows involving CFD engineering, Aerodynamics, fluid-dynamics.

Project Responsibilities

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on fluid dynamics or thermofluids; or equivalent practical experience (3+ years) in CFD.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience conducting and validating CFD simulations, including mesh generation, solver setup, turbulence modeling, multiphase/heat-transfer analysis, or post-processing in industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, HVAC, process, or biomedical.
• Evaluate and solve advanced CFD challenges involving mesh generation, turbulence modeling, multiphase flow, heat transfer, and solver configuration.
• Review and assess model-generated technical responses for correctness, accuracy, and engineering integrity.
• Apply practical engineering judgment to simulation scenarios and theoretical fluid-dynamics questions.
• Analyze and troubleshoot CFD problems using best practices such as mesh independence, turbulence model selection, boundary-condition specification, and convergence analysis.
• Contribute domain expertise to refine and inform the reasoning capabilities of AI in computational fluid dynamics.

Required Expertise

• Core Competencies: CFD engineering, Aerodynamics, fluid-dynamics
• Comprehensive command of Navier-Stokes equations, turbulence modeling (RANS, LES, DES), meshing strategies, boundary-condition specification, and verification & validation practices.
• Proven ability to analyze and validate fluid flow, heat-transfer, and multiphysics problems using CFD tools, cross-referencing with experimental or analytical data.
• Working knowledge of relevant standards and practices (e.g., ASME V&V 20, AIAA CFD verification & validation, ITTC procedures).
• Excellent English proficiency with outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
• Practical background using CFD software (such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, or Converge) is a strong plus, as is a documented history of problem-authoring, technical committee service, competition leadership, or peer-recognized contributions in the CFD community.
