Senior CFD AnalystActive

Anduril is seeking a Senior Computational Fluid Dynamics Analyst to join the Maneuver Dominance team in our London office. The Maneuver Dominance (MD) Team at Anduril develops autonomous aerial robotic systems designed to operate in large coordinated teams in concert with ground maneuver forces.

What you'll do

• Own and drive the aerodynamic analysis of the payload carriage and release system for a novel aircraft type.

• Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right: level of analysis to apply. Apply and execute progressively more complex analysis methods (hand calculations, spreadsheet, MATLAB and ANSYS/STAR-CCM+ models) as appropriate to the situation.

• Develop appropriate computational models and simulations to predict aircraft: performance, flight dynamics, rotor dynamics, aerodynamic loads and payload safe separation as needed to meet design schedules.

• Work in collaboration with Mechanical Design, Stress Engineers, Actuation: Engineers and Airframe Architects to create and refine design solutions based on best practice.

• Participate in technical efforts to define requirements, propose solutions,: and establish a methodology for evaluating and verifying system design from an aerodynamic perspective. This will involve close collaboration with partner organizations, in both the UK and US.

• Support the design, instrumentation, execution and data processing of tests: to validate models and predictions.

What they're looking for

• Experience with development and analysis of payload carriage and release systems.
• Experience in developing tooling for safe separation analysis.
• Experience in rotorcraft CFD analysis.
• Demonstrated passion for aviation, aerospace, and/or unmanned systems.
• Outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills.
