TL;DR
Propulsion CFD Engineer (Aerospace): Conducting computational fluid dynamics analysis of propulsion system components and thruster plumes for a reusable space orbital vehicle with an accent on flow physics, component design, and vehicle-level integration. Focus on performing CFD simulations for valves and injectors, modeling thruster plumes, and validating models against test data.
Location: Bordeaux, France. Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship are provided.
Salary: €50K – €70K
Company
The Exploration Company is developing Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle designed for cargo and potential human transport.
What you will do
- Perform CFD simulations of propulsion components (valves, regulators, injectors) to analyze internal flow and pressure drops.
- Model thruster plume characterization from near-field continuum expansion to far-field rarefied flow.
- Assess plume-induced thermal, contamination, and force effects on vehicle surfaces and subsystems.
- Collaborate with design, structural, and thermal engineers to translate CFD results into actionable design inputs.
- Validate and correlate CFD models against cold-flow and hot-fire test data.
- Maintain and improve CFD simulation workflows, meshing practices, and technical documentation.
Requirements
- M.S. or Ph.D. in aerospace or a related field.
- 3+ years of hands-on CFD experience in propulsion or fluid dynamics.
- Proficiency in ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or equivalent tools.
- Experience with compressible, multiphase, and/or rarefied gas flows.
- Fluent English proficiency (C1).
- Strong foundation in thermodynamics, gas dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with plume characterization methods such as DSMC or continuum-rarefied coupling.
- Scripting skills in Python or MATLAB for meshing and workflow automation.
- Knowledge of German or French languages.
Culture & Benefits
- Agile decision-making environment focused on democratising space.
- Open and collaborative culture with transparency regarding risks and obstacles.
- Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship available.
- Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge reusable orbital vehicle in a fast-evolving environment.
