CFD Engineer — AI Task Designer (OpenFOAM)

Location: Remote

What you will do

• Design compact, self-contained CFD and aerodynamics tasks for evaluating AI engineering reasoning.
• Write precise problem statements covering boundary-condition selection, mesh quality, flow-regime identification, and simulation setup.
• Develop deterministic checkers that automatically evaluate model answers.
• Provide verified reference solutions and confirm that tasks are solvable and correctly scored.
• Review tasks for physical accuracy, clarity, and appropriate difficulty using practical OpenFOAM experience.
• Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with OpenFOAM.
• Strong foundations in fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and heat transfer.
• Experience with mesh generation, turbulence modeling, boundary-condition specification, and post-processing.
• Ability to formulate precise, self-contained, objectively verifiable engineering problems.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex physics clearly.
• Background in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline; BE/BSc or higher preferred.

Nice to have

• Experience with multiple CFD solvers or multiphysics platforms.
• Python, Bash, or MATLAB scripting for simulation setup or post-processing.
• Experience with design optimization, flow-control strategies, or adjoint methods.
• Graduate-level coursework or research in aerodynamics, propulsion, or computational methods.
• Experience writing technical assessments, exam problems, or engineering challenges.

Culture & Benefits

• Hourly freelance contract with a commitment of 10–40 hours per week.
• Fully remote and flexible work arrangement.
• Independent, asynchronous work with task-based assignments.
• Weekly payouts.
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
• Quick screening process.
