Responsibilities:
Perform (or lead) analysis to find aerodynamic coefficients and/or airflow characteristics of an air vehicle (fixed wing and/or rotary wing UAVs) or of an individual external components/equipment via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and/or other analysis methods.
Perform (or lead) CFD analysis of compartment bays for airflow characterization and/or for thermal coefficients determinations.
Lead design effort of aerodynamic shape of the AV.Perform trade-off studies related to aerostat and derivatives.
Collaborate effectively with system, avionics, and mechanical teams to optimize aero and fluid dynamics and thermal management solutions for optimum system performance.
Lead determination of locations and characteristics of attitude and air sensors.
Work closely with the mechanical team to define the optimum location of the sensors.
Work closely with the avionics team to define the equations and look-up tables for air and attitude sensors.
Perform testing and data collection in laboratory and field environments pertaining to define avionics LRUs and AV compartments environmental conditions.
Define and test aerodynamic loads.
Perform wind tunnel tests, clean the test data, and support aerodynamic database preparation efforts.
Manage small size development projects outsourced to sub-contractors (development of a single component or equipment).Execute team lead or specialist assignments effectively in accordance with the given schedule, milestones, and available resources.
Effectively use the following CAD/CAE tools to perform the above activities:
CFD analysis tools ANSYS Fluent.
Excel, and Visual Basic or Matlab.
CATIA for Solid modeling.
FEA tools (Nastran) for thermal or structural analysis purposes.
