About the Role: We are looking for a highly capable CFD Engineer to join our advanced simulation team, working within a fast-paced, commercially successful civil helicopter programme . This role sits within a leading UK-based helicopter and gas turbine OEM, supporting the aerodynamic and thermal optimisation of airframe and propulsion systems . You will apply CFD tools—particularly … helicopter aerofoils, wings, rotors , and associated systems. The role involves working in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment, contributing across early design, validation, and optimisation phases. Key Responsibilities: Perform CFD simulations using ANSYS CFX and Fluent to support the aerodynamic and thermal design of: Gas turbine components (e.g. compressors, turbines, combustors, ducts). External aerodynamics (e.g. rotor-fuselage interaction, intakes … and full rotor systems in hover and forward flight conditions. Cooling and environmental control systems. Generate high-quality structured and unstructured meshes for complex geometries using ANSYS Meshing, ICEM CFD, or equivalent tools. Run large-scale simulations on HPC clusters , manage parallel jobs efficiently, and optimise compute resources. Post-process simulation results using CFD-Post, Tecplot, ParaView, or custom scripting More ❯
