About the role

Maritime Hydrodynamics CFD Engineer responsible for designing, simulating, and validating high-scale hydrodynamics simulations to support hull form optimization and AI-driven physics models, with direct collaboration to CEO and AI research team.

Responsibilities

  • Design, preprocess, mesh, simulate, and post-process hydrodynamics for maritime hull designs at unprecedented scale and speed
  • Come up with creative ways to design, mesh, and simulate hundreds or thousands of hull geometries systematically, building the data pipelines that will train our foundation models
  • Guide the development of our product and our revolutionary new AI models for physics by working directly on research problems with our AI team, bridging the gap between traditional CFD and cutting-edge ML
  • Work directly with clients to solve their problems and define benchmark datasets, validation criteria, and workflows that prove our models can match or exceed traditional simulation accuracy
  • Generate high-quality simulation data at scale, every simulation you run directly improves our foundation models
  • Advise the AI research team on the nuances that matter: free surface modeling (VOF, level-set), wave dynamics, resistance components (viscous, wave-making, form), appendage effects, propeller-hull interaction, seakeeping, maneuvering, multiphase flow considerations
  • Lead technical customer conversations with customers and internal teams, translating between the world of marine CFD and the world of AI

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of industry hands-on experience in hydrodynamics CFD simulation in maritime industries. Including preprocessing, simulation, post-processing, and design.
  • Expert in solver frameworks (STAR-CCM+, FINE/Marine, OpenFOAM, ORCA, or similar).
  • Deep understanding of ship hydrodynamics, hull form design, free surface flows, meshing strategies, boundary conditions, and numerical methods.
  • Solid understanding on parameterizing CAD to generate different variants of geometry
  • Strong communicator capable of bridging customers, engineering and research teams.
  • Outstanding execution velocity and delivery.
  • Exceptional creativity, problem-solving ability, ambition, and attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working in high-intensity, fast-paced startup environments with evolving priorities and tight deadlines.
