CFD Engineer, Launch Program

Role Purpose

The CFD Engineer owns the aerodynamic and aerothermal analysis capability for NordSpace's launch vehicle, SHARP hypersonic platforms, and future programs. This role is responsible for generating aerodynamic databases, predicting thermal environments, planning and executing wind tunnel test campaigns, and correlating computational results against tunnel and flight data to build validated analysis methods. Working across structures, propulsion, avionics, and mission teams, this engineer provides the aerodynamic and aerothermal inputs that drive vehicle design decisions from concept through flight.

Core Responsibilities

Vehicle Aerodynamics & Aerothermal Analysis:

• Generate ascent, transonic, supersonic, and re‑entry aerodynamic databases (force and moment coefficients, pressure distributions, stability derivatives, control‑surface effectiveness) for the launch vehicle, SHARP hypersonic platforms, and future programs.
• P...
