Job summary

Author and revise engineering practice documentation, and conduct pipe network flow, heat transfer, and thermodynamics analyses. Run coupled CFD studies, interpret results for aircraft design and component sizing, and develop test plans and document findings from analyses and ground and flight testing.

Job details

⚠️⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT – Work authorization required in Canada: No international recruitment. Applicants must already hold valid Canadian work authorization at the time of applying (work permit, permanent residence, or Canadian citizenship). ⚠️⚠️⚠️ CONTRACT — Thermal & Fluid Dynamics Engineer (Aerospace) Location: Toronto or Montreal Hybrid position Your role on the team In this position, you'll author and revise engineering practice documentation while tackling pipe network flow, heat transfer, and thermodynamics problems. A central part of the work involves running complex coupled fluid–heat transfer studies using CFD, then interpreting those results in light of aircraft design and proper component sizing. You'll also build out test plans and capture findings from analysis work as well as ground and flight testing. What you bring to thrive here You hold a master's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, with exposure to fluid mechanics, heat transfer, in-flight icing, and CFD-based analysis. You're genuinely drawn to demanding CFD and finite element work, and you back that up with 5 to 8 years (minimum) of hands-on internal flow CFD experience; any background in inlet/outlet design and analysis is a welcome plus. On the technical side, you're comfortable with Star-CCM+, Ansys Fluent, SpaceClaim, and SimCenter3D, and you have strong MS Office skills (Excel at an advanced level). Familiarity with programming, working through complex codebases, and interfacing with HPC environments is an asset — think Unix-based systems and languages such as Fortran 77/95, Visual Basic, C++/C#, and Python. Beyond the tools, you're a self-driven, inventive team contributor with solid interpersonal skills and clear written and spoken communication. You're also open to occasional short-term travel as assignments require.
