Aerodynamics Engineer (OpenFOAM or Fluent)

San Francisco, USA · 2-month internship · September to mid-November We are building an amazing flying machine - and we need your help to make it fly. Small team, well-funded, prototype already works. For two months in San Francisco, you'll do the aerodynamics that decides what gets built. What you'll actually do Simulate the whole aircraft in OpenFOAM — airfoils, fuselage, and how it all works together. Crack the hard problems: electric ducted fans and their airflow co-dependence, ducted flows, control surfaces, ground effect. Run it all on our own in-house HPC — no queues, no cloud bills. Help us build an AI-native OpenFOAM setup where iteration takes hours, not weeks. Impact maxing — your simulations decide what gets printed and what flies. You should be able to Set up, run, and debug OpenFOAM cases on your own — this one is non-negotiable. Use agentic AI tools to do in a day what others take a week to do — without losing the judgment to know when the output is wrong. Ready to own this from day one. Top-notch communication skills are essential. What you get Two intense months in San Francisco (September through the first weeks of November). Your own HPC to run wild on. Talented, motivated, intense, and interesting coworkers. A front-row seat to hardware that helps launch the next generation of flight. CVs are appreciated, but we expect candidates to share their CFD work — cases, videos, repos, write-ups.
