CFD Applications Engineer (m/f/d)

We are seeking a highly skilled CFD Applications Engineer to join our team at Synopsys. As a CFD Applications Engineer, you will work with customers to solve real engineering problems, and your recommendations will directly impact their product development timelines.

You have spent years studying the physics of fluid flow and understand the challenges of helping others comprehend complex simulation setups. You can communicate effectively with aerospace engineers and customers, explaining intricate trade-offs in simple terms.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the technical sales cycle, from discovery calls to proof-of-concept projects and benchmarking evaluations
• Applying your CFD expertise to help customers set up simulations that answer their engineering questions
• Collaborating with customers to understand their challenges, build simulation workflows, and recommend methodologies that balance accuracy and turnaround time
• Delivering technical training, workshops, and presentations on compressible flow physics
• Providing hands-on consulting on active customer projects, troubleshooting setup issues, and guiding teams toward solutions
• Collaborating with R&D and Product Management to relay customer requirements and contribute to future product direction

The impact you will have includes:

• Enabling customers to solve complex fluid dynamics problems faster, directly affecting their product development timelines
• Shortening the time from software evaluation to deployment by delivering clear technical guidance during the sales process
• Improving customer success by ensuring teams know how to use the tools correctly and avoid common pitfalls
• Influencing the product roadmap by surfacing real customer needs and testing new features against problems engineers actually face
• Building long-term customer relationships rooted in technical trust
• Expanding CFD simulation reach within customer organizations by training engineers who will run hundreds of analyses using your workflows

To qualify, you will need:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with a strong foundation in fluid mechanics and numerical methods
• Deep knowledge of computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, compressible flow physics, and numerical solution techniques
• Hands-on experience applying CFD to solve real engineering problems in industry or research
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex simulation concepts to both engineers and business stakeholders
• Comfort working directly with customers in pre-sales, consulting, or technical support roles
• Experience with high-speed, transonic, supersonic, or compressible flow simulations is a strong plus, especially in aerospace, defense
• Familiarity with Ansys Fluent, Ansys CFX, or similar CFD tools, and experience with Python scripting is a significant advantage

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs.
