## Description

NASCAR is seeking an experienced Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics Engineer.

You will oversee NASCAR's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) initiatives, running simulations from CAD model creation through post-processing. Your responsibilities will include producing detailed analytical reports and supporting wind tunnel testing for research and development efforts and new vehicle submissions.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Lead the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program in collaboration with TotalSim USA, managing aero team concepts and requests from CAD through post-processing.

- Maintain CFD models for all three NASCAR national series, supporting performance evaluation, liftoff analysis, and thermal studies.

- Assist with R&D wind tunnel testing, including vehicle preparation, prototype part fabrication, and data analysis.

- Support the new vehicle submission process.

- Communicate effectively with internal teams and external partners.

- Travel approximately 10%, including some weekends.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering; a Master's degree is preferred.

- One to two years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.

- Experience with CATIA, Beta CAE ANSA, OpenFoam, Siemens STAR-CCM+, ParaView, or similar tools is highly desirable.

- Background in automotive aerodynamics,especially high-performance or racing vehicles,is preferred.

- Strong interest in race car aerodynamics, CFD, and the role aerodynamics plays from single-vehicle performance to full-field behavior.

- Solid fundamentals in aerodynamics and CFD, including lift and drag, ground effects, and numerical simulation methods.

- Strong ability to interpret wind tunnel and on-car data.

**Benefits:** NASCAR offers competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package focused on wellness, and opportunities to grow and develop both personally and professionally.

**Why This Role?:**

- Work on real, high-performance race cars.

- See your work translate into results.

- Use cutting-edge simulation and analysis.

- Work in a highly collaborative environment.

- Be part of a unique engineering culture.
