About the role

Bombardier is a global manufacturing leader in business jets. Our products and services deliver world-class transportation experiences, setting new standards in passenger comfort, energy efficiency, reliability, and safety. We are a global organization that thrives on collaboration and team spirit.

In this role, you will develop and optimize advanced CFD software for aircraft design applications. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team (aerodynamics, structures, loads & dynamics, thermodynamics), you will help improve high-fidelity solver capabilities, scalable numerical methods, and reduced-order modelling workflows for next-generation aircraft development. This posting is for a temporary employee working on a full-time basis.

What are your contributions to the team?

• Develop and optimize CFD solvers for complex aircraft configurations.
• Implement numerical methods for the Navier-Stokes equations, including discretization, time integration, turbulence modelling, and solver acceleration.
• Support high-order CFD methods for scale-resolving aerodynamic simulations.
• Develop Reduced-Order Models for aeroelasticity, optimization, flight-control studies, and digital-twin applications.
• Scale scientific codes on HPC platforms using MPI, OpenMP, and parallel programming best practices.
• Maintain software quality through CI/CD, regression testing, benchmarking, code reviews, and documentation.
• Validate CFD tools against wind-tunnel, flight-test, and reference data.

How to thrive in this role?

• You hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
• You have a strong background in CFD, compressible aerodynamics, Navier-Stokes solvers, and turbulence modelling.
• You have experience developing scientific software in C++ and Python.
• You have practical experience with Linux, HPC environments, MPI, and OpenMP.
• You have knowledge of ROM techniques such as PCA, POD, PROM, and projection-based modelling.
• You are familiar with Git, CI/CD, automated testing, benchmarking, and peer code reviews.
• You are eligible to work with controlled aerospace data, including CGD and/or ITAR-restricted programmes.
• You are fluent in both English and French.

Desired Assets

• You have experience with DG, Spectral Element, Flux Reconstruction, CPR, or other high-order CFD methods.
• You have experience with GPU acceleration using CUDA, HIP, Kokkos, or similar technologies.
• You have exposure to aeroelasticity, FSI, flight controls, optimization, or aircraft digital twins.
• You have experience validating CFD simulations using wind-tunnel or flight-test data.

Now that you can see yourself in this role, apply and join the Bombardier Team!
