About the job: Remote | Aerodynamics Expert - $60-$130/hour We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Aerodynamics Experts with strong expertise in external aerodynamics, CFD, wind-tunnel testing, compressible and incompressible flow, turbulence, propulsion integration, and aerodynamic data interpretation to contribute to an advanced AI training and aerospace-engineering evaluation project. Selected professionals will solve and review advanced aerodynamic problems, assess AI-generated technical responses, analyse realistic design and testing scenarios, and provide rigorous feedback grounded in professional aerospace and thermofluids practice. No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Aerodynamics, CFD & Flow Analysis
  • Solve advanced aerodynamic design and analysis problems across varied operating conditions
  • Review CFD setups, boundary conditions, meshing strategies, solver choices, convergence, and numerical stability
  • Interpret pressure, velocity, force, and flow-field results
  • Apply compressible and incompressible flow principles, including Mach effects, shocks, expansion phenomena, and pressure changes
  • Analyse boundary layers, turbulence, separation, drag, and near-wall behaviour
  • Identify physically inconsistent assumptions, calculations, or conclusions
  • Experimental, Propulsion & Validation WorkReview wind-tunnel test setups, procedures, data-reduction methods, uncertainty, instrumentation, and scaling considerations
  • Compare experimental results against CFD, analytical methods, or hand calculations
  • Analyse propulsion-integration effects, including intake, exhaust, installation, and surface interactions
  • Apply verification and validation principles to computational and experimental results
  • Evaluate aerodynamic trade-offs affecting performance and stabilityAI Evaluation & Technical ReviewReview AI-generated aerodynamics and CFD content for correctness, completeness, and engineering quality
  • Identify calculation errors, weak assumptions, modelling issues, or unrealistic recommendations
  • Distinguish substantive engineering problems from acceptable alternative approaches
  • Provide clear written explanations and structured technical feedback
  • Collaborate remotely with other subject-matter experts and reviewers
  • Ideal Profile
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering with a thermofluids or aerodynamics specialisationBS in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant industry experience may also be suitable
  • At least 3 years of hands-on aerodynamic design or analysis experience
  • Strong expertise in external aerodynamics, compressible and incompressible flow, boundary layers, and turbulence
  • Experience with CFD and aerodynamic data interpretation
  • Familiarity with wind-tunnel testing or experimental aerodynamics
  • Experience with propulsion-integration aerodynamics is highly valuable
  • Ability to combine CFD, test data, analytical methods, and hand calculations
  • Familiarity with AIAA standards, wind-tunnel protocols, and CFD verification and validation practices
  • Experience with ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or comparable tools is advantageous
  • Flight-test data analysis experience is beneficial
  • Strong technical-writing, peer-review, and critical-analysis skills
  • Evidence of rigorous problem-authoring or technical-review experience is highly valued, including publications, standards work, examination writing, textbook authorship, technical awards, grants, fellowships, or comparable achievements
  • No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required
  • Engagement Details
  • Independent contractor engagement
  • Fully remote
  • Displayed compensation range: $60-$130/hour
  • Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
  • Task completion time may vary depending on experience and workflow
  • Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
  • Work will involve aerodynamics, CFD, wind-tunnel analysis, compressible and incompressible flow, turbulence, propulsion integration, technical writing, and AI-generated engineering-content evaluation
  • Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
  • Selected experts are expected to begin initial tasks within approximately 24-48 hours after onboarding
  • Project scope, workload, aerodynamic topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
  • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, manufacturer, research institution, laboratory, or other third party
