Job Title:
Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer

Reports To:
Technical Manager

Job Overview:
Introfoc is looking for an experienced and dedicated CFD Engineer to join its highly competent team supporting aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, wind turbine design and wind tunnel operations. The successful candidate will work in a fast-paced work environment together with a team of professionals on the design, analysis and development of WindiBox, an innovative urban environment, small-scale wind turbine. We offer the chance to work on an exciting project using the latest and best development tools.
The candidate is expected to combine industry experience, engineering ability, technical and analytical skills, computer skills (CAE and simulation industrial software), interpersonal skills, and presentation skills to communicate ideas and knowledge about advanced designs and relevant technologies.
Duties will include applying modelling and simulation methodologies for complex problems that involve fluid-structure-interaction on an innovative urban environment, small-scale wind turbine, assessing and evaluating data from experimental (wind tunnel) and real-life tests, preparation of contract deliverables (technical and progress reports, final reports, briefings, etc.), collaborating with other engineering and academia teams for the purposes of project completion, participating in technical internal and external meetings. The work location will in Nicosia, Cyprus. Salary will depend on qualifications and experience.

Required Educational Qualifications:
BSc/BEng and/or MSc/MEng Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering or closely related Engineering or Science fields with specialisation in wind turbine advanced CFD applications and wind turbine design and development.

Additional Educational Qualifications:
Relevant PhD with specialisation in wind turbine advanced CFD applications and wind turbine design and development will be considered an advantage.

Minimum Experience Required:
Minimum 7 years of dedicated experience in wind turbine advanced CFD applications and wind turbine design and development projects. The candidate must provide proven experience and competencies within the referred sectors of interest.
Experience in experimental facilities for wind turbine design and development will be considered an advantage.

Language Requirements:
English (Fluent verbal and written communication)

Required academic and technical expertise:
