Aerodynamics Engineer

Job
Description:

The Advanced
Engineering Lab at Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) focuses
on advanced technology research and development for world-class vehicles, and
currently is looking for a talented and motivated aerodynamics engineer to
support vehicle aerodynamic development.

This
"Aerodynamics Engineer" will be mainly using CFD tools and conducting wind
tunnel test to evaluate aerodynamics for vehicle development purpose as well as
advanced studies. From early styling
design phase to proto vehicle phase, the engineer will conduct a collaboration
with a various on-/off-site departments (styling design studio, engineering
design, production quality, test, and so on.) by sophisticated assessment
methodologies.

Responsibilities:

*
Build and modify vehicle CAD model with CAD
software.

*
Conduct CFD simulation on vehicle models/wind
tunnel test/on-road test to evaluate and improve the vehicle aerodynamics
performance.

*
Analyze the results obtained from a various
assessment utilizing a knowledge for aerodynamics of road vehicle and optimize
to improve aerodynamics.

*
Collaborate with exterior designers and other
engineering discipline to improve aerodynamic performance of Hyundai/Kia/Genesis
vehicles.

*
Maintain good working condition with other teams
within Hyundai Motor Group and collaborative partners.

*
Monitor and seek new technologies and trend in
the vehicle-exterior-related field.

*
Develop novel flow control technology to improve
aerodynamic performance.

*
Study of
correlation between real world and wind tunnel aerodynamic characteristics of
road vehicle.

Required Experience:

*
Mechanical/aerospace engineering degree
specializing in low-speed aerodynamics.

*
Master/PhD degree with research topic in
low-speed aerodynamics.

*
Fundamental understanding of low-speed
aerodynamics with in-depth understanding of bluff body flow.

*
Familiarity with CFD, wind tunnel testing
methods for aerodynamics.

*
Experience in CFD software, STARCCM+/PowerFLOW
preferred.

*
Experience in CAD software, CATIA/ANSA is
preferred.

*
Good problem solving and analysis skills.

*
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

*
Passion for aerodynamics.

Preferred Experience:

*
Master's degree in mechanical/aerospace
engineering with 5-year experience in aerodynamics-related field, or a PhD
degree with 3-year experience.

*
Experience in CFD analysis for external/internal
aerodynamics applications.

*
Experience in Linux & parallel computations
with HPC/cloud computing resources.

*
Experience in wind tunnel testing/real-world
testing.

*
Experience in correlation between CFD analysis
and wind tunnel test/on-road test.

*
Experience in optimization method, algorithm and
software.
