About this role

About the role

Help train and evaluate AI agents on expert-level fluid simulation tasks. You'll take CAD geometry, set up and run simulations, build verified reference solutions, and write Python checks for the agent's results.

Requirements

  • A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field such as energy or oil & gas. A PhD is preferred but not required.

  • Several years of hands-on industry or research CFD with OpenFOAM, ANSYS Fluent/CFX or STAR-CCM+, including meshing.

  • Solid verification and validation practice: mesh-independence studies, and validation against experiment or benchmarks.

  • Comfortable with Python and GitHub.

  • English at B2 level or above.

  • Nice to have: aerospace, automotive, offshore or turbomachinery background; multiphase or particle-laden flow experience.

  • Project time expectations

  • For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

  • Compensation

  • On this project, contributors can earn up to $39 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.

  • Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.

  • Why this freelance opportunity might be a great fit for you?

  • Work fully remote on your own schedule with just a laptop and stable internet connection.

  • Apply your expertise to real-world technology projects while gaining experience building high-quality solutions for a global platform.

  • Participate in performance-based bonus programs that reward high-quality work and consistent delivery.
