The Role:

This position is a Senior Aerodynamics/ CFD Systems Engineer to support development of a new Software team focused on Aero & Computational Fluid Dynamics. For this role you will expected to have progressive, demonstrated success in software development experience developing applications using a variety of tools, languages, frameworks, and technologies. What You'll Do (Responsibilities): + Implement and maintain GM Motorsports aero-thermal applications including CFD model construction, visualization, and analysis using microservices architectures to creatively integrate loosely coupled systems. + Define a templated approach to integrate dependent systems in a functional programming model. + Scrum story delivery. + Playbooks, implementation architectures, interfaces, build frameworks, code, testing, deployment for your story. + Participation in solution architectures. + Working with other members to collaborate, support, and otherwise work together. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications): + 5+ years hands-on full-stack or backend-focused development experience, with strong emphasis on server-side architectures supporting batch processing, multi-stage pipelines, and compute-intensive workloads (e.g., CFD workflows, large numerical simulation pipelines, HPC job orchestration). + 2+ years designing and developing backend web services ( REST / GRPC ) including server-side batch execution engines, distributed compute orchestration, asynchronous task processing, and workflow automation for CFD or similar computational pipelines. + Demonstrated experience building high-performance server-side processing frameworks, including parallelized job execution, distributed scheduling, queue-based workloads, and fault-tolerant pipeline management. + Strong experience with pipeline-oriented architectures, such as CFD post-processing chains, multi-stage data conditioning workflows, large model computation pipelines, or batch-driven scientific/engineering processing systems. + Proficiency in two or more backend-focused languages or ecosystems: Java, Python, Scala, C#/. NET , or equivalent, used to build distributed compute services and processing automation. + Experience with containerized compute environments (Kubernetes, Docker), especially for scaling simulation services, HPC workflow endpoints, or compute-heavy microservices. + Solid understanding of software development best practices, DevOps, CI/CD, observability (metrics/logging/tracing), and reliability engineering for long-running, high-load backend systems. + Experience working in an agile/scrum environment, especially on teams delivering simulation pipelines, compute orchestration services, or backend system components. People Skills + Demonstrated ability to articulate sound technical decisions and deep understanding of distributed, event-driven, or batch-processing architectures, especially those powering

HPC , CFD

simulations, or multidisciplinary compute workloads. + Highly collaborative mindset with strong communication skills, especially when working with simulation engineers, aerodynamicists, data engineers, and HPC platform teams. What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications) + Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline- CFD or scientific computing experience is a strong plus. + Experience with VR frameworks (Unity, Unreal Engine) for simulation or CFD visualization. + Experience with distributed compute or streaming frameworks such as Akka, MQTT , Pulsar, Kafka, or Azure Event Hubs, especially for orchestrating compute pipelines. + Integration experience using

RPC , REST , GRPC

in high-throughput, latency-sensitive backend workflows. + Background with Azure or other cloud

HPC / PAAS / SAAS

platforms, particularly for distributed compute scaling, cluster workloads, or simulation hosting. + Team leadership or architecture experience in simulation platforms, high-performance compute systems, or large distributed backend infrastructures. + Knowledge of stateless or functional system design, especially beneficial for scalable pipeline processing. + Familiarity with efficient serialization formats (Avro, Protocol Buffers) for large scientific or simulation datasets. + Advanced knowledge of AI/ML, especially applied to surrogate modeling, simulation acceleration, or processing pipeline optimization. + Passion for Motorsports and fast-paced engineering environments where CFD and simulation pipelines accelerate performance development.
