Qualifications

To thrive in this role, you should possess deep expertise in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and multiphase modeling. Experience with particle-laden flows, fluidized beds, and coupled CFD-DEM will be crucial. Proficiency in at least one of the following software tools is required: Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or Fluent, along with familiarity with DEM codes like EDEM, LIGGGHTS, or Rocky. The ability to automate these tools for scalable optimization workflows is essential. Experience in parametric CAD modeling (NX or CATIA) and programming in Python is advantageous.3-5 years of hands-on experience in a commercial environment (following MEng, MSc, or PhD) is expected. You should be capable of independently setting up simulations, rigorously interpreting complex results, and making sound engineering decisions.

About PhysicsX

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company based in London, United Kingdom, with roots in numerical physics and Formula One. The team focuses on developing AI-driven simulation software to accelerate hardware innovation. By combining high-fidelity, multi-physics simulations with AI inference, PhysicsX helps engineers optimize and automate design, manufacturing, and operations. Clients include leaders in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive sectors.

Role Overview

The Senior Multiphase CFD Engineer will work closely with customers, often on-site, to deliver practical solutions for advanced engineering challenges. This role centers on building and validating high-fidelity simulation models that integrate with AI tools, supporting informed decision-making across a range of industries.

What You Will Do

  • Independently set up complex multi-physics models, including geometry clean-up, meshing, simulation, post-processing, and integrating experimental data for validation. Projects will span single-phase, multiphase, and coupled CFD-DEM regimes.
  • Develop and validate DEM models for granular and particle-laden systems, such as fluidized beds, pneumatic conveying, mills, aerosols, suspensions, and coating processes, using appropriate contact models, size distributions, and coupling strategies.
  • Create parametric CAD models linked to simulation pipeline automation, enabling advanced design optimization and Design of Experiments (DoE) studies across large parameter spaces.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and multiphase modeling, including experience with particle-laden flows, fluidized beds, and coupled CFD-DEM.
  • Proficiency in at least one major CFD software: Star-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or Fluent.
  • Experience with DEM codes such as EDEM, LIGGGHTS, or Rocky.
  • Ability to automate simulation workflows for scalable optimization.
  • Familiarity with parametric CAD modeling (NX or CATIA) is a plus.
  • Python programming skills, or the ability to quickly learn new programming languages.
  • 3-5 years of relevant industry experience (after MEng, MSc, or PhD) in a commercial setting.
  • Confidence to independently set up simulations, interpret complex results, and apply sound engineering judgment.
