For more than two decades, the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering has consistently ranked among the nation’s top 5 aerospace engineering programs, attracting aspiring engineers to pursue their academic journeys at the Atlanta campus. With an esteemed faculty of more than 40 tenured‑track professors and a thriving student body of over 2,000 individuals, the school is uniquely positioned to offer a comprehensive and hands‑on approach to research, scholarship, and education, spanning fixed‑wing aircraft, rotorcraft, and other space domains.

The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology invites applications for a Research Engineer II position. This role supports sponsored research in the modeling and simulation of turbulent reacting multiphase flows in propulsion and power systems. The successful candidate will conduct high‑fidelity computational research using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) to investigate complex turbulent reacting flows in aerospace propulsion applications, including gas turbines, scramjets, and liquid rocket systems.

Research activities are closely aligned with externally funded projects and include simulation development, model validation, data analysis, reporting, and dissemination of results. This is a full‑time research faculty appointment contingent upon sponsored funding.

• Conduct high‑fidelity LES and DNS simulations of geometrically complex turbulent reacting flows relevant to propulsion and power systems
• Develop, implement, and validate computational models and numerical methods within specialized research codes
• Optimize and execute simulation cases on advanced high‑performance computing platforms
• Process, analyze, and interpret large simulation datasets
• Support sponsored research deliverables, including milestone reporting and technical documentation
• Publish research findings in peer‑reviewed journals and present at technical conferences
• Contribute to proposal development and expansion of externally funded research programs
• Assist in mentoring graduate students and supporting broader research program activities

• A Master's…
