The Aerodynamicist will perform complex aerospace engineering functions in order to design and develop all hardware, controls, software, and power electronics in the Hyperloop transportation system and to integrate all of the hardware and software products with Hyperpod, Tube and Hyperloop Mission Control subsystems. Responsibilities include:

*Develop and test large variety of engineering systems involved in Hyperloop transportation system including the HyperPod vehicle, the Hyperloop tube, the vacuum pumps, the compressors, the bearings, the heat exchangers, the support pylons, the structural elements of the tube system, as well as all ancillary mechanical systems that involve thermos-fluid analysis.

*Design and analysis of key features of HyperPod vehicle aerodynamics utilizing ANSYS DesignXplorer, Red Cedar HEEDS Multidisciplinary Design Optimization, Stanford University's SU2 Adjoint Shape Optimization and other optimization software in conjunction with numerical simulation software including CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tools such as ANSYS.

*Assess HyperPod vehicle and all its subsystems (compressor, bearing, levitation track, vacuum pumps, braking system, etc.) for all operational conditions such as cruise, acceleration, and deceleration for various pod and tube configurations.

*Assess characterization of aerodynamic loads and environments of the HyperPod and Tube (lift, drag, heat transfer, power consumption and other relevant loads using a three-pronged complementary set of experimental, numerical, and methods.

*Experimental methods revolve around the use of Hyperloop Tech's purpose-built High-Mach Low-Reynolds wind tunnel (dubbed BladeRunner), and other experimental equipment such as our vacuum chamber levitation test rig, our Propulsion Open Air Test rig (POAT), and our DevLoop technology demonstrator prototype.

*Responsible for development of design constraints for the Tube and the HyperPod: integrate aero-thermal loads and design constraints using three-pronged analysis into the design of the Hyperloop system as a whole.

*Analytical tools require deriving correlations and closed from solutions for intricate mathematical partial differential equations governing fluid dynamics, rarefaction effects, heat transfer, etc.

*Collaborate with all other Hyperloop Tech teams (including Civil, Electromagnetics, Levitation, Control, Propulsion, Business, Finance, Legal, etc.) to produce an optimal design that will seamlessly integrate and respect the requirements of the Hyperloop system as a whole.

*Responsible for the validation of computational models against experimental data: gather experimental data from Hyperloop Tech's experimental test rigs and facilities utilizing a host of quantitative and qualitative methods including Schlieren imaging, load cell readings, pitot tube measurements, pressure tap readings, pressure sensitive paints, etc. to accurately validate, verify and calibrate our numerical simulation results.
