Corvid uses a variety of computational approaches to solve these problems using internally developed tools and methods.

US Citizenship and the ability to hold a US Security Clearance are preferred. Non US Citizens must demonstrate an exceptional background in research or applied aerodynamics beyond running commercial applications to be considered for a position.

Developer

Corvid Technologies would like to hire a qualified candidate to support development of in-house software designed to support applied programs in aerodynamics and structural mechanics. The applicant must be able to demonstrate advanced knowledge of software development in a parallel processing environment. Candidates must be familiar with parallel processing and algorithm optimization for parallel scalability and have a working knowledge of FORTRAN. Knowledge of C or other languages is a plus. In addition to software development skills, the candidate should have advanced knowledge of scientific computing in some relevant field such as Computational Fluid Dynamics or Computational Structural Dynamics. A background of developing and utilizing computational tools to solve complex scientific or engineering problems is a plus.

Corvid supports a wide variety of engineering problems for both the Motorsports and Defense communities. These programs are supported using tools and methods developed and maintained by in-house staff. The two primary tools are RavenCFD, a computational fluid dynamics solver, and Velodyne, a computational structural mechanics solver. These software tools are employed to solve a wide variety of problems that include areas such as race car performance, missile flight prediction, blast analysis and high velocity intercepts. Development areas are focused around the needs of Corvid’s customers and the specific needs of a program.

US Citizenship and the ability to hold a US Security Clearance are preferred but not required. Non US Citizens must demonstrate exceptional skills in both software development and knowledge of a specific field in science or engineering.
