Position Overview:
As part of the international R&D team dedicated to Simcenter Ultrafluid (formerly Altair ultraFluidX), you will play an active role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our simulation software.
Simcenter Ultrafluid is a GPU-based CFD solver employing the Lattice Boltzmann method, designed for high-fidelity aeroacoustics, unsteady aerodynamics, and aerothermal simulations. The team works in an agile fashion across multiple countries (Germany, France, Sweden, and the USA).

Responsibilities:
Your main responsibilities consist of working specifically on the tools and processes that ensure the scientific quality of our solver. They are organized around the following points:

* Design and maintain validation test cases based on academic literature and reference benchmarks, comparing solver results against analytical solutions and published data (experimental or reference calculations);
* Contribute to the development and maintenance of our Python-based test framework, helping to automate and scale our validation CI/CD pipeline;
* Collaborate closely with solver developers to investigate discrepancies, document findings, and drive continuous improvement of our validation processes. You will work in close collaboration with your experienced colleagues in a caring and flexible work environment.

This 12-month apprenticeship position is based in Lyon and available from September 2026.
