Our Offer

Capgemini Engineering are looking to recruit a Senior CFD Engineer with particular focus on simulating airflow around aircraft designs and engines to optimize performance, handling, and safety.

Your Profile

As a CFD Engineer you will be involved in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to analyse aerodynamic behaviour, generate aerodynamic models, and provide data for various stages of aircraft as well as engine development. Key skills include expertise in CFD software, meshing, data analysis, and a strong understanding of aerodynamics and flight dynamics.

  • A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with a specialization in aerodynamics.
  • Proficiency in CFD software, meshing techniques, and turbulence modelling.
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamic principles, flight mechanics, and aircraft performance.
  • Ability to analyse, interpret, and present CFD results effectively.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
