A senior CFD lead, embedded with your team. Without the headcount.
Some projects need senior CFD judgement for a season, not forever. Hiring a full-time engineer for that workload rarely makes sense. Outsourcing the project doesn't fit either, because you need to keep your data, your IP, and your know-how inside the building. We work the third way: a senior CFD lead joins your team remotely, full-time, runs the work on your own systems, and steps off when the engagement is done.
Three reasons our customers stop trying to fill this role with a permanent hire.
These come up in almost every kickoff call. If they sound familiar, the model on this page was built for the situation you're in.
The work is project-shaped, not role-shaped
Your CFD load runs hot for a quarter or two, then cools off. A full-time hire either sits underused once the work tapers, or you build a bigger CFD function than you actually need. Neither outcome is good for the budget, and neither is good for the engineer who came expecting steady work to do.
Your data and your IP need to stay inside
Outsourcing means cases, meshes, and results moving onto someone else's infrastructure. For most industrial buyers that's a non-starter, whether the reason is contractual confidentiality, export control, or risk discipline. The default embedded model runs on your hardware with your licenses. If you don't have ANSYS or HPC, we can run on ours instead.
You need senior judgement, not extra hands
Junior contractors can run cases. They can't tell you when the model is wrong, when the boundary conditions are misleading, or when the validation needs to be redone. The cost of a bad CFD call is paid by your product team months later, usually as wasted prototype runs and missed dates. That's the call we get hired to make.
What the engagement looks like, week by week
These are the rhythms most engagements settle into. Scope, dates, and review cadence are agreed in the kickoff and adjusted as the work moves. The duration below is typical, not fixed.
A typical engagement runs about ninety days because that's the shape most projects settle into. Shorter and longer engagements are negotiated in kickoff.
The bench behind a single embedded engineer
You hire one person on the engagement. The judgement on every difficult call is backed by the wider MR CFD team and the projects we've already shipped.
What you have on the day we step off
Technical reports
Mesh independence study, boundary conditions, validation against benchmarks where available, CFD results with figures.
Simulation files
Case files, mesh files, scripts, post-processing setups. Everything stays inside your organisation.
Training material
Structured access to MR CFD's training catalogue for the duration of the engagement, at no extra cost. Live walkthroughs happen during weekly reviews.
Handover documentation
Operating notes, known limitations, and recommended next steps so your team can keep moving once the embedded lead steps off.
Certificates and letters
On request: project completion certificates, technical approvals, and recommendation letters for your stakeholders or auditors.
Post-engagement support
Up to twelve months of technical support after handover. Questions during a regulator review or a downstream design change come back to us at no additional fee within that window.
Start the kickoff conversation
Tell us what you're working on. We respond inside an hour during business days, sign an NDA before any detail moves, and never bill for the kickoff conversation.
Contracted through whichever entity fits your procurement:

United Kingdom

WhatsApp gives the fastest reply. We treat the line the same way as the form: NDA before any technical detail, and your message reaches the engagement team only.
The questions that decide whether this is the right fit
By default, all work runs on your systems with your licenses, every case file, mesh, and result stays inside your organisation when we step off, and your team is in the loop on every meaningful decision. If you would rather we run on our own hardware and licenses, we can do that too - same engagement model, same NDA discipline, same handover. The senior lead is on your standups either way, not in a black box on the other end of an email thread.
Ninety days is the typical shape because most projects fit there. We can shorten or extend the window in the kickoff conversation. The duration is a planning rhythm, not a billing trick.
Yes, before any technical detail is shared. NDA-first is non-negotiable on our side as well.
A senior CFD lead, full-time on your engagement, named in the contract. They are backed by the wider MR CFD team for reviews and second opinions, but you have one person on the standups, not a rotating pool of contractors.
The full ANSYS pipeline: SpaceClaim or Design Modeler for geometry and modelling, ANSYS Meshing or Fluent Meshing for the mesh, and ANSYS Fluent for solving. Post-processing happens in CFD-Post, Tecplot, or whatever your engineers already use. If your stack stops at the solver, we cover the rest end-to-end.
Structured access to MR CFD's training catalogue runs through the engagement window at no extra cost. Live walkthroughs happen during weekly reviews. Your team learns on real cases instead of toy problems.
Wherever fits your procurement and compliance. Many industrial buyers route through the US registered company. Others use the UK or Oman entity. We adapt to your buying process rather than the other way around.
Up to twelve months of post-engagement technical support, plus certificates, technical approvals, and recommendation letters on request. Questions raised by a regulator review or a design change later in the year come back to us inside that window at no extra fee.
Then we run on our infrastructure with our licenses. The engagement is the same in every other way: a senior CFD lead named in the contract, weekly progress reviews with your team, NDA before any detail moves, and a full handover with documented results at the end. Many industrial buyers prefer this route because they skip the procurement timeline for licenses and an HPC stand-up. The choice between running on your systems or ours is decided in the kickoff conversation, not assumed.
