Details: The Aerodynamic Engineer will be part of the Golf Ball Research and Development team working on cutting edge technology with state-of-the-art equipment. This position will be responsible for developing innovative surface geometries to improve golf ball aerodynamic performance. This includes leading engineering activities focused on the design of new surface patterns, the fabrication of prototypes, and the analysis of results. A strong understanding of fluid dynamics is essential in this role. Equally critical is a solid mechanical background to be able to develop and maintain state-of-the-art prototyping & testing processes associated with Callaway’s aerodynamic research.ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Plan and lead the execution of studies to characterize, and optimize key parameters influencing aerodynamic performance. Provide direction to CAD designers on the design of new golf ball surface geometries based on the statistical analysis of results. Research and stay abreast of new technologies and developments pertaining to fluid dynamics, simulation software, etc. both within and outside the golf industry. Identify and evaluate new materials, methods, and/or tools in order to improve current processes and/or equipment. Coordinate capital projects focused on fundamental understanding research, tooling process development, and testing development as they pertain to golf ball aerodynamics. Provide technical input and guidance in the selection of equipment vendors and visit potential vendors as required. Provide technical direction to R&D Technicians in the process of fabricating prototypes Work with Manufacturing and Quality Engineering to scale-up new aero designs in production and to ensure that they meet the design intent. Be the point-of-contact with Universities or research institutions in joint development projects pertaining to fundamental aerodynamic research. Proactively develop an understanding of the production process in order to identify key process parameters related to product performance. Act as a resource in the support of aerodynamic club design. Develop new ideas for invention disclosure and possible patenting. Provide project timelines, status, and technical summary reports to management as required.
