About Rahil Shaikh

I’m a Senior Engineer – CAE (CFD) working in the Passenger Vehicle (PV) domain, where I focus on solving complex aerodynamics and thermal management challenges using advanced simulation-driven approaches.My experience includes external & underhood aerodynamics, thermal simulations, and multiphase flow analysis, supporting vehicle performance, reliability, and efficiency across development stages. I work closely with design and cross-functional teams to translate CFD insights into robust, production-ready engineering solutions.I bring a strong command of CFD methodologies, meshing strategies, and result interpretation, ensuring simulations are not just accurate—but actionable. My approach is grounded in physics, driven by data, and aligned with real-world vehicle constraints.What motivates me most is applying CAE to build efficient, sustainable, and high-performance passenger vehicles, while continuously improving processes and learning new technologies. Open to collaboration, technical discussions, and knowledge sharing in CFD, CAE, and automotive PV engineering. Let’s connect and drive engineering impact together.
