Senior Aerodynamics Engineer

Job Description:

We are looking for apassionate Senior Aerodynamics Engineerto join our elite Flight Physics team atAirbus Defence & Space in Getafe. In this role you wont just analyze airflowsyou will directly influence the external aerodynamic design flight performance and safe operation of next-generation aircraft in a highly collaborative international environment.

From complex CFD modeling and high-speed wind tunnel testing to safe separation analysis you will work at the crossroads of cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary engineering.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Aerodynamic Design & Modeling:Shape external air vehicle geometries and build comprehensive aerodynamic databases (steady & unsteady loads performance stability and handling qualities).

• Experimental & Numerical Testing:Drive CFD simulation campaigns and participate directly in experimental wind tunnel testing.

• Store & Cargo Integration:Perform critical safe separation analyses for external stores and complex maneuvers.

• Innovation & Tool Development:Develop optimize and maintain state-of-the-art aerodynamic methods scripts (Python/Matlab) and technological roadmaps aligning with Airbus strategy.
