About this role

A vacancy for an Aerodynamics Engineer has arisen within Airbus Operations. The successful applicant will join the Aerodynamics 1GACS department. At Airbus Aerodynamics, we are at the heart of aircraft design, delivering suitable configuration for optimum performance and highest sustainability standards.

We support the full aircraft life from concept selection through core design, manufacture, flight testing, and in-service operations. This ensures the best operational and safe use of the aircraft while supporting customers. We are aeronautical engineers, developers, and innovators using cutting-edge digital technologies.

As an Aerodynamics Engineer, you will generate external shapes of components fulfilling mission requirements from early design to detail phases. This involves applying numerical tools and validating designs through wind-tunnel testing and flight tests. You will work as part of a highly collaborative and transnational team.

Deliver conclusions from aerodynamic design studies and improvements for new and existing airplanes. Contribute to defining future aerodynamic processes and technologies to keep Airbus at the forefront of innovation. Collaborate across disciplines to secure multi-disciplinary solutions meeting customer requirements on time, cost, and quality.

Requirements

Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering, with a specialisation in Aerodynamics
Experience in aerodynamic numerical simulations/Computational Fluid Dynamics, wind tunnel test or flight test
Knowledge of CAD (CatiaV5, 3DX or similar)
Knowledge of CFD (meshing, solver, numerical optimization, turbulence models, limitations, etc.)
Working knowledge of a programming language (preferably Python)
Familiarity with data science (machine learning and artificial intelligence) would be an advantage
Fluency in English is mandatory, Spanish is a plus

Responsibilities

Deliver aerodynamic shapes according to requirements and constraints
Deliver conclusions of aerodynamic design studies and potential aerodynamic improvements of new and existing airplanes
