About this role

A vacancy for an Aerodynamics Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence & Space in Getafe. The successful applicant will join Aerodynamics Department within Flight Physics Centre of Competence in ADS Engineering. Our team is responsible for the aerodynamic development of Airbus Defence & Space aircrafts.

Diverse activities include external shape aerodynamic design and optimization, computational fluid dynamics, generation of comprehensive aerodynamic models on performance, handling qualities and loads in steady and unsteady mode. These tasks involve experimental wind tunnel test campaigns. All carried out in a multidisciplinary environment of Flight Physics.

Collaboration occurs with specialists from other international partners involved and disciplines relevant for physics of flight, such as structures, loads, stability and control, mass properties. The role ensures optimized aerodynamic solutions and data delivered to customers on time, cost, quality. It supports programmes' overall design and systems integration needs throughout life cycles.

Opportunities include developing expertise in numerical and experimental aerodynamic prediction tools, acquiring aerodynamic technologies consistent with company strategy. Linking with external research community in aerodynamics and multi-disciplinary air vehicle design. Excellent upskilling opportunities and great development prospects are available.
