About this role

A vacancy for a junior Aerodynamics Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence & Space. The successful applicant will join the team responsible for the aerodynamic development and optimisation of Airbus Defence & Space aircraft. Participate in activities like external shape aerodynamic design, generation of aerodynamic models and data on performance, handling qualities and loads.

Tasks include safe separation analysis and participation in experimental wind tunnel test campaigns. All carried out in the multidisciplinary environment of Flight Physics. Collaborate with specialists of other international partners involved.

Design air vehicle external shapes and provide comprehensive aerodynamic models on performance, handling qualities and loads in steady and unsteady mode. Ensure optimised aerodynamic solutions and data are delivered to customers on time, cost, quality. Contribute to vehicle projects aerodynamic and flight performance requirements within prescribed objectives.

Develop expertise in numerical and experimental aerodynamic prediction tools. Acquire and develop aerodynamic technologies consistent with company strategy. Link with external research community in aerodynamics and multi-disciplinary air vehicle design, and with disciplines like structures, loads, stability and control.
