We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Aerodynamicist to join our core engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in the aerodynamic design and characterization of air inlets and outlets as well as some experience on complete aircraft and/or fuselage and tail (empennage) aerodynamics. You will play a critical role in the aerodynamic integration of the systems and APU of our aircraft, from initial concept to detailed design, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. This position requires deep expertise in CATIA and/or 3DX for surface modeling and extensive experience with CFD for both internal and external aerodynamic analysis.
Job Responsibility:
Contribute to the aerodynamic design and characterization of air inlets and outlets of air systems and APU
Develop high-quality surface geometry and 3D models using CATIA and/or 3DX, ensuring compliance with aerodynamic, structural, and manufacturing requirements
Perform comprehensive CFD simulations to analyze and validate both internal and external aerodynamic performance (drag, stability, control)
Analyze simulation results, prepare detailed technical reports, and present findings and recommendations to the stakeholders
Collaborate closely with other engineering disciplines, including Structures, Propulsion, and Systems, to achieve a fully integrated and optimized aircraft design
Support wind tunnel and flight testing activities, from test preparation and execution to post-processing and analysis of results
Contribute to the continuous improvement of our aerodynamic design methodologies, tools, and best practices
Requirements:
Master’s degree or PhD in Aerospace Engineering or a related field
Minimum of 4-5 years of professional experience in an aerodynamic design role within the aerospace industry
Demonstrated experience in the aerodynamic design and characterization of air inlets and outlets
Expert-level proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and surface shaping, specifically with CATIA and or 3DX
Extensive hands-on experience setting up, running, and analyzing CFD simulations for complex aerospace applications
Strong theoretical knowledge of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and aircraft stability & control
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment
Fluency in English is required
Nice to have:
Experience with CFD solver Ansys Fluent
Experience with meshing software such as ANSA and Fluent Meshing
Experience with aerodynamic optimization tools and methods (e.g., adjoint solvers, MDO)
Knowledge of aircraft certification requirements (e.g., EASA CS-25)
Programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for process automation and data analysis
What we offer:
Vacation days plus additional days-off along the year
Attractive salary
Hybrid model of working when possible, promoting the work-life balance
Collective transport service in some sites
Benefits such as health insurance, employee stock options, retirement plan, or study grants
On-site facilities (among others): free canteen, kindergarten, medical office
Possibility to collaborate in different social and corporate social responsibility initiatives
Excellent upskilling opportunities and great development prospects in a multicultural environment
