Job Description:

Skydio’s mechanical systems are the backbone of reliable autonomous flight. An intelligent flying machine depends on world-class engineering and an eye for detail while optimizing for simplicity; you will help architect, develop, and refine the aerodynamic design, solutions, and performance that deliver high performance autonomous flight to keep our fleets flying and our customers confident.

Job Responsibility:

  • Play a key role in the design of Skydio aircraft by performing aerodynamic analysis and simulation and designing/executing experiments, and doing concept and detailed design of systems and components with key aerodynamic considerations
  • Build and analyze aerodynamic models to determine flight envelopes and predict vehicle dynamics
  • Design/run experiments, review flight test logs, and examine data to validate simulations and refine the aerodynamic models and performance of our aircrafts
  • Collaborate closely with cross functional teams (structures, controls, hardware engineering) to guide design and integration decisions
  • Partner with the Flight Test Team in the development of test plans and post-flight data analysis
  • Collaborate with thermal engineers to design and refine integrated thermal solutions for vehicle systems
  • Execute low/mid/high-fidelity CFD analyses to assess aerodynamic and mechanical design characteristics and predict aircraft performance and stability
  • Have ownership over the aerodynamic design of our aircrafts and key accessories from the ground-up
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical and propulsion engineers to shape and integrate optimizations into new and existing architecture

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of prior product development experience with a proven track record of execution, enthusiasm, and collaboration
  • Experience using reduced order aircraft performance and control modeling such as vortex lattice or lifting line methods (e.g. AVL, VSPAERO) to quickly iterate on conceptual designs
  • Experience performing end-to-end CFD analyses using Navier–Stokes–based solvers (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, Cart3D, Chimera, FUN3D, or OVERFLOW), including mesh generation, solver setup, and post-processing with visualization tools
  • Skilled in data visualization and analysis of CFD, wind tunnel, and/or flight test data using Python, Tecplot, ParaView, or similar tools to effectively communicate aerodynamic performance and key design insights
  • Proficiency with aerodynamic modeling tools, such as panel methods, vortex lattice, lifting line, or particle-based approaches, for aerodynamic analysis and conceptual design
  • Hands-on experience with wind tunnel testing, including model design, test planning and execution, instrumentation setup, data acquisition, reduction, and analysis of discrepancies
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in aerospace or mechanical engineering or equivalent with demonstrated academic excellence
  • Ability to apply analytical problem solving skills and engineering fundamentals to create high-quality designs for a sophisticated vehicle system
  • A strategic mind across the full design, source, build, validate, and ship process. Proven ability to make considered decisions at various stages
What we offer:
  • Equity in the form of stock options
  • Comprehensive benefits packages
  • Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles
  • Group health insurance plans
  • Paid vacation time
  • Sick leave
  • Holiday pay
  • 401K savings plan
