Job Description

In order to support Air Power Engineering / Flight Physics, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Aerodynamic Design and Development Engineer (d/f/m)

Do you want to push boundaries at the heart of Airbus together with a team of great aerodynamic engineers in Aerodynamic Design? We want to pave the way into a more digital, sustainable and safer future. Come join us.

Aerodynamics is responsible for the aerodynamic design and characterization for all military aircraft programs along their product life cycle. We use numerical simulations, wind tunnel testing and flight test to understand the aerodynamic behavior and to create and deliver aircraft representative aerodynamic data and models for stability & control, performance, loads and aeroelastics. Besides, we give support to production in terms of assessing the aerodynamic impact of non-conformities, repairs plus in-service incidents.

We are seeking a highly skilled Aerodynamic Design and Development Engineer with a background in Aerodynamics, CFD, and Tools to join our team at Airbus. In this role, you will drive innovations in aerodynamic design and analysis.

Your location

Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

Our Benefits for You

• Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
• Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
• Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
• Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
• Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Analysis of aerodynamic shapes by numerical (CFD), experimental and theoretical methods & tools for the development of high and low aspect ratio A/C
• Setup, monitoring and evaluation of CFD simulations
• Deliver aerodynamic solutions and data to the customer on time, on cost and on quality
• Support the Mathematical Modelling of the aerodynamic aircraft characteristics in the full flight envelope
• Cooperate with all disciplines relevant for physics of flight such as structures, loads, flight dynamics, mass, etc.
• Preliminary and detailed design of aerodynamic aircraft shapes by conclusions from aerodynamic analysis for the development of high and low aspect ratio A/C in a multi-disciplinary environment; selection and presentation of the best design solutions
• Support the preparation, execution and results analysis of wind tunnel experiments
• Contribute to the Continuous improvement of the aerodynamic software tool chains by suggesting and developing improvements.

Desired skills and qualifications

• Higher education in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics or equivalent
• Excellent knowledge in fluid dynamics (aerodynamics, gas dynamics, thermodynamics)
• Background within the field of numerical simulation, preferably computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Knowledge in aircraft design, flight mechanics and aircraft engine properties

Experience and interest in one or more of the following fields is stipulated:

• Application of the complete tool chain for high fidelity CFD simulations
• Turbulent flows and turbulence modelling
• Mesh generation
• 3D-CAD-systems for parametric shape design (e.g. CATIA V5)
• Programming with at least one common programming language (e.g. Python, C, C++)
• Knowledge about the capabilities and limits of numerical and experimental aerodynamic methods & tools

The following way of working and social behavior is appreciated:

• Autonomous, independent, target-oriented and flexible way of working
• Ability to continuously improve the own engineering skills and expertise
• Ability to integrate into a dynamic team of aerodynamic specialists
• Ability to concisely summarize and present complex aerodynamic findings and correlations
• Ability to prioritize technical solutions in order to balance with economic constraints
• Minimum language skills: negotiation level in English; good German skills are advantageous

Please provide your full application documents including the educational transcripts of records.
