Our world is changing. And so are we. From our commitment to zero-carbon flight) to cleaning up space sustainability is at the heart of our purpose. So whats your next change

We have an exciting opportunity where you can be part of defining the next generation of aircraft!

In Aircraft Aerodynamics we master the complex aerodynamics of our aircraft to understand how they perform across the entire envelope of their missions. Through the generation and analysis of aerodynamic data our work has a direct impact on aircraft operations safety and fuel burn meaning we play a pivotal role in securing the sustainable aviation of the future.

We are looking for a highly motivated Aerodynamic Performance Engineer to join our team as we grow to prepare for the next generation of Airbus aircraft!

With primary stakeholders in Future Projects and R&D departments and across the full range of our programmes you will be contributing directly to the development of our future aircraft.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

• State of the art computer modelling and simulation of aerodynamic behaviour

• Defining attending and analysing results of wind tunnel tests at world leading facilities across the globe

• Defining attending and analysing results of flight tests including steering flight test decisions in real-time based on live telemetry data

• Combining results from numerical simulation wind tunnel testing and flight test data to develop aerodynamic performance models that represent our aircraft

• Securing the design intent of our future aircraft through developing robust modelling of aerodynamic performance of new technologies and configurations

ABOUT YOU

• Knowledge of aerodynamics including the factors that influence the generation of aircraft lift and drag

• The ability to communicate complex messages simply and adapt those messages to your audience

• The ability to lead other team members technically or subcontractors operationally on a given project in an international environment

• Experience in Python coding (or similar) for data analysis

Additionally any of the below would be of benefit for this role:

• Knowledge or experience of aircraft flight operations and performance for example the factors that influence take off and landing performance aerodynamic safety limitations and the flight phases of a commercial aircraft.

• Knowledge of CS-25 or FAR25 certification standards

• A solid understanding or practical experience of modelling the aerodynamics of 2D or 3D geometries in CFD including the suitability and effect of different mesh types and turbulence models the appropriate use of time-averaged modelling convergence criteria and interpreting results

• A solid understanding or practical experience of planning supporting and analysing wind tunnel tests and/or flight tests including the measurement techniques practical limitations and common aerodynamic considerations and corrections

Aerodynamics has a wide and varied exposure to the full Airbus Commercial product range with many opportunities to get hands-on testing and aircraft experience. This is an exciting time to be part of Airbus as we fly towards the next generation of sustainable aviation.

Come and join us pioneering sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world!

Not a 100% match No worries! Airbus supports your personal growth with customised development solutions.
