Aerodynamic Design & Analysis Engineer; d​/f​/m

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  this role, you will drive innovations in aerodynamic design and analysis.

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.
