Aerodynamics Engineer - International Mobility Opportunity (Getafe / Manching)

Job Description:

An opportunity for an Aerodynamics Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space, Getafe (Madrid).

The selected candidate will join the Aerodynamics Team in Getafe and start with an 18 to 24-month secondment in the EF2000 Flight Joint Team in Manching (Germany) to contribute to the EF2000 development. Following this secondment, the jobholder will return to Getafe to continue supporting the EF2000 program and other Airbus Defence & Space aircraft.

Working within a multidisciplinary Flight Physics environment alongside international partners, the candidate will participate in external shape design, complex aerodynamic modeling (performance, handling qualities, and loads in steady/unsteady modes), and experimental wind tunnel testing.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The main tasks of the jobholder will be:

• Design air vehicle external shapes and deliver comprehensive aerodynamic models, performance data, handling qualities, and loads in steady/unsteady modes on time, cost, and quality (TCQ).
• Develop and maintain specialized technologies , methods, and numerical/experimental aerodynamic prediction tools to meet program specifications throughout the aircraft lifecycle.
• Contribute to achieving vehicle project aerodynamics and flight performance requirements across design and major component/system integration phases.
• Acquire and advance innovative aerodynamic technologies consistent with overall company strategy.
• Establish technical linkages with external research communities in aerodynamics and multidisciplinary air vehicle design/optimization.
• Collaborate directly with related flight physics disciplines
