This is an amazing opportunity to play a vital part in the development of a new aircraft with the potential to transform the aviation industry.
You will have the chance to join a talented and compelling team who are dedicated to revolutionising the way we fly.
The Role
As the Aerodynamics Engineer, you will work on aerodynamic surface and rotor design, analysis, integration and testing.
By combining your knowledge of fundamental aerodynamic principles with cutting edge modelling technologies, you will help our client rapidly innovate and iterate in their fast-paced design and build environment.
This will include:
- Performing aerodynamic calculations from simple hand calculations to detailed CFD analysis
- Interpreting aerodynamic data to quantify impacts on aircraft performance and flying characteristics
- Developing, verifying and validating CFD methods
- Showing compliance of designs to relevant aerospace standards
