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 the production in terms of assessing the aerodynamic impact of non-conformities, repairs plus in-service incidents.

FCAS – Shaping the future European Air Power

FCAS has the potential to become a future key pillar to secure the sovereignty of Europe, strategically, technologically, and industrially! With Spain joining the Franco-German cooperation, the programme took an important step towards its Europeanization. As FCAS is much more than “just” a new Fighter, but an integrated & combined system-of-system including existing and future platforms and tools, the programme will integrate a wide range of the Airbus DS portfolio and competencies.

Become part of the presumably most important defence programme of the next decades.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Analysis of aerodynamic shapes by numerical, experimental and theoretical methods & tools for the development of highly agile low aspect ratio A/C

• 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

• Continuous improvement of the aerodynamic software tool chains by developing S/W scripts based on prescribed requirements

• Mathematical Modelling of the aerodynamic aircraft characteristics in the full flight envelope (aerodynamic dataset)

• Deliver aerodynamic solutions and data to the customer on time, on cost and on quality

• Cooperate with all disciplines relevant for physics of flight such as structures, loads, flight dynamics, mass, etc.

Desired skills and qualifications

• Completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics or equivalent

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in aerodynamic design and analysis

• 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

• 3D-CAD-systems for parametric shape design (e.g. CATIA V5)

• Mesh Generation, Linear and Non-Linear iterative solvers, Discretization methods for PDEs

• 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
