We are looking for a passionate Senior Aerodynamics Engineer to join our elite Flight Physics team at Airbus Defence & Space in Getafe. In this role, you won't just analyze airflows—you will directly influence the external aerodynamic design, flight performance, and safe operation of next-generation aircraft in a highly collaborative, international environment. From complex CFD modeling and high-speed wind tunnel testing to safe separation analysis, you will work at the crossroads of cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary engineering. Shape external air vehicle geometries and build comprehensive aerodynamic databases (steady & unsteady loads, performance, stability, and handling qualities).
Experimental & Numerical Testing: Drive CFD simulation campaigns and participate directly in experimental wind tunnel testing.
Perform critical safe separation analyses for external stores and complex maneuvers.
Develop, optimize, and maintain state-of-the‑art aerodynamic methods, scripts (Python/Matlab), and technological roadmaps aligning with Airbus strategy.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with international experts across Flight Physics, Structures, Flight Control, Loads, and Mass Properties, as well as leading external aerospace research communities.
Delivery Excellence: Ensure high-impact aerodynamic solutions meet time, cost, and quality standards (TCQ) across the entire aircraft lifecycle.
Master’s Degree in Aerospace / Aeronautical Engineering (or equivalent).
Experience: We are looking for an Aerodynamics pro with 5+ years of hands‑on military transport or combat aircraft aerodynamics experience across shape design and characterization, CFD, wind tunnel testing, or safe separation; Mastery in other Flight Physics disciplines (Performance, Loads, Flight Mechanics) is a major plus.
Advanced / C1 level in English (our integral working language).
A PhD in Aerospace Engineering focused on Aerodynamics or Fluid Dynamics. Proficiency with numerical aerodyna
