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.SKILLSMust-Haves:Education: 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. Languages: Advanced / C1 level in English (our integral working language).A PhD in Aerospace Engineering focused on Aerodynamics or Fluid Dynamics.Profici
