Job Description:

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.

*RESPONSIBILITIES*

*Aerodynamic Design & Modeling:* 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. *Store & Cargo Integration:* Perform critical safe separation analyses for external stores and complex maneuvers. *Innovation & Tool Development:* 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.

*SKILLS*

Must-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; experience in civil aircraft aerodynamics will also be highly valuable.
