I'm working with an ambitious aerospace technology company developing a new generation of high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft — and we're looking for an Aeroelastician to join the engineering team in Teruel, Aragón.

This is an opportunity for an engineer with a minimum of 3–4+ years of experience with a solid foundation in aeroelasticity who now wants to work on a genuinely challenging aircraft platform.

You don't need to be a world authority.

What matters is that you have a strong technical grounding, enjoy solving difficult problems and are hungry to learn.

You'll work alongside experienced aerodynamics, structures and modelling specialists, with the opportunity to interact directly with internationally recognised experts in aeroelasticity who advise the programme.

The technical challenge The platforms being developed are exceptionally lightweight, flexible, high-aspect-ratio aircraft where aerodynamics, structures and flight dynamics are tightly coupled.

You'll be involved in:

Modelling and predicting nonlinear aeroelastic behaviour

Dynamic gust response and flutter analysis

Defining flutter boundaries for highly flexible wings

Informing structural sizing while minimising structural mass and power consumption

Integrating aeroelastic analysis into multidisciplinary design optimisation





Developing tools and models that enable rapid engineering iteration

You’ll work with methodologies such as SHARPy, NATASHA, ASWING, UVLM/GEBT and nonlinear FEM — or equivalent approaches.

Why this opportunity? We're particularly interested in someone who:

Has at least 3–4+ years of relevant experience in aeroelasticity, structural dynamics or closely related aerospace engineering

Has an advanced degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline

Has practical experience with aeroelastic modelling

Understands the underlying theory rather than simply operating a software package

Is comfortable working with Python and computational models

Is curious, analytical and keen to learn

Wants to work in a fast-moving engineering environment where they can have genuine influence

Experience with HALE, HAPS, UAVs or other highly adaptable aircraft would be valuable, but isn't essential.

Location The role is hands-on and based alongside the engineering, modelling and workshop teams. xkdbapo

The company and programme are confidential at this stage, but I can provide more information to suitably qualified candidates during a confidential conversation.
