Job Description: A position for a Low Observability (LO) Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space in Getafe (Madrid). The successful applicant will join the LO Engineering Spain Department.
In general terms, a LO Engineer in this Department is expected:
- To understand the foundations of Operational Analysis and Preliminary Design.
- To understand the influence of vehicle architecture on multi-spectral signature.
- To understand the overall product life cycle of military aircraft with respect to its influence on signature.
- To master the area of signature reduction.
- To master LO design and analysis (radar, IR and visual), being able to specify designs and architectures to meet LO requirements.
- To characterize and validate signature via simulations and measurements, defining the adequate simulation / test plans.
Responsibilities
- To perform advanced LO analysis and Radar Cross Section (RCS) predictions using electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools (both proprietary and commercial).
- Active participation in multidisciplinary designs.
- Propose design modifications (geometry, materials…) and drive designs to achieve LO requirements.
- To prepare complex CAD geometries to get accurate results from electromagnetic solvers.
- To post-process and interpret large volumes of simulation data, translating them into clear, actionable design recommendations for multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- To devise test plans and validate simulation results against measurement of real prototypes, quantifying both simulation and measurement limitations.
- To research in the field of stealth to have a solid understanding of the discipline (past, present and future) to drive the design activities.
Required Technical Skills
- Degree in Telecommunication Engineering, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Physics.
- Strong background in EM theory: e.g. scattering and radiation phenomena, EM properties of materials, wave propagation, ...
- User of c
