Job Description:Job Description For External PostingWe are looking for a passionate Junior 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 general working language).
- Nice-to-Haves (What will make you stand out)
