Junior Aerodynamics Engineer

Descripción de puesto: Job Description For External Posting We 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. 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. Mastery in other Flight Physics disciplines (Performance, Loads, Flight Mechanics) is a major plus. - Languages: Advanced / C1 level in English (our global working language). - Core Competencies: Strong foundation in aerodynamics principles, fluid mechanics, and flight mechanics. Nice-to-Haves (What will make you stand out): - A PhD in Aerospace Engineering focused on Aerodynamics or Fluid Dynamics. - Proficiency with numerical aerodynamic prediction tools (CFD, high-performance meshing, solver execution). - Previous experience in aerodynamic shape design and optimization - Practical experience building aerodynamic databases combining experimental and CFD data. - Hands-on skills in Python, Matlab , or CAD tools (CATIA). - Previous exposure to wind tunnel testing or safe separation analysis . - Professional working knowledge of German or French. WHICH BENEFITS WILL YOU HAVE AS AIRBUS EMPLOYEE? At Airbus we are focused on our employees and their welfare. Take a look at some of our social benefits: - Vacation days plus additional days-off along the year. - Attractive salary. - Hybrid model of working when possible, promoting the work-life balance. - Collective transport service subject to working calendar/home location. - Benefits such as life insurance, health insurance, employee stock options, retirement plan, or study grants. - On-site facilities (among others): free canteen, kindergarten, medical office. - Possibility to collaborate in different social and corporate social responsibility initiatives. - Excellent upskilling opportunities and great development prospects in a multicultural environment. - Option to access special rates in products & benefits.
