Job Description:

In order to support our engineering team, Airbus Defence and Space is looking for a

Aeroelastics Engineer (d/f/m)

Who we are

We are a diverse team of 18 engineers in Bremen, bound by a shared passion for aeroelastics. Our work sits at the very heart of aircraft design, making every trade-off count. We are ambitious in what we achieve together, but we firmly believe high-impact engineering goes hand-in-hand with a healthy work-life balance, mutual support, and the unique backgrounds every teammate brings to the table.

What is our mission

We deliver flutter stability analyses while accounting for flight control laws across development and certification (EASA/FAA requirements) for both nominal and system failure cases. Furthermore, we provide dynamic master models and unsteady aerodynamics models for dynamic analyses across all Airbus aircraft types within our international organization.

Your location

Bremen is a charming city full of history in the northwest of Germany. In addition to being one of the country’s greenest cities, it offers wonderful sights, a rich culture, urban flair and culinary delights. It’s also a great place for seaside lovers, being located just an hour’s drive from the North Sea coast.

Our Benefits for You

• Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
• Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
• Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
• Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
• Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.
  

Your tasks and responsibilities

As part of our aeroelastics team, your main activities will include:

• Assembling structural, mass, unsteady aerodynamic, and flight control system models to generate comprehensive flutter models.
• Ensuring the physically accurate modeling of dynamic aircraft systems, focusing on the linearization of flight control laws and associated actuators.
• Supporting flight vibration tests, evaluating test data, and validating or updating theoretical models against real flight data.
• Performing modal analysis, vibration, and aeroelastic stability calculations to support aircraft design, optimization, and certification.
• Developing innovative technologies and analysis methods related to active flutter control and dynamic loads alleviation.
• Continuous process improvement: reviewing and enhancing calculations, tools, interfaces, and methods to stay at the cutting edge.
  

Desired skills and qualifications

• Solid engineering foundation: A degree (or equivalent practical background) in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Core physics knowledge: A good understanding of aeroelastics, coupled with an interest in flight control laws or dynamic systems.
• Collaborative mindset: Strong communication skills in English to work smoothly across our international Airbus network. (German skills are a nice bonus, but we are happy to support you in learning!).
• Problem-solving curiosity: An analytical mindset, comfortable breaking down complex multi-physics challenges into practical engineering solutions.

Bonus points (Great to have, but not mandatory):

• Familiarity with flutter control concepts, systems engineering, or flight testing.

• Practical scripting/coding experience (e.g., Python, MATLAB, or similar).
• Organizational experience in project coordination or supplier interfaces.
