Do you want to push boundaries at the heart of Airbus together with a team of great aerodynamic engineers? We want to pave the way into a more digital, sustainable and safer future. Come join us.

Our aerodynamics department is responsible for the aerodynamic design and characterization for all military aircraft programs along their product life cycle. We use numerical simulations, wind tunnel testing and flight test to understand the aerodynamic behavior and to create and deliver aircraft representative aerodynamic data and models for stability & control, performance, loads and aeroelastics as well as establishing envelopes for safe separation of external as well as internal stores and for plume ingestion. Besides, we give support to the production in terms of assessing the aerodynamics impact on non-conformities, repairs plus in-service incidents.

Your location

Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

• Working in a diverse environment, with more than 140 nationalities, where every voice is heard

Your tasks and responsibilities

Your Mission:

You will shape aerodynamic data models based on wind tunnel, flight test and numerical simulation data of high agility fighter aircraft and drive the development of future aerodynamic dataset modeling technologies.

Your main tasks:

As successfull candidate you will

• Analyze and assess the aerodynamic characteristics of high agility fighter aircraft

• Model and design aerodynamic datasets for stability & control, performance, and loads assessments

• Deep dive into flight test data and implement necessary dataset corrections

• Define, prepare, and support the conduction of wind tunnel and flight test campaigns and numerical simulations

• Drive the development of cutting-edge technologies for future aerodynamic dataset prediction, including data fusion and machine learning methods

Desired skills and qualifications

For our multinational team we are looking for candidates with the following qualities and skills:

• Educational Background: A Master’s degree or PhD in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.

• Technical Expertise: Proficient understanding of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, with a particular interest in fighter aircraft. Experience in flight test and wind tunnel data analysis is highly valued.

• Technical Skills: Strong programming abilities, along with familiarity with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data fusion algorithms.

• Analytical and Personal Attributes: Excellent analytical skills, reliability, assertiveness, and the ability to thrive under pressure. We value team players who are autonomous, independent, and goal-oriented, with the flexibility to adapt to new challenges.
