Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer Aerodynamics to join our Engineering & Technology team. In this critical role, you will lead the aerodynamic design, analysis, validation, and integration of UAV platforms to ensure optimal performance, stability, and compliance. You will work at the forefront of unmanned aircraft development, directly influencing airframe shaping, flight characteristics, and multi-disciplinary system-level trade-offs that determine mission success and survivability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct aerodynamic analysis and modeling of airframes, control surfaces, and payload fairings
  • Develop aerodynamic databases for flight simulation, stability, and control system development
  • Optimize airframe geometry to enhance lift, drag, control authority, and efficiency
  • Translate aerodynamic requirements into system-level performance specifications and interface definitions
  • Lead trade studies on shaping, stability margins, and control effectiveness
  • Run CFD simulations and correlate data with wind tunnel and flight tests
  • Define and support validation campaigns including wind tunnel, ground, and flight tests
  • Generate aerodynamic documentation and contribute to airworthiness certification material
  • Ensure compliance with aerospace standards including CS-UAS, MIL-STD-1797, and internal protocols
  • Participate in technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
