About the Role

Have you ever dreamed of taking part in shaping the wing of an Airbus product?

Today, we are giving you the opportunity to make your dream true and join the Airbus Aerodynamics Team!

We are looking for brilliant, motivated, inspiring Aerodynamic Engineers to participate in the development of our future high performance wings and contribute to the sustainable future of aviation. This is a rare opportunity to be able to look to the sky and be proud of the wing you helped develop for many years to come.

The Aerodynamic team in Filton takes part in all stages of the design: R&T, preliminary design, detailed design, product improvement and inservice support. We continuously work to further improve our products and drive competitiveness.

We develop and validate aerodynamics solutions for all our products, past, present and future. This is achieved through computer modelling (CFD), as well as defining, attending and analysing wind tunnel and flight tests. We interrogate in-service aircraft data enabling an understanding of how airlines operate our aircraft. We leverage our vast amount of simulation and test data, using the latest data science techniques to speed up the aircraft design process.

Joining our team will give you the opportunity to be involved in a varied range of activities, ensuring there is always a new challenge to learn and master. Come and join us!

How you will contribute to the Team.

As an Aerodynamic Wing Designer

• Design aerodynamic external shapes according to Aircraft requirements
• Carry out design trades to inform overall aircraft design
• Carry out numerical optimization to reach the most performing solution
• Verify design by requesting wind tunnel test or flight test as appropriate and act as customer for the data
• Support in-service and industrial concessions aerodynamics queries
• Carry out research activities to improve our simulations capabilities

As a Data for Loads aerodynamic engineer

• Carry out CFD data campaign to create loads aerodynamic models
• Request and manage wind tunnel tests to improve accuracy of aerodynamic load models
• Follow flight tests to validate aerodynamic loads models
• Run unsteady aerodynamics CFD as necessary
• Create aero loads models
• Develop innovative processes to produce aero loads model

About you

• A passion for Aircraft with good experience in Aerodynamics
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) experience
• Design experience with CAD tools (CATIA and/or 3DExperience)
• Python programming skills
• A willingness to travel internationally

Desirable but not essential skills

• Experimental fluid dynamic experience (e.g. wind tunnel)
• Contributed to shaping major aerodynamic components
• Experience in loads or aeroelasticity
• Knowledge of of CADFIX, Solar, ANSA, Tau, CODA
• Understanding and experience of data science analytic techniques (especially neural networks & deep learning) and their application for data analysis, regression and classification
