Aerodynamics Engineer

Overview

Published : Nov 08, 2024 - The Aerodynamics Engineer focuses on advancing complex Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods tailored for aircraft analysis, covering dynamics, hysteresis, and engine modeling, as well as ground effect and malfunction scenarios. This role involves streamlining the integration and evaluation of the Thermal Management and Aircraft Data Systems across test and production models, enhancing both safety and performance. In addition, the engineer develops semi-empirical methods to estimate excrescence drag and refine aircraft specifications related to gaps, sealing, and tolerances while establishing standardized processes for conformity inspection.
