With our CycloRotors, we develop a new, sustainable, highly maneuverable, and environmentally accepted eVTOL propulsion solution for the 21st century. We re-invent flying and make individual air mobility as normal as driving a car - opening the sky for everyone.\n As a Senior Rotor Aerodynamics Engineer, you will play a key role in the aerodynamic design and in the development and optimization of CycloRotor propulsion systems. Your expertise will be required at all development stages, from conceptual design to testing and validation. You will work closely with aerodynamics, flight physics, mechanical, structural and testing engineers.\nResponsibilities:\nAerodynamic design and optimization of CycloRotor units, from conceptual design to testing and validation.\nValidation and correlation plans, mainly involving CFD simulations, but also on the experimental counterpart, in terms of measurement setup and quality or aeroelastic influences.\nSimulation methodology development.\nContribute to the definition and assessment of aerodynamic performance targets for various CycloRotor units.\nCollaborate with structural and mechanical engineers to optimize the structural-aerodynamic interface, including loads, aeroelastic deformations and the realization of mechanisms to fulfill the desired aerodynamic behavior of the CycloRotor.\nSupport the continued development of knowledge within the Flight Physics Department by applying your expertise to define processes, interfaces, and best practices for system performance, aerodynamic development, simulation, testing, and validation.\n Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering with strong focus in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics or related field.\n10+ years of professional experience working in areas related to aerodynamics design and development, either propulsion systems, airframe or vehicle aerodynamic design.\nStrong understanding of the challenges and interfaces involving aerodynamics design and optimization, including simulation, correlation and validation, interfaces with mechanical and structural requirements, especially in terms of system integration at a vehicle/platform level to optimize flight and mission performance.\nBasic knowledge of Python scripting and Linux environments.\nHands on experience in validation of CFD simulations and experimental results.\nExperience with OpenFOAM is desired.\nThe following will be considered as additional assets:Experience with aeroacoustics, especially for rotorcraft.\nExperience with aeroelastic analysis or fluid-structure interaction\nExperience with wind tunnel testing\nPrevious experience in aerodynamic design for aerospace certifiable propulsion systems.\n\nExcellent ability to explain complex topics in a clear and accessible manner.\nAnalytical and solution-oriented mindset.\n A structured and supportive onboarding program, providing the guidance, training, and resources needed for a successful start.\nOpportunities for professional development and career growth. \nInternational and collaborative working environment.\nSupportive team culture focused on continuous improvement and employee well-being.\nHome Office opportunity.\nWe provide competitive salary and benefits package according to your experience and expertise. \nLooking forward to your application!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3360,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
