# Aerodynamics Engineer

Reports to: Aircraft Configuration Lead Type: Full-Time The Role You carry the aerodynamic performance and stability picture through the hardest part of the flight envelope: the high-subsonic to transonic transition, where compressibility effects, shock formation, and wave drag start deciding what the vehicle can actually deliver in the field. You carry out the CFD work and build the aero databases that feed flight dynamics and FCS models, then you go find out if the model was right - on the ramp, in the test trailer, against real telemetry. When the data and the prediction disagree, you're the one who reconciles CFD, empirical, and wind tunnel models against flight test, and turns the gap into a design change for the next iteration, not a footnote in a report. You work the trade space with Structures, Propulsion, and GNC directly - aero doesn't get optimized in isolation. What You'll Do Run high-fidelity CFD across subsonic and transonic flight regimes to predict vehicle performance, stability, and control characteristics. Build and maintain linear and non-linear aero databases - lift, drag, pitching moment, control surface authority - that feed flight dynamics and FCS models. D
