About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Aerodynamics team at MBDA, where you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of expert engineers. If you are passionate about aerodynamics and eager to contribute to ground-breaking defence technologies, we invite you to apply.
Join our dynamic Aerodynamics team and work on cutting-edge defence programmes. As an Aerodynamics Engineer, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with experts in disciplines such as System Design, Propulsion, Mechanical Engineering, amongst others. Your work will span the entire project lifecycle, from concept development through to in-service and integration onto various platforms.
Working in this role will entail addressing a broad range of challenging applications, including free-flight aerodynamics, intake design, propulsion sub-system integration and integration of missiles onto various platforms (air, land, and sea). In performing these tasks, you will apply a suite of CFD tools and methods, alongside in-house performance analysis tools. Depending on the specifics of the project, you may also engage in wind tunnel testing and the assessment of flight trials.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with or lead teams to develop innovative aerodynamic concepts.
- Coach and mentor colleagues, contributing to a supportive team culture.
- Support the development of in-house analysis tools.
- Collaborate with external organisations, including the Ministry of Defence, other aerospace companies, and academia.
What We're Looking For
- A degree in Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience in aerodynamics, preferably within the defence sector.
