Job description

About the Role

The Aerodynamics Engineer is responsible for design and development of Mark-X airframe and its aerodynamic performance. The role involves conducting CFD simulations and potentially wind tunnel tests in the future, as well as collaborating with missile experts to optimize designs for enhanced performance, safety, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conducting aerodynamic analyses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to predict airflow behavior around designs.

  • Conducting feasibility studies to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of different design concepts and modifications for ATBM interceptors.

  • Collaborating within the missile design team to develop efficient and innovative aerodynamic shapes for missiles especially for the Radome and motor section.

  • Participating in technical interchange meetings to align aerodynamic concepts with overall missile performance goals and objectives.

  • Staying updated with the latest advancements in aerodynamics technologies and methodologies to enhance design processes.

  • Conduct detailed research and analysis to develop innovative design concepts for new ATBM missile models.

  • Create and review technical drawings and specifications, ensuring all designs meet industry standards and regulations.

  • Plan, conduct wind tunnel tests for verification of aerodynamic model /design.

  • Provide validated aerodynamic Parameter set for ETE 6-DOF Missile Simulation

  • Participate in testing and evaluation of prototypes to validate design performance.

  • Prepare technical documentation, including specifications, reports, and presentations for stakeholders and clients.

  • Stay updated with the latest advancements in missile technology and design methodologies to enhance project outcomes.

We Would Love You to Have

  • Master's degree in Physics, (Aerospace) Engineering, or related technical field

  • 5-10 years of Missile development programs and project management experience in international defense organizations

  • Strong hands-on technical background in the design and development of Ground to Air and/or Missile defense interceptor systems (10+ years)

  • Thorough knowledge of most advanced engineering methods, tools and procedures for Aerodynamic modelling & design

  • Has the ability to perform analyses to verify the integrity of the detailed thermal and flow systems solutions using appropriate tools, including but not limited to hand calculations, spreadsheets and other software

  • Collects and researches data skillfully; uses intuition and experience to complement data; ability to perform preliminary or final analyses

  • Must have excellent written and verbal skills with the ability to communicate with all levels of personnel within the organization and customers.

  • Holds or is eligible obtaining a NATO SECRET Clearance

Our Values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.

  • Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.
    We choose impact — we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now — when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum — when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions.

  • Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.
    We challenge the status quo — we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort — we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future — we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time.

  • Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.
    We walk the talk — what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly — we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes — we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
