We are looking for an Aerodynamics Engineer to join our growing flight physics team. You will contribute to the aerodynamic design of our hybrid-electric eVTOL aircraft - including the wing, high-lift devices, fuselage, lifting arms and landing gear - with a strong focus on propeller aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design, optimization, and propeller-airframe interaction effects.

Working close to the hardware is part of the job: you run CFD studies in Ansys Fluent for design and validation, and plan wind tunnel campaigns spanning scaled aircraft models for fixed-wing aerodynamics to a small-scale propeller rig for interaction effects, while supporting our full-scale propeller test stand from an aerodynamics perspective.

• Contribute to the aerodynamic design of the wing, high-lift devices, fuselage, lifting arms and landing gear of our eVTOL aircraft
• Design and optimize propeller aerodynamics and aeroacoustics
• Analyze propeller-airframeinteractioneffects
• Perform design analysis with our in-house low-fidelity tools
• Run CFD simulations in Ansys Fluent to support design and validation
• Build and maintain CAD models of aerodynamic surfaces in Siemens NX
• Plan and conduct wind tunnel campaigns, from scaled aircraft models for fixed-wing aerodynamics to a small-scale propeller rig for interaction effects
• Support the full-scale propeller test stand from an aerodynamics perspective, for propeller optimization and validation

• Hold an academic degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical course of study
• Hold foundational knowledge of aircraft and propeller aerodynamics
• Have hands-on experience with CFD, ideally Ansys Fluent
• Have strong Python programming skills
• Have a high level of target-oriented self-management with the ability to work in a team as well as autonomously
• Have excellent problem solving, communication and technical writing skills
• Have fluent English language skills

• Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
• A 60+ engineerteam at Ottobrunn
• Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
• Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
• Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
• Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
