Aerodynamics Engineer

Job description

We're Hiring: **Aerodynamics Engineer** Full-Time | Core Team LAT Aerospace | Aircraft LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. We’re looking for an Aerodynamics Engineer to design and analyze aerodynamic surfaces across low-fidelity and high-fidelity tools, contribute to aircraft loads, performance, and stability databases, and help build the aero modeling pipeline that powers design decisions and flight simulation. **What you’ll do** - Design and iterate aerodynamic surfaces and OMLs using CAD. - Own the CFD workflow including geometry generation, meshing, solving, automation, and post-processing. - Develop and maintain aerodynamic databases for aircraft performance, loads, and stability. - Process computational and experimental data to develop surrogate models for aircraft design and flight dynamics. - Support aerodynamic analysis of high-lift, blown-wing, and propulsion–airframe interactions. - Develop and improve internal aerodynamic tools, scripts, and workflows. - Document analyses and maintain robust, version-controlled aerodynamic datasets. **What we're looking for** - 4+ years of professional experience in external steady and unsteady aerodynamics simulations - Strong fundamentals in aerodynamics, aircraft performance, and stability & control. - Software agnostic in low fidelity and high fidelity simulations - Strong Python/MATLAB skills for CFD automation, data processing, and engineering analysis. - Experience building and working with aerodynamic databases and large datasets. - Experience with high-lift, blown-wing, UAV, or other unconventional aircraft aerodynamics is highly preferred. **Why LAT?** - No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas. - Rapid hardware iteration culture. - Own the complete journey from engineering design to flight-ready hardware.
