Senior Aeronautical Engineer – Aircraft Design & Flight Dynamics

Mission

Lead the design and development of next-generation UAVs by providing senior expertise in aircraft design, flight dynamics, and stability. Drive clean-sheet aircraft development across the full product lifecycle—from concept and sizing through detailed design, flight testing, and certification readiness—while acting as a technical reference, shaping design decisions, solving complex engineering challenges, and mentoring the team through your experience and technical leadership.

Responsibilities

What will be your responsibilities: - End-to-End Aircraft Design: Play a pivotal role in the conceptual, preliminary, and detailed aerodynamic design of new UAV configurations, collaborating on architectural decisions and trade-offs. - Flight Dynamics Expertise: Provide senior-level technical insights for stability, control, and flight dynamics analysis, helping to ensure our airframes are inherently stable and controllable. - Simulation & Modeling: Guide the development, tuning, and validation of high-fidelity 6-DOF flight simulation models and support System Identification (SysID) flight test campaigns. - Cross-Functional Integration: Work closely with the Structures, Propulsion, and Avionics teams to resolve system-level design challenges and push the product toward a successful market release. - Mentorship: Act as a technical sounding board for the engineering team, helping to refine our methodologies and unlock new technical solutions.
