ABOUT THE ROLE
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.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- 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
WHAT YOU BRING
- 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
WHAT WEC OFFER
- 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
