As a senior aerodynamics engineer, you will lead the aerodynamic design and development of new missile systems across the product lifecycle. You will be responsible for evaluating concepts, detailed aerodynamic design and supporting wind tunnel, flight trails and the development of internal design tools.
Responsibilities
* Rapid evaluation and iteration of missile aerodynamic concepts using semi-empirical tools with consideration of implications of different configurations on propulsion, mechanical and GNC requirements, etc.
* Responsible for CFD pipeline and carrying out refining the aerodynamic design to achieve drag/manufacturability requirements, etc.
* Maintenance of aerodynamic models to support GNC and Aerostructures
* Defining wind tunnel test program requirements and supporting the running of these and flight tests, including post-processing of data
Requirements
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering or related subject
* Strong foundation of missile aerodynamics and theory across subsonic, transonic and supersonic regimes
* Demonstrable experience with CFD, including preparation, running and post-processing results
* Supporting wind tunnel and/or flight trial testing
Preferred Qualifications/Experience
* Experience in fast-paced R&D or startup environments, with rapid prototype iteration times
What We Offer
* Competitive compensation and stock options
* Private Medical & Dental
* Cycle to work scheme
About Us
The mission of Cambridge Aerospace is to eliminate the risk of existential war in Europe. That risk comes from the air – low-cost drones and cruise missiles now manufactured in colossal volumes by our adversaries, ballistic missiles capable of ending the world as we know it, and a new generation of hypersonic weapons that evade every existing defence.
We’re building low-cost interceptors that defeat these threats, and the surveillance systems to detect and target them – at a cost taxpayers can afford, at the pace the threat demands, and with sovereign supply chains that assure delivery.
We have immense backing from the world’s best venture funds. We’re one of the fastest growing defence technology companies in history. And we’re hiring the best engineers to prosecute the mission.
If you are in the top 1%, willing to work harder than you ever have, build technology better than anyone else, and contribute to the defining challenge of our time, now is the time to join us.
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
