SECURITY CLEARANCE: You will be subject to BPSS and Export Control checks (including a criminal record check),
Our world is changing. And so are we. From our commitment to zero‑carbon flight (#ZEROe) to cleaning up space, sustainability is at the heart of our purpose. So what's your next change? The Capabilities Aerodynamics Computations team in Filton offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of Flight Physics, where you will support the delivery of world‑class computational simulation services. As a CFD Engineer/Developer, you will be part of a department committed to technical excellence and continuous innovation, specifically focusing on critical disciplines such as multi‑phase flows, convective heat transfer, and icing. This role places you at the heart of a team that provides the essential tools used to define the future of aerodynamic modeling within Airbus Civil Aircraft. In this position, you will leverage high‑performance computing (HPC) hardware to drive a simulation‑based engineering design process that is fundamentally changing how aircraft are built. Your work will directly address the evolving landscape of environmental regulations by integrating complex multi‑physics processes, including particle impact and conjugate heat transfer. By deepening the understanding of aircraft behavior in inclement weather, you will play a vital role in designing the systems that protect aircraft and ensure the safety of flight operations worldwide.
