Senior Aerodynamics Engineer

<h3>About Us</h3> <p>STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.<br/>We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems—not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe—today.<br/><br/></p> <h3>Your mission</h3> <p>Take ownership of aerodynamic analysis and development activities for our advanced flight systems through virtual simulations, real-world testing, and aerodynamic modeling to support our flight dynamics team.</p> <h3>Responsibilities</h3> <ul><li><p>Perform CFD and lower-fidelity aerodynamic simulations.</p></li><li><p>Analyze and assess aerodynamic concepts across various design stages.</p></li><li><p>Develop, model, and validate aerodynamic characteristics for flight dynamics.</p></li><li><p>Define, develop, and assess aerodynamic analysis methodologies.</p></li><li><p>Plan and execute wind tunnel test campaigns.</p></li><li><p>Conduct system identification and model verification using flight test data.</p></li><li><p>Collaborate closely with program engineering and other aerodynamic engineers on specific development tasks.</p></li></ul> <h3>Qualifications</h3> <ul><li><p>Bachelor´s or Masters degree in aerospace engineering, or similar relevant areas of expertise</p></li><li><p>+6 years of experience working in similar positions.</p></li><li><p>Proven experience with CFD and low-fidelity aerodynamic methods.</p></li><li><p>Solid understanding of fluid dynamics and aerodynamic principles.</p></li><li><p>Strong analytical and reporting skills for aerodynamic studies.</p></li><li><p>Hands-on experience with wind tunnel testing.</p></li><li><p>Previous experience as a Flight Dynamics Engineer or in a similar role.</p></li><li><p>Track record of contributing to projects that reached the testing or production stage.</p></li><li><p>Excellent communication skills in English.
