Your Role and Your Team:
The novel design of the Lilium Jet brings up unique challenges for our Aerodynamics Engineers. The Aerodynamics Engineer’s job is to understand the underlying physics to design and characterize the aircraft throughout the flight envelope. We are looking for an outstanding Aerodynamics Engineer to develop, test and assist in the certification of the Lilium Jet.
You will report to the Engineering Manager for Aerodynamics, deployed into the Flight Mechanics project from the larger Flight and Applied Sciences department. Your day-to-day will see you interacting across the teams, such as Loads and Modelling and Simulation to ensure a consistent understanding of the Lilium Jet aerodynamic behaviour.
The Flight and Applied Science team uses a mixture of low and high-fidelity calculation, together with optimization methods and physical testing to ensure our aircraft and systems achieve our performance targets. We use state-of-the-art systems to deliver rapid results and encourage innovative thinking to achieve the best solutions, on-time.
Your Day to Day:
· Research and understand the complex aerodynamics associated with this eVTOL jet, such as hover in ground effect, transition and vortex-wing interactions.
· Support development of the Aerodynamic Databank for the Lilium Jet using both Wind Tunnel and CFD data.
· Interrogation of large data sets to link underlying physical trends and communicate findings to the wider team.
· Develop tools to automate pre- and post-processing tasks to increase efficiency of the team.
· Assist with validation activities by analysing wind tunnel and flight test data, comparing to CFD and tuning of parameters to improve representation of the model for our application.
· Analysing and assessing design deviations during the detailed design and flight test phases, as well as any potential changes made to future aircraft batches which affect the aerodynamic behaviour.
Your Profile:
· MEng or M. Sc. in Aeronautical Engineering or similar.
· 1-2 years professional experience in an Aerospace or otherwise high-performance Engineering team
· Fundamental knowledge of low-speed aerodynamics and flight mechanics.
· Ability to handle and efficiently analyse large data sets, using Python or similar.
· Practical experience in computational modelling approaches, experience in STARCCM+ is a benefit.
· High level of self-reliance, ability to work in a team and an autonomous target-oriented workstyle is essential.
· Strong motivation to develop and improve analysis tools in a fast-moving environment.
· Fluent English language skills are essential, fluent German or any other language would be beneficial
