Flight Physics Engineer — UAVs & eVTOL, Python Automation

Arbeitnow; Vaud; Vor Ort; CHF 120.000 - 170.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Harmattan AI in Vaud, Switzerland, seeks an Aerodynamic Engineer to drive the flight physics of UAV and eVTOL platforms. You will design, validate, and improve aerodynamics across the full loop—from concept and simulation to testing and Python tooling.

Collaborate with Mechanical and GNC teams, apply CFD/low/high-fidelity methods, and help build aerodynamic databases for control law tuning. A pragmatic, hands-on mindset in a small, fast-moving team is essential.

Qualifikationen

• Solid grasp of aerodynamic fundamentals (lift, drag, stability) and flight dynamics.
• Hands-on experience with validation loops (simulation or testing).
• Proficient in Python scripting to automate analysis and glue engineering tools.

Aufgaben

• Contribute to aerodynamic layout and analysis for fixed-wing, multicopter, and eVTOL configurations.
• Support flight test and wind tunnel campaigns, define test cards and instrument prototypes.
• Develop Python tooling to automate analysis workflows and connect design and simulation tools.
• Generate and maintain aerodynamic databases and stability derivatives for GNC and autopilot tuning.
• Collaborate with Mechanical and GNC teams to ensure feasible, stable designs.
