Job description

Job Description:

In order to support the Manoeuvre Loads Team in Hamburg, Airbus is looking for a

Aerodynamics Engineer for Manoeuvre Loads Calculation (d/f/m)

As Flight Physics we are at the heart of aircraft design and deal as part of the engineering organisation with the key flight sciences.

In the Manoeuvre Loads Team in Hamburg we perform load calculations covering our fleet from a very early design stage until certification and finally during airline operations. We are responsible for build model activities such as aerodynamics modelling for the manoeuvre loads models and integrating model bricks. We subsequently perform manoeuvre loads calculation and provide the loads data to our component loads colleagues. In addition to this, the team is strongly involved in performing loads in-service support, research and technology aspects with new aircraft configuration assessments, new services, model based system engineering, automation, and machine learning.

Having the transverse view of the whole aircraft, our main mission is to deliver suitable aircraft design and configuration for optimum performance. As such we are fully part of the current and future challenges in designing a safe aircraft meeting the highest sustainability and operational standards.

We are present throughout the full aircraft life-cycle: supporting sales campaigns from early definition phase through the core design phase and onwards into supporting manufacture, flight testing and the aircraft in service. By this we ensure the best-operational and safe use of the aircraft and create value for our customers.

We are aeronautical engineers, developers and innovators. We make use of cutting edge technologies in our tools as digital enablers are key to ensure our success.

Your location

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry. Experience the special flair of Hamburg in your spare time where vibrant cosmopolitan culture meets nautic legacy.

Our Benefits for You

• Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
• Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
• Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
• Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
• Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Your main focus will be on performing build model activities such as aerodynamics modelling for the manoeuvre loads computation models and supporting modelling methodology development and harmonization/ improvement projects.
• You will perform manoeuvre loads calculations covering our fleet from a very early design stage until certification.
• You will support research and technology aspects with new aircraft configuration assessments, new services, model based system engineering, automation, and machine learning.
• You would also support airlines through Airbus Customer Services by carrying out L&A analyses of in-service events:
  • Contribute to Loads In-Service Support with trouble shooting activities in the L&A design office context for development and production flight test and in-service aircraft, perform related L&A assessments.
  • Engage for timely response to engineering queries as on-call engineer for Loads In-Service Support.

Desired skills and qualifications

• You have several years of working experience in aerodynamics and/ or steady state aeroelasticity or a PHD in the same field
• You have a Master degree in the STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics)
• You are curious and interested in developing new methodologies, driving improvements and shaping the future of aeronautical engineering
• Your positivity and motivation enthuses your team. You are willing to master your responsibilities in an empowered environment.
