Descripción del empleo

Job Description: A position for a Low Observability (LO) Engineer has arisen within Airbus Defence and Space in Getafe (Madrid). The successful applicant will join the LO Engineering Spain Department.

In general terms, a LO Engineer in this Department is expected:

• To understand the foundations of Operational Analysis and Preliminary Design.
• To understand the influence of vehicle architecture on multi-spectral signature.
• To understand the overall product life cycle of military aircraft with respect to its influence on signature.
• To master the area of signature reduction.
• To master LO design and analysis (radar, IR and visual), being able to specify designs and architectures to meet LO requirements.
• To characterize and validate signature via simulations and measurements, defining the adequate simulation / test plans.

Responsibilities

• To perform advanced LO analysis and Radar Cross Section (RCS) predictions using electromagnetic (EM) simulation tools (both proprietary and commercial).
• Active participation in multidisciplinary designs.
• Propose design modifications (geometry, materials…) and drive designs to achieve LO requirements.
• To prepare complex CAD geometries to get accurate results from electromagnetic solvers.
• To post-process and interpret large volumes of simulation data, translating them into clear, actionable design recommendations for multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• To devise test plans and validate simulation results against measurement of real prototypes, quantifying both simulation and measurement limitations.
• To research in the field of stealth to have a solid understanding of the discipline (past, present and future) to drive the design activities.

Required Technical Skills

• Degree in Telecommunication Engineering, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Physics.
• Strong background in EM theory: e.g. scattering and radiation phenomena, EM properties of materials, wave propagation, ...
• User of complex and advanced tools for EM simulation and modelling (e.g. FEKO, CST, HFSS).
• Ability to adapt quickly to proprietary, in-house tools environments.
• User of CAD management tools (pre- and post-processing): e.g. CATIA, GiD, FreeCAD, Hypermesh.
• Scripts programmer (e.g., Python) for pre-processing, post-processing, and data automation workflows.
• Awareness of signature measurement data processing algorithms design, such as ISAR.

Nice-to-have Technical Skills

• Knowledge about Computational Electromagnetics (CEM): e.g., MoM, FDTD, FEM, or high-frequency/asymptotic methods like PO/PTD.
• Knowledge about High Performance Computing (HPC).
• Knowledge about LO design and solutions.
• Knowledge about Systems Engineering (SE).

Preferred Soft Skills

• Ability to work steadily and mostly autonomously on a problem until solving it.
• Active team player.
• Ability to overcome difficulties in the development of the projects.
• Communication skills, adapted to different audiences.

Which Benefits Will You Have as Airbus Employee?

• Vacation days plus additional days-off along the year.
• Attractive salary.
• Hybrid model of working when possible, promoting the work-life balance.
• Collective transport service in some sites.
• Benefits such as health insurance, employee stock options, retirement plan, or study grants.
• On-site facilities (among others): free canteen, kindergarten, medical office.
• Possibility to collaborate in different social and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
• Excellent upskilling opportunities and great development prospects in a multicultural environment.
• Special rates in products & benefits.
